“Can I lower the resolution to 1366x768 to match my dual monitor Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421? I am currently using a Lenovo IdeaPad U300s 13.3" inch screen. I am pairing it with my Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421, as a dual monitor, and it works just perfectly. The maximum resolution on my U300s laptop is 1366x768. There are many reasons why I would like to upgrade to a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, but one of the deal breakers would be if I will have any difficulty pairing it with my dual monitor, since I use it almost all the time. I understand that the Yoga 2 Pro has a amazing 3200x1800 screen resolution, but my concern is that I might have a headache using two screens with different resolutions, and I am willing to lower the resolution for the sake of being uniform If I lower down the resolution on the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro to 1366x768, will the screen resolution be a little distorted since the screen on the Yoga 2 Pro is not really made for this? Or will it work just perfectly fine, as if I was using my U300s? Thanks!”

Chris, you don't need to lower the resolution. With windows 8.1 you can have different object sizes for each monitor. In desktop right click on the screen and select screen resolution, then make text and other items larger or smaller, uncheck let me choose one scaling level for all my displays. Then select the size you prefer. I use Larger for the laptop screen and smaller for my 23 inch monitor. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had a similar issue with my Yoga 2. I have an 19" HP monitor with a much lower native resolution. I hooked it up as an alternate monitor which means the Lenovo screen turns off on that setting and the resolution on the HP drops down a lot. I got big icons and big fonts but really not an issue for me because I am using it for viewing typing in Word that I do a lot. Now when I pull the HDMI cable out the Lenovo resets to native resolution which I like. I do not want to muck around changing the Lenovo resolutions for the HP set up to get smaller fonts. I do not use the HP all the time so I am happy.
