Wrong screen detection (29" monitor detected as 34")

[Nikos]

Hello can someone help me? I use latest manjaro xfce version and it recognizes my screen as a 34" lg though its been a 29" ultrawide screen. Also everything seems smaller now, shrinked somehow. How can i make the os recognize my screen properly?

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information.

Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

@Nikos, I put this in the wiki long ago:

If no one gives you better help, then you should be able to get your monitor functioning properly by setting it up manually.

Good luck.
