Display resolution is different left and right sides

Hi, my HP G42 laptop now has a different display resolution on the left and right sides. The left half seems to have less resolution than the right side, the right side looks like it's in HD, the left side looks washed out. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a setting/software issue. The first time it appeared was after a windows 7 update was completed and installed, I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It works but is very annoying to look at.
Thank you,
Ray

Hi Ray_M,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having a problem with two different resolutions on each half of your screen. The easiest way to determine where the problem lies is to connect it to an external monitor. If the image is normal then we know it is an issue with the display screen but if the issue occurs on the external monitor then we know it is a problem with the drivers or the video card itself.
What is the product number for your g42? There are a number of different models in that series.

  • Left and Right Side buttons

    I just got a replacement 8330 because I dropped my previous one in a muddy puddle. I cannot remember how I originally re-programmed the left and right side buttons to run different applications than the default (camera, and voice dial). Can someone help me out?

  • Left and right side of screen does not register mouse clicks.

    The left and right side of my screen (when maximized) does not register a mouse click. I would estimate about 10 to 15 pixels in (top to bottom) before a button will register a click.
    If I work with in firefox not maximized everything works fine. As it stands I have had to add buttons to the left and right side of my Firefox navigation area to utilize the back and home button. I am also not able to use my scroll bar do to this situation with out connecting an external mouse.
    Operating system: Windows 7 Professional (64bit)
    Resolution 1280x800
    Computer: HP TouchSmart tm2 (1070us series)
    This laptop does have the touchpad type mouse, I do not think this is the problem though as it will work if firefox is not maximized.
    Assistance with this would be appreciated. I Love firefox but this is to much of an annoyance to deal with continually.

    Not sure if its ever overheated... I've never left it in a hot car if thats what you mean. Sometimes it gets very hot if I'm using EDGE for a while. I don't push hard which is why I don't think I caused it...
    I will bring it in this weekend and see what they say.
    I also think that the speakerphone sounds fuzzy and muffled a lot more than it did when I first bought it. So just another reason to bring it in.

  • It it possible to have info on the left and right sides of iweb templates?

    When I look at my iweb website there is empty space on the left and right sides of my screen. I was wondering if this space could be used at all?

    Hi
    You can increase the width of your Page, go into Inspector, Page Tab. From here you can adjust the Content Width, which is the width of your page, the bits that you see on the left and right are fillers, for people who's browsers are set bigger than your site. You can change the color that shows by changing the Browser Background.
    In the good 'ole days, most people had screens that were only 800 W x 600 H, but these days most people have at least 1024 W x 768 H (some do, no doubt still have 800x600). So, 1024 is really the max width you can go, dont forget that you need to leave some space for the browser as well, and the scroll bars.
    But pages this big are wider than normal, the best thing to do is experiment and see what works for you.

  • IPad2: After upgrad to iOS 8, video output lost left and right side

    I have a cable for my iPad2, once plugged in the bottom slot, it outputs video to TV Component port and audio to my amplifier. It's been working for years. After iOS 8 upgrade, I notice the video output lost left and right side. It's like
    [before iOS 8]     Apple iPad is a wonderful product for me.
    [after upgrade]             iPad is a wonderful product
    The "Apple" on the left, and "for me." on the right of screen is gone in output.

  • How do I get page numbers on the left and right side of the page?

    If the icons are from dmg files that were used to install 3rd party apps like this one for VueScan
    Control (right) - click on the open dmg icon and select "Eject  xxxx" from the contextual window.
    Then find the actual dmg file associated with those icons
    and drag to the Trash in the Dock and empty.

  • Opened a .ai file, found that left and right side are cut off (landscape vs. regular the issue?)

    Information all in the title.  I open a .ai file and the left and right sides of the image are cut-off based on the "page" box

    Did you open it in a lower version?
    It looks like you opened the PDF part of the file instead of the AI part.

  • Missing left and right sides of movies

    Why am I not seeing the full left and right sides of movies, converted using instant handbrake, during playback in itunes or on ipod touch and classic?

    On the iPod touch, to show the whole video, double touch the screen while it's playing.
    As for the other iPod and iTunes, I don't know.
    -Messymeese
    P.S.
    If the iPod touch thing that I said doesn't work, then I don't know what to do.
    Actually, did you happen to mess with the cropping settings while using hadbrake?

  • How to fill up my laptop screen with Firefox horizontally as it currently has a 3" margin on the left and right sides?tly has a

    I just purchased a 17.3" screened-laptop using MS Outlook and Explorer 9 Browser. I cannot use Firefox as my default Browser because I cannot get Firefox to fill up my screen.When I open up Firefox, it maintains a large 3" margin on the left and right sides which does not exist when I open up Explorer 9. Increasing the font size only increases the text size vertically but does nothing to decrease the margin size horizontally.

    You can use this extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

  • Dead Space on left and right side

    Is there any way to get rid of the dead space on the left and right hand sides? Thanks.

    Hi there,
    you can't completely get rid of the dead-space on the left and on the right. But you can increase the content width thus reducing the dead space.
    Select the page in iWeb, Open the Inspector, Go to the Page tab (second from the left) and select Layout, increase the number displaying under Content width (everything up to 950 should be alright but note that for some templates it doesn't work so good 'cause they weren't built to be increased... I hope they change that somewhen...)

  • LED display, bright edges, specially left and right

    I have a mbp 5.1 late 2008 model received jan 2009.
    My display/screen is becoming brighter and brighter at the left and right edges.
    If i look at a black screen, the left/right edges are not black but getting brighter than the rest of the screen.
    As this computer is primarily for serious photo processing, this is really annoying and if it gets worse its a computer who cant be used at all.
    Any ideas ? Any trips/trix to conquer the problem....or are the display pure and simply defect (great...just outside 2 years complaint period)

    Hello Dominic,
    It is not normal.
    Sometimes my windows are rounded the way yours are and sometimes they are not.
    Click on the picture of my post to zoom and see the problem.
    Here is another screenshot, this time with a windows which has no issues :

  • IMac display jumps 1 pixel left and right

    Has anyone ever heard of this before, it seems crazy to me.
    My iMac display started acting up two days ago.
    When the cursor crosses the screen from side to side, the screen jumps 1 pixel to one side!
    Specifically, moving the cursor from left to right, the screen jumps 1 pixel left (as if it is panning over to that side) and and the reverse for the reverse direction.
    The 'extra' column of pixels appears normal (ie not simply black).
    The picture is a little fuzzy.
    At lower resolutions, the screen looks terribly fuzzy like the anti-aliasing has become overactive (maybe this is a known issue for this video card) but doesn't jump.
    I've repaired permissions, rebuilt things, etc (using Onyx and also applejack) but no change.
    After my previous mac died prematurely I was sure to get Applecare for this iMac and need to take it back anyway (the dvd-burner has predictably failed) but I I was surprised I'd never heard of my pixel jumping problem before.

    More than likely somehow 'Zoom' got turned on.
    To disable Zoom, open System Preferences->Universal Access preference pane and disable Zoom.

  • Why does iphoto want to chop off the left and right sides of the photo I'm trying to print?

    Trying to print a group photo.  Using the borderless setting, I still always lose half of the persons at the end of the rows.  Why won't iphoto allow me to print the entire picture?

    It actuallyhelps if you provide details including version of iPhoto and of the OS and what you are doing
    with absolutely nothing but a problem my guess is that the print size is a different ratio than the photos size so somehting has to be left off - for example you can not print an 8x10 photo on a 4x5 piect of paper - depending on the camera you have your photos are either in a 3:2 ratio or a 4:3 ratio - the paper must be the same - or you must crop the photos to the paper size - or you must go to the customize screen and right click on the preview and fit to frame
    onc eyou provide basic information more specific help can be provided
