Access display settings
To access your display settings, navigate to the Start button at the bottom left of your screen. Click on it then type /"View/". You will see the display icon appear, click on it.
This will bring up your display settings pop-up. From here you can change your settings and organize your displays on Linux Mint and Ubuntu. If you don't see all your settings and buttons, click the Maximize button at the top right of the window. Note: I circled it in red to highlight it.
Selection of displays
To work with a screen, you must first select it. See below, I have 2 monitors, I can click on the one I want to work with and then I can adjust the settings. In the photo above, I have selected the other monitor in order to adjust the settings. One is green, the other pink, it is also labeled to differentiate between the two.
Display location
To see which display is which, click /"Detect Displays/" and the system will label each display at the top left of the screen.
Screen resolutions
Each screen has its own resolution and ratio. I covered ratios in more detail in an article on image sizing. However, with resolutions, you can experiment to see what the right setting is for your screens. Make sure you have selected the correct one to optimize your display. From the Resolution drop-down menu, you can select another setting and try it. Usually the recommended one is the best, but see what the others look like. Don't be afraid to try them because you can always "revert/" back to your current settings when you try others.
Refresh rate
When considering your refresh rate, remember that there are many different types of monitors. They created some for gamers who need quick responses and their refresh rate needs to be much higher. However, when you're coding or watching videos on Rumble or other platforms, you don't need such a high refresh rate. The higher the refresh rate, the more CPU it also consumes. For more information on this, see What is refresh rate and why is it important? -Intel
Rotation
Unless you have a screen that swivels, don't even bother with this option. Some people have portrait mode monitors, which is why this setting is there.
Fractional scaling
Fractional scaling is still in experimental development. However, I use it on my displays and it works fine. I like things a little bigger on my screen, so I zoomed it in to 200% to see the monitor better.
UI Scale
UI scaling is another way to make your display bigger or smaller. Experiment and see what's good for you.
Mirror screens
If you enable "Mirror Displays", then what you see on one monitor is what you will see on the other monitor. When you disable this option, your monitors will look like one long and wide monitor. You can move your mouse from one monitor to another. I like this setting because I can be more efficient while working.
Organize monitor displays
If you need to move one monitor to the left or right of the other monitor, it's easy to do. Simply click and drag the monitors. See the video for details on how this is done.
