Wrong resolution or squished image on XR glasses

Applies to display glasses on Windows 10/11.

Squished (everything half-width)

The glasses are in 3D/SBS mode showing a 2D desktop. Switch back to 2D.

Stretched or letterboxed

In Duplicate mode Windows uses a shared resolution. Use Extend, or match a 16:9 laptop resolution. 16:10 glasses need 1920×1200.

Soft everywhere

Non-native resolution. Set native in Advanced display; make text bigger with scaling (125–150%), not resolution.

After a 3D app

Some apps leave the glasses in 3D; toggle 2D/3D.
