Fortnite Resolution or Screen Size Is Wrong? Fix Display Settings
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
Choose a resolution supported by the active monitor, update the graphics driver if options are missing, and reconnect or replace the display cable before editing configuration files.
Identify the display
Confirm which monitor Fortnite is using and note the monitor's native resolution in Windows Settings > System > Display. Disconnect duplicate or inactive displays only if you understand the layout.
Choose a supported Fortnite mode
Open Fortnite Settings > Video and select a display mode and resolution offered for that monitor. Apply the setting and confirm the image remains visible.
Restore missing choices
If expected resolutions are absent, install the current graphics driver from the GPU manufacturer. Epic also recommends reconnecting the monitor cable or testing another known-good cable.
Match Windows scaling carefully
Keep Windows at the monitor's recommended resolution and review scaling only when menus are clipped. Do not force a resolution beyond the display's documented support.
Test and revert
Restart Fortnite and verify the lobby and a match fit the screen. Revert the last change if the display becomes unstable or text becomes unreadable.

If it does not work
- If the entire Windows desktop is clipped, correct the monitor, TV overscan, or Windows display setting before Fortnite.
- If Fortnite offers only one resolution in borderless mode, compare fullscreen mode without deleting configuration files.
