Hello,
Since yesterday I have a problem, I bought a new PC and I wanted to connect it to a 19-inch monitor to be able to watch my series on a larger screen. When I plugged it in, both screens lit up, but the resolution is really bad, so I went looking in the driver of my AMD card and there was a mistake (which I forgot!...) the monitor screen goes dark with the message "OUT OF RANGE". Can you tell me how to recover my display???
Thank you!

When restarting the PC with only one screen, it will detect the appropriate mode and generate a signal displayable by that screen.
When connecting a second screen, start the "detection" using the display management software (Windows tool or graphics card tool) to select each screen and choose the desired mode (resolution and refresh rate).

Because the manuals don't say everything...
But they don't say nothing either, right!

I've read your message and thank you, but doing the manipulation you suggested doesn't change anything. The screen stays black with the failure message I mentioned in the first post... I go to the VGA properties of my graphics card, and nothing...
Please respond in the comment of the reply above, not in "new reply"... respect the forum structure, it helps with tracking.
Just to clarify:
what type of PC?
screen 1, what is it?
how is it connected to the PC (type of cable, at which port)?
screen 2, what is it?
how is it connected to the PC (type of cable, at which port)?
what do you mean by "the resolution is really bad"?
after your action in the graphics card manager, which screen displays "out of range"?
please answer each question clearly.

Number 1 It’s a portable AsusE 350 laptop with an AMD Radeon HD6310 Graphics card.
It is connected to a desktop monitor via VGA.
The second screen is from Sonic, which serves as the VGA receiver.
When the desktop was displayed on both screens (laptop and desktop monitor), the application icons appeared much larger than on the laptop screen alone.
The screen that displays out of range is the second one, which is used for more enjoyable viewing.
There you go Erwan, I hope you have all the cards in hand to help me. Thank you!

OK. So, you have the first screen, which is the built-in screen on the laptop, and the second external screen, connected via VGA cable (brand SONY, I suppose, not "Sonic").
"When the desktop was displayed on both screens (laptop and external PC screen), the application icons appeared much larger than on the laptop screen alone."
This means that when the PC generates the image to both screens (in "clone" mode),
the resolution used (number of pixels in height and width) is lower than the resolution of the laptop screen.
Since the icons have a defined number of pixels, they then appear larger when the overall image size is smaller.
This means that the external screen does not have a resolution as high as that of the laptop screen.

""It's when I wanted to change the definition that it struck me "out of range" "
In this case, if we do not validate the change, it automatically reverts to the previous definition after 15 seconds.
This avoids ending up with a persistent black screen after selecting an unsupported resolution...
Except that here, you validated the change, either accidentally or intentionally.
With Windows' screen management tool, it's possible to change the definition of the other screen by displaying this window on the functional screen, selecting a low resolution, and then gradually increasing until finding the most suitable definition (if the native resolution is not known; if it is known, it's quicker: it can be selected directly).
