🪟Display Settings on Windows

This page goes over how to adjust display settings on Windows computers.

For Looking Glass software to work as best as possible your Looking Glass display must be set to the proper resolution. The following recommendations will make sure that your computer and Looking Glass are setup properly.

Display Adapters

If your computer only has USB-C output, you'll need a display adapter to connect the HDMI or DisplayPort cable to your Looking Glass. For Looking Glass Portrait, we typically recommend adapters from Anker. For Looking Glass Go, we recommend this official adapter.

If you need a different display adapter, ensure that it supports at minimum 4K@30Hz for use with the Looking Glass Portrait and Looking Glass 16", and 5K@30hz for the Looking Glass 27".

Display Settings

To get to display settings, open the Settings app and then click on Display.

Windows usually sets new monitors to Duplicate to the main screen. In order for your Looking Glass to work properly, it must be set as an Extended Display. Select the Duplicate these displays text and then choose Extend these displays. This will now show two rectangles in the Settings menu, representing your main monitor and your Looking Glass display.

Select your Looking Glass display and scroll down until you see the Display Scaling and Resolution options, under the Scale and Layout category.
