Windows – On Windows XP – Change monitor resolution based on which user is logged in

Not every display resolution has to be 16:9 or 4:3.

My laptop and my TV have the well known 16:9 ratio.
My regular display has 16:10, at least they are marketed as 16:10, however the image below has them as 8:5. The broken screen that still sits on top of the locker behind me has a resolution of 5:4.

The image below shows most of the standard resolutions that are available.

I actually like 16:10 more than 16:9 and would pay a fair amount more money to get one of these instead. This however is personal opinion but should exemplary show you why there are not only two but a lot more standards to choose from.
Why do I like it so much? Not all movies are 16:9, there are a lot of 4:3 shows out.
When playing games I like it more to have a bit more vertical space to place menus, HUDs etc.
This of course comes down to personal preference. Personal preference between individuals is different and so are displays.

Why are displays marketed as 16:9 if they are not?
If this is done knowingly, I'd call that a scam.

The resolutions available tend to be dictated by your graphics driver not the drivers for your display if they have any particular special functions.

First you need to identify your Graphics Card (If any, you could be using integrated graphics) by visiting Device Manager (Right-Click the start button, Left-Click Device Manager) and then expanding Display Adapters.

Depending on the information there, you should be able to search for a Windows 10 driver for your graphics adapter. Install it and display settings should be able to have the full resolution set.

If you want a specific link to the driver you need, reply in a comment with the Display Adapter listed in Device Manager.
