<p>This can happen because the display resolution that you have set it is not the right one for your screen.</p>

<title>When multiple displays are connected</title>

<p>If you have two displays connected to the computer (for example, a normal monitor and a projector), the displays might have different resolutions. However, the computer's graphics card can only display the screen in one resolution at a time, so at least one of the displays might look fuzzy.</p>
48
<p>You can set it so that the two displays have different resolutions, but you won't be able to display the same thing on both screens simultaneously. In effect, you will have two independent screens connected at the same time. You can move windows from one screen to another, but you can't show the same window on both screens at once.</p>
50
<p>To set up the displays so that they each have their own resolution:</p>
54
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-terminology">Activities</gui> overview and
55
start typing <gui>Displays</gui>.</p>
58
<p>Click on <gui>Displays</gui> to open panel.</p>
61
<p>Uncheck <gui>Mirror Displays</gui>.</p>
65
<p>Select each display in turn from the gray box at the top of the <gui>Displays</gui> window. Change the <gui>Resolution</gui> until that display looks right.</p>
