I have an Acer laptop with VGA output. The problem is when I connect it with my full hd Samsung TV, it shows the picture but not at full screen. From the settings when I choose VGA output laptop and tv screens get blacked and nothing happens. Then I try via SSH and run xrandr and I see that the VGA is connected and the Resolution is 1920x1080. Please I want your help to make possible to see the screen on my Samsung smart TV and how can I make it as my primary monitor. Thanks

You have to disable output of the laptop display first. However I think YMMV when using a vga output....
if you post the output of xrandr I can help more.

Iruzak thanks for your answer and I hope you can help me. I have attached a photo with the output of xrandr

If you have SSH access, then there is no need for photos. LibreELEC has pastebinit support built-in.
Just 'pipe' the data and you will receive a URL:
For example: xrandr | pastebinit
and share that URL on the forum.
Usually laptops have a key combination for switching internal and external monitors.
Kodi does not support dual monitor with individual resolutions, it only supports clones.
Therefore, you probably get a 1366x768 screen portion on your 1080p television.
Disabling your laptop screen is key here. After that, xrandr commands in the autostart.sh file could do the rest.
