Hello All
I have Lenovo y500 which is FULL HD laptop. I am using my laptop in 1080p (thats what my screen resolution is set to). When i downloaded some rainmeter 1080p skins it didnt fit in my screen. I thought it was bug in those skins. When going through some webpages it shows my resolution is set to 1536 x 864. I am confused. . I even checked in other websites. There is no Hardware fault because I used those same 1080p skins When I was in Win 8. Now I am using win 8.1 update 1. To make things complicated, the captured screen shot is of 1080p resolution only. So i think is this work of my graphic card ?
How I Solved it:

How I Solved it:
Okay after Hours of Google Search found that I am not alone with this weird problem. Some of the other 1080p Laptop owners also faced the same wrong res problem. Even they had the same 1536 x 864 res wrongly. And the Solution is very Simple.

I dont know how this option relates to my issue, but it is fixed now. 1080p wallpaper fits perfectly and so are 1080p wallpapers and Those websites too show 1080p res.
