External Outdoor LED screen as Extended/Duplicate Display

Hello all,

I recently installed an outdoor LED screen at my premises for advertising my business.

The screen is 3m x 3m in size. The manufacturers of the screen gave me software to allow me to play media on. This works perfectly fine and at the right resolution.

But, I recently tried to stream a live game on the screen. I have not been able to get the right resolution and the outdoor screen only displays a portion of what's playing on the desktop.

I will be extremely grateful for any help.

TV brand/model? Software name and version?

Also, 3m x 3m would be a square screen. Nothing (here in the US anyway) is broadcast in a completely square frame. Old material is 4:3, and all new material and broadcasts are widescreen 16:9. Viewing either of those in a completely square resolution will either crop off the edges of the frame or display with black bars on the top and bottom. How or if it's even possible, will depend on the software that you are using.

Hi Oddba11,
It's not a TV it's a LED Display screen. Like the one used to show the scores and replays in stadiums for live games.

If you see the two images I have attached. File 3368 is a picture of my desktop. File 3369 is the photo of my external LED screen. You will see that the outdoor screen is only displaying a small section of the entire desktop.

Is there any way to change this resolution?

The resolution dictated by the display (ie: monitor, TV, LED Display, etc.).

When you clone or duplicate the display, both need to operate at the same resolution.

Based strictly on the images above, I'd say your current desktop is a much higher resolution then the LED display. Thus you are only seeing part of the image.

However, I don't know how the software works that provides the output to the Display. IF the output is adjustable, I would expect it to be adjustable within that software.
