Interface, Port and Protocal
Before talking about connections, let's make it clear for definiton of interface, port, and protocal. Although they seems very similar, each one has it's own meaning. For example, when we say Thunderbolt 3, it refers to a Thunderbolt 3 interface with USB Type-C port and Thunderbolt 3 protocal. And when we say Thunderbolt 2, it refers to a Thunderbolt 2 interface with Mini Displayport (MDP or Mini DP) and Thunderbolt 2 protocal.

· Protocal is the agreement of the interface, define the ways it transfer the data and what it can transfer, like Thunderbolt 2 or USB 3.0
Female Port and Male Port
Besides, when we say port, it also has two physical type, one is Female Port, another is Male Port. Female port is commonly find on devices, like HDMI port on your laptop or TV.

· Port is a Female Port on devices like laptop, TV and portable monitor.
· Connector is a Male Port on cables, like USB-C cable and HDMI cable.
For a cable, there should be two or more connector on both ends, so the full name of a cable should including both of the connectors, like USB-C to USB-C cable, or shorten to C-C cable. In common sense, a Type-C cable will refer to a USB-A to USB-C cable, a USB cable will known as a USB-A to micro USB cable. In help center, will include the two connector to avoid any misunderstanding.
Connection and Signal
Therefore, connection is using a cable with two connector to connect two devices, each has a female port, and ensuring the data can go smoothly from device A to device B. As we are talking about monitor and screen display, the data tramsit is mainly refers to Video & Audio Signal.
All consumer electroic can not leave without power or battery, so to ensure the data transmit, there should be power supply, whether from a charger socket, or from device A to device B, or B to A, we call it Power Signal.
Last, in case you need touch control, the cable should also be able to transfer Touch Signal. That means to make a portable monitor work, below signals are requested:
· Video & Audio Signal
· Power Signal
· Touch Signal (Optional)
Setup Methods
Now that we make all definitions clear, let's go ahead to guidance for each ways of setting up your uperfet monitor:
· Use One USB-C to USB-C Cable
· Use HDMI, mini DP, VGA or DVI cable
· Use USB-A or 3 IN 1 lightning to HDMI adapter

USB-C to USB-C
If connecting to a laptop using USB-C with one cable, ensure that you have a Thunderbolt 3 / 4, or Full Feature USB-C (3.1 or later) port with DP 1.4 and PD power delivery. Some laptops use USB-C only for high-speed charging (Power Delivery--PD) but no video output (DisplayPort--DP), check with your laptop provider for details or check this site www.epey.com for reference. You might need Google to help you translate because it's a Turkish site.
Search your model and find Connection & Interfaces in the specification. If you can find USB 3.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and Power Delivery, then your laptop should be compatible.
As USB 3.0 is renamed several times, you might be confused when it says USB 3.2 Gen 1. Here is a chart to help you understand better and make sure you have at least USB 3.0.

Most modern portable monitors come with a USB-C to USB-C cable. Make sure to plug it into the right Type-C port on the monitor, as some ports might only provide power and are labeled as PD ports.
If you’ve connected everything correctly and your laptop supports Thunderbolt 3.0 or newer, but the power indicator on the portable monitor is green and you still see the "No Signal" message, it's time to check for other issues.
Mini HDMI, HDMI, or DisplayPort
If your laptop doesn’t have any extra USB-C ports to connect to the monitor, or if the USB-C connection isn’t working, you can try using the Mini HDMI, HDMI, or mini DisplayPort on your laptop, as these can also transmit video signals. The port you choose will depend on your monitor. If you still see 'No Signal' after connecting with any of these ports, you can try to use a new cable. When that doesn’t help, ask the retailer for help.
Computers
Many users are using the second external screen with computers or PCs. If the device is not yet upgraded to an HDMI port for video output, they need to convert VGA or DVI to HDMI. If that's the case, ensure your adapter can support VGA to HDMI compatibility because some adapters offer only one-way connectivity, HDMI to VGA. Besides, You should buy the "VGA to HDMI Converter with Audio", to avoid the display showing only video without any sound. However, since 2008, most desktop consoles and graphics cards have supported HDMI ports. Therefore, only a small number of people need to consider purchasing the aforementioned accessories in order to connect the monitor.
The reason for converting VGA or DVI to HDMI is that the first two only support video transmission, while HDMI also carries audio. Plus, HDMI can handle 4K high-definition video. The table below highlights the key differences between these three interfaces.

Gaming Consoles
The Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally, utilize USB-C, providing great versatility for connecting to monitors. In addition, Nintendo Switch also use HDMI when docked. You may also face the "No Signal" message when trying to connect your portable screen display to a Nintendo Switch console via a USB-C to USB-C cable. In such a case, ensure the monitor is powered via the Switch charger rather than the monitor's charger. If you want a more stable connection, you may use the HDMI port of the Switch dock. For best results, ensure all cables are in good condition and that the correct input source is selected on your monitor.
Besides the Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S (when docked) also use HDMI.
No Signal Troubeshooting for Smartphones
USB-C Port Compatibility
Most modern smartphones have USB-C ports, but few of them have video output functions. Phone brands that have upgraded the Type-C port to Full Feature function are mostly found in the Samsung Galaxy series, iPhone 15 series, and Honor Magic series. To confirm if you phone is in the list, ask your phone provider or check this site www.epey.com for reference.
Search your model and and look into Other Links in specification page, confirm your phone has USB 3.0 and DisplayPort. Besides, make sure the OS version is Android 10 or later, than your mobile phone should be compatible.
Desktop Mode
Now we can confirm that your phone can mirror to the monitor. However, when it comes to Desktop Mode, not all mobile brands build the lapdock operation system like Samsung Dex. You can click on this table (List of Smartphones with DisplayPort Alt Mode) to know more about this topic.
You can also go to the website www.epey.com, change the language to what you need, and filter for phones that have DisplayPort, Android 10 or above, and USB 3.0 or higher. Feel free to check out the screenshot below for reference.
3 IN 1 HDMI Adapter Cable
If your phone is not in the list, use this cable can also mirror your phone to the monitor. But keep in mind that this method is only for mirroring your screen, so it won't let you extend it.
You can connect your smartphone to the monitor by following these steps.
- Connect the monitor to power (if not battery-powered).
- Use the 3-in-1 adapter to connect your phone.
- Power the adapter via USB.
- Android: scan the QR code to pair. (iPhones connect directly.)
- The phone's display should now appear on the monitor.
After scanning the QR code and downloading the mirroring software on your Android device, you may also need to follow the instructions in the image below. For more information on how to do this, check out Method 2 in this article.
Insufficient Power Supply
There is a limit power output for smartphones. For moniotrs with larger screen size like 22 inche, higher resolution like 4K or refresh rate, it always need more power input. Power up the monitor with the power socket include in the package or use a PD power bank. To charge your portable monitor, choose a power bank that supports the PD Protocol Type. Lower-wattage banks may only support PD 1.0 or 2.0, which might not be enough. Check the table for outputs and protocols. Select a bank with a rating equal to or higher than your monitor's charger, such as 65W or more if your charger is 65W.

No Signal Troubeshooting for Gaming Consoles
Game consoles can connect to portable monitors using HDMI and USB-C ports, but not all of them support both options. This means there are some technical limitations when hooking up your portable monitor. If a console's HDMI port is HDMI 1.4 or higher, it should work fine. Some consoles even need a dock for HDMI connections. And while a few can cast directly using USB-C to USB-C, the USB-C port needs to support DisplayPort Alt Mode for that to work.

Generic Troubleshooting
HDMI Troubeshooting
Check the Protocols of HDMI
As mentioned earlier, HDMI should be at least version 1.4. You can go to the console's website to check if the HDMI port of the product meets HDMI version 1.4 or above. Otherwise, all of the subsequent checks will be in vain.
Check the HDMI Cable and Ports Physically
Remove the HDMI cable from both the gaming console and the monitor, and use a flashlight to check inside both ports for any bent pins. Meeting the bent pins in the HDMI port, you might see a "No Signal" message or a blank screen. In this case, unplug the monitor or gaming console from the wall and gently push the bent pins back into place using a flat screwdriver.
Try Switching the ends of the HDMI Cable
This method is the experience of many users. This method helps fix problems with a loose HDMI connection.
Try a Different HDMI Cable
HDMI cables can sometimes have issues, so if you have another one available, consider swapping it out with the current cable.
USB-C Problem Solving
Check the Protocols of USB-C
Connect your console to the display using a USB connection. You should make sure the USB port is at least USB-C 2.0 or 3.2 Gen 2 and that it supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.
Other Situations
Besides checking for incompatible port protocols, you can also try the following troubleshooting methods.
- The USB connection cable might not be plugged in all the way, or it could be loose or not making a good connection.
- Most modern portable monitors usually come with a USB-C to USB-C cable. Make sure to connect it to the right Type-C port on the monitor, as some ports are designated for power only and are labeled as PD ports.
Specific Troubleshooting
PlayStation 4
Press and hold the power button on your PS4 for seven seconds until you hear a second beep. If you see "No Signal," "Weak Signal," or a blank screen, check your resolution settings.
- Press and hold the power button again until the PS4 restarts, lifting your finger after the second beep.
- Use a USB cable to connect your controller to the PS4.
- Press the PS4 button on the controller to bring up the menu.
- Select "Change Resolution" (the second option) and press X.
- Press X again to restart your PS4.
- Select a resolution, keeping it compatible with your monitor (e.g. 720p for a 720p monitor).
- Press X to confirm. You should now be able to play your PS4.
Nintendo Switch
When you dock your Nintendo Switch, the LCD screen turns off, and what you were playing shows up on the monitor.
If you see a white screen or no image in monitor mode, try these steps.
- Unplug all cables from the dock.
- Disconnect the power adapter from the console and the outlet for about 30 seconds. Make sure you’re using the original Nintendo Switch power adapter (model HAC-002) and check for any damage.
- Take the Switch out of the dock, plug the power adapter back into it, and connect it to the outlet.
- Make sure your console is updated. If it is, hold the power button for three seconds to restart it, then go to "Power Options" and choose "Restart."
- Check that you’re using the original Nintendo Switch dock (model HAC-007). If you’re using a third-party dock, try switching to the original.
- Connect the power adapter to the dock and plug it directly into the outlet. Then, connect the HDMI cable from the dock to the monitor.
- Turn on the monitor and dock your console, ensuring it faces the same direction as the front of the dock.
- If the LED on the dock lights up but you still don’t see anything, try these:
Steam deck
Updating Your Dock's Firmware
To make sure your dock is running the latest firmware, you might want to try a full reset. Here's how to do it.
- Plug the power cable and your Deck into the dock.
- Restart your Deck.
- Disconnect both the Deck and the power cable from the dock.
- Wait for about 10 seconds, then plug them back in.
This should initiate the firmware update. If it doesn't, reconnect the Deck and the power cable to the dock. Then, unplug the power cable from the dock, which might help initiate the update.
Compatibility with Third-Party Docks and Hubs
Most compliant USB-C hubs and docks work great with the Steam Deck. Thunderbolt and DisplayLink docks may also work but they aren't officially supported.
For powering the Steam Deck, make sure your dock or hub supports USB-C Power Delivery (PD). Some docks might reserve a bit of power for other devices, which could trigger a "charger speed too slow" warning.
Monitor Settings Tips
Avoid using passive cable adapters like DisplayPort™ to HDMI as they might cause issues. Instead, stick with active cables or adapters.
Also, when you connect a cable to a monitor, your Deck's screen will go black, which is normal in "game mode." Currently, the only way to enable dual or multiple displays is by rebooting into desktop mode.
If your Deck doesn't go black when connecting an external monitor, try resetting it (see below). If it still doesn't detect the monitor, unplug and replug the cable, try a different input port, or test with a new cable since these can sometimes fail.
You can also try another source or dock like a laptop or tablet with a monitor output.
If you have multiple monitor cables, try those as well. Just remember a cable that works in one setup might not work in another due to differences in data rates, color depth, resolution, and refresh rates. This is especially true for high-resolution or high-refresh-rate setups. It's best to use compliant DP1.4 and HDMI2.0+ cables for the best compatibility.
In the Steam Deck UI, you can change the resolution and refresh rate by going to "Steam" > "Display." If lower settings display correctly, your dock, cable, or monitor might not support the mode you're trying to use.
Resetting Your Dock
If you think your dock needs a reset, just unplug the Deck and the dock completely including the power and display cables, and then plug everything back in. Keep in mind that even if you unplug the dock's power, it will still draw power from the Steam Deck, so make sure to disconnect both for a full reset.
ROG Ally
The dock connects the ROG Ally to the monitor, but if you run into a black screen when the HDMI cable is plugged in, here are two ways to fix it.
- Open Device Manager and uninstall the external monitor. Restart your device, but if the display is still blank, uninstall the graphics card and restart again. This should help the external display show up.
- Press M1 + X to enable mirrored display, then turn off mirroring and turn it back on. If it doesn’t work right away, try pressing those buttons a few more times.

The scaling between different monitors
If you find yourself in any of these situations.
- You've just set up dual monitors, but they have different resolutions.
- You're using a main screen alongside a portable screen, and their sizes are quite different.
- Dragging windows between screens feels awkward because of the scaling.
Then keep reading! We'll help you tackle those frustrating window scaling issues caused by differences in resolution and size.
1. Misalignment of Display Windows with the Same Size but Different Resolutions
Let's look at a dual-screen setup with a 27-inch 4K monitor and a 1080P screen.
Here's how to align them properly.
- Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and click on "Change Resolution".
- Select your 1080P secondary screen.
- Click on "Customize" to set a custom resolution.
- Set the horizontal pixels to 3840 and the vertical pixels to 2160.
- Click "Test", then "OK" to save the new virtual resolution for your 1080P screen.
- Finally, go to your computer's "Display Settings" and change the resolution of the secondary screen to 3840x2160.
This will give you a seamless cross-screen experience without any scaling issues.
2. Different Sizes and Resolutions but Proportionally Scaled Monitors
Now, let's tackle a setup with a 27-inch 4K monitor and a 14-inch 2K monitor.
In this case, we need a quick calculation.
1. First, we need to calculate the PPI (Pixels Per Inch) for both screens using the formula:
PPI=√(X²+ Y²) / Z
X is the horizontal pixel count, Y is the vertical pixel count, and Z is the screen size.
2. For the 27-inch 4K (3840x2160), the PPI is approximately 163.17.
For the 14-inch 2K (2560x1440), the PPI is around 209.8.
3. Next, divide the PPI of the main screen by that of the secondary screen:
163.17/209.8≈0.7777
4. Now, calculate the resolution you need for the secondary screen:
- Horizontal: 2560×0.7777≈1991
- Vertical: 1440×0.7777≈1120
5. Return to the NVIDIA Control Panel, set the secondary screen's resolution to 1991x1120, and adjust your display settings. This will ensure your windows drag smoothly across both screens without any noticeable scaling.
By following these steps, you'll have a perfectly aligned multi-monitor setup!
Why Can't My Monitor Run at 144Hz, 120Hz, or 100Hz?
Why is my 144Hz/120Hz/100Hz monitor stuck at 60Hz? Is this problem caused by hardware or software? What should I do to fix it? This article will clear up your doubts and provide you with the perfect solution.
Why Can't My Monitor Run at 144Hz/120Hz/100Hz?
The Reasons
If your monitor isn't reaching high refresh rates like 144H / 120Hz / 100Hz, there could be a few reasons for this:
- System incompatibility
- Incorrect cables not being used
- Monitor settings not adjusted to the required resolution
- Drivers not updated
- Portable monitor lacking external power
What Should I Do?
Check System Compatibility
First, ensure your device like a laptop, game console, etc., supports 2K resolution and has the necessary ports to connect to the display. You can check the product's official website or manual to see if it has a 2k resolution.
Generally speaking, many computers with integrated graphics can reach 2K at 60Hz/100Hz. But, to achieve resolutions above 2K at 120Hz, a computer with a dedicated graphics card is generally required. You can check if your computer has a dedicated graphics card by following these steps.
- Right-click on the desktop.
- Select Display settings or Display adapter properties.
- Open Device Manager.
- Expand Display adapters.
- Check for the professional graphics card name.
You can check your HDMI and USB-C ports for compliance.
- HDMI : supports up to 2560x1440 at 144Hz and 2560x1600 at 120Hz
- USB-C: goes up to 2560x1600 at 144Hz
Use the Right Cables
- Use high-quality cables like DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0 to connect the monitor to your device, ensuring proper transmission of high-resolution and high-refresh-rate signals.
- The cables with the monitor meet the highest output requirements, and you should not arbitrarily change them.
Adjust Display Settings
- Some devices might not automatically set the optimal resolution and refresh rate. You may need to manually set the display resolution to 2K (2560x1600) and the refresh rate to 144Hz for the smoothest experience.
- Enable Adaptive Sync (if available): If your monitor and device support technologies like AMD FreeSync, enable them to reduce screen tearing and enhance gaming performance.
- FreeSync typically requires settings above 60Hz. If set to 30Hz, display issues may occur.
Keep Drivers Updated
Install your device's latest graphics card drivers to ensure compatibility and optimal performance with the 2K 144Hz display.
Provide Sufficient Power
Some portable monitors may require an external power source for optimal performance. Please ensure the monitor is connected to a power outlet or the battery is adequately charged.
Why Can't I Select 120Hz or 2K/1440p When Connecting Xbox/PS4/PS5 to My Monitor?
The Reasons
Because monitors with a refresh rate above 120Hz must load games running at 120Hz or higher to display that refresh rate when connected to PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. This is how to enable 120Hz. It's due to the console's settings.
How to Set Refresh Rate to 144HZ or 2K/1440p?
Steps to Set 120Hz:
- On your console, go to Home.
- Navigate to Settings → General → TV & Display Options.
- Select Video Fidelity and Overscan.
- Under Display, set it to Auto-Detect.
- Go back to Display Options and choose 120Hz for the refresh rate.
Note: If the game doesn’t support 120Hz, the console will default to 60Hz, even if the monitor is capable of higher refresh rates (especially on Xbox Series X/S).
Steps to Set 2K/1440p:
- Go to the console's Home screen.
- Open Settings → General → TV & Display Options.
- Navigate to Video Fidelity and Overscan.
- Under Display, set to Auto-Detect.
- Go back to Display Options and select 1440p.
These settings allow the monitor to display the selected refresh rate and resolution, provided the console and game support them.
Why Doesn't My Monitor's Brightness Setting Save?
The Reason
- The monitor is not connected to a power source.
- The confirmation button was not pressed after setting the brightness.
- The low-power mode is not disabled.
- HDR is not turned off on the MacBook.
What Should I Do?
Monitor Connection to Power
Regardless of whether the monitor uses HDMI or USB-C for signal transmission, the PD interface of the monitor must be connected to a power source when adjusting settings. Otherwise, adjustments may fail, especially with high-power monitors. For example, with monitors over 2K, if you connect the laptop only via a USB-C cable without an additional power source, your brightness settings may not be saved. This is because the monitor is set to prioritize normal display functionality when USB-C power is insufficient to prevent a black screen.
Press the Confirm Button After Setting the Menu
If you adjust the brightness but forget to save it, your settings will not be saved automatically. Therefore, you need to press the confirm button for the adjustments to take effect.
Disable Low Power Mode
For monitors with a low power sub-menu, you need to enter the menu and disable low power mode before adjusting the brightness to successfully save your settings.
Disable HDR on MacBook
Sometimes, a MacBook may experience low brightness due to HDR being automatically enabled. You can try turning off the HDR on your laptop and then turning it back on. The steps to turn off HDR on a MacBook are:
- Click the Apple icon in the top left corner.
- Select System Settings (or System Preferences).
- Go to Displays.
- If your monitor supports HDR, uncheck the HDR option.
However, after turning off HDR, some users might run into new issues and find themselves asking, "Why is my monitor so bright when HDR is off?" You could be facing one of several scenarios. But don't worry, we’ll share some helpful solutions to get things back on track.
- Brightness Settings Too High
Your brightness might be set excessively high, especially if it was adjusted for HDR. Reduce brightness in the monitor's on-screen menu (OSD).
- Automatic Brightness Adjustments
MacOS may automatically adjust brightness, keeping it high even when HDR is off. You can click on System Preferences > Displays, and disable the “Automatically adjust brightness” option.
- High Contrast Settings
Elevated contrast and gamma settings can affect perceived brightness. You can adjust contrast ettings in your monitor's menu.
How to Calibrate Your Monitor?
Why Do Colors Look Different on Monitors and a Connected Device?
If you notice color differences between your monitor and your computer’s built-in display, don’t worry. This happens because each display uses different panels with varying color gamuts, color temperatures, brightness levels, and contrast ratios.
Your monitor will already be calibrated to its optimal settings when you get it. However, you can still adjust the brightness and color temperature based on your environment and personal preferences. Alternatively, try manually calibrating the monitor’s colors to minimize color discrepancies without a color calibrator.
What Should I Do?
When there is a noticeable color discrepancy between your laptop and monitor, you can use your eyes as a reference and manually adjust the color temperature and RGB settings to reduce the color discrepancy with your laptop.
The easiest way to align colors is by comparing the same desktop wallpaper on both screens and tweaking the settings bit by bit. Without a professional color calibrator, though, you'll need to rely on what looks comfortable to you. Achieving perfect color matching can be challenging since the color gamuts of laptops and monitors are usually different. For example, if your laptop uses DCI-P3 and your monitor only covers 72% of NTSC, the monitor's smaller gamut limits how accurately it can display certain colors. Even so, with some trial and error, you can follow basic color adjustment principles to get a closer match that works for your setup.
Adjusting the Color Temperature
The human eye is sensitive to color temperature. At higher temperatures (>6500K), images appear bluish and cool, while lower temperatures (<6500K) give a reddish or yellowish warm tone. Setting the temperature to 6500K makes whites look clean and natural, avoiding a blue or yellow cast.
Adjusting Contrast
Low contrast makes colors look dull, so increasing it helps them pop. Brighter screens enhance color vibrancy, but too much brightness can wash out colors. Keeping brightness at 50-70% ensures a good balance.
Choose a Stable Lighting Environment
When calibrating in a dark environment, colors often appear more saturated, making calibration in a stable lighting environment more reliable. It is advisable to use neutral or natural light sources (white light) and to avoid colored ambient lighting (such as warm yellow lights).
Choose a Professional Color Calibration Chart
You can download the following images or simply scroll through the article page. Open the same image on both the laptop and the monitor for color comparison. And then adjust the monitor's RGB, reducing the color difference. Here are some simple tips for calibrating your monitor's color.
Use Black-and-White Photos for Color Calibration
If the black-and-white image shows color shifts (such as a bluish or yellowish tint), it indicates an imbalance in the RGB channels.
Alternate Between Near and Far Observation
Observe the screen from both close and distant perspectives to ensure the colors remain consistent regardless of distance. Viewing from too far away may result in red or blue color shifts.
Adjust Specific Colors for Calibration
If the image appears cool or bluish, reduce the blue channel or increase the red and green.
If the image looks warm or yellowish, lower the red channel and slightly increase the blue.
Why image turn Gray when HDR is enabled?
To make HDR work, both your monitor and computer need to have HDR turned on. If only one of them is set to HDR, the colors on the monitor might get messed up, often looking gray.
Enable HDR on Your Monitor
1. Press the menu button on your monitor.
2. Find Color or Display settings.
3. Look for HDR and switch it On/Auto (some monitors turn HDR on automatically).
Turn On HDR on a Windows PC
1. Make sure both your monitor and graphics card support HDR.
2. Use HDMI 2.0/2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4. to connect the devices.
3. Enable HDR in Windows Settings.
- Go to Settings > System > Display.
- If you have multiple monitors, select the one you want to adjust.
- Scroll down and turn on Use HDR.
4. Fine-Tune HDR Settings
- Click HDR Settings under the toggle to adjust brightness and color.
5. Keep Your Drivers Updated: Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date to avoid compatibility issues.
Turn On HDR on a macOS
1. Make Sure Your Mac and Monitor Support HDR.
2. Enable HDR
- Go to Apple Menu > System Settings > Displays.
- Select your monitor and turn HDR on.
- Adjust Brightness if Needed.
3. If HDR makes the screen dim, try adjusting the brightness manually. Some MacBooks automatically lower brightness with HDR on, but turning HDR off and back on might help.
Why Do I See BlackaBars or Stretched Images When Connecting My Monitor?
The reason
Black bars or stretched images usually happen when a monitor with a different aspect ratio is connected to a device. For example, connecting a 16:10 monitor to a 16:9 laptop or console can cause these issues.
What Causes Monitor Black Bars?
Monitor Black Bars Appear with Fixed Aspect Ratios
If you connect a device with a fixed 16:9 aspect ratio (like a Nintendo Switch) to a 16:10 monitor that automatically detects aspect ratios, you’ll likely see black bars at the top and bottom (since 10 - 9 = 1).
Extended Display and Video Playback Can Trigger Monitor Black Bars
When connecting a laptop in extended mode, if the input source is 16:9, black bars will appear, especially when playing videos with a fixed aspect ratio.
What causes Image Stretching?
Most game consoles operate in 16:9. If you want to eliminate the black bars, you can manually adjust the aspect ratio to fill the 16:10 screen. However, this will stretch the image vertically (stretching 9 to 10), and unoptimized 16:10 monitors may force that stretch.
But if you're looking at documents, there won’t be any stretching since the computer automatically recognizes the resolution. In extended mode, the resolutions of the main and secondary displays typically don’t conflict.
What should I do?
Ignore the Black Bars
In fact, if you want to eliminate the monitor black bars, you will have to deal with image stretching which can't be solved. So it ultimately depends on your personal preference. If you want to keep the original image quality of the game's screen ratio, the black border can't be removed. As you can see in the pictures below, it doesn't affect the gaming experience.
