How can I set resolution 16:9 (1920x1080) on Windows

Hi,

I need to set a resolution 16:9 (1920x1080) on my windows to recorder a training videos.

I cannot see this resolutions on my windows.

Tks.

 

Hi WelitonF,

- Please go to Virtual Machine Configure ( http://kb.parallels.com/117287 ) -> Hardware -> Video -> Select Resolution to "Scaled".
- Start the Windows Virtual Machine and change the screen resolution to desired size (refer http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change-your-screen-resolution )

 

Hi, I am having this problem but I am not getting the option for 1920x1080? I had it before and it has now disappeared?

 

Did you reinstall Parallels Tools as a probable suggestion?

 

Hi Maria,
Yes I did try this but to no avail unfortunately.
Thanks,
Simon

 

Hi Paul,
Thanks for sharing. The problem isn't that I can't keep the resolution I want it is that I can't get the resolution I want. A week ago I could choose 1920x1080 as an option and then a few days ago it just disappeared and the closest option is now 1920x1200. Very frustrating.

 

Hi Paul,
Thanks for getting back to me. I have it set to scaled but there is no option in Windows that I can see which allows entering a custom resolution. You just get the scale bar which you can move up and down over the options. this previously had 1920x1080 as an option but it has since gone and I can only get 1920x1200. If you could post any specific steps to find what you are referring to in Windows after setting Parallels to scaled that would be helpful.
Many thanks,
Simon

 

Did this ever get resolved? I have the exact same issue. The resolution I was using 2560x1440 for some reason is no longer available in windows 11 (Parallels 17). I have logged in and out, rebooted the computer to no avail.

 

I am facing the same problem - I need 1920x1080 to run a special application.
