+# How to get the home office monitor working
+
+- Run the following commands
+
+```shell
+
+# Check output and note what's the name of the display
+xrandr --listmonitors
+DISPLAY_NAME="write_the_name_here"
+
+# Then run the following and copy what comes in the modeline after "Modeline"
+cvt 1920 1080 59.80
+
+# First generate a "modeline" by using cvt
+# Syntax is: cvt width height refreshrate
+
+cvt 1920 1080 59.80
+
+#this gives you:
+
+# 1920x1080 59.79 Hz (CVT) hsync: 66.96 kHz; pclk: 172.50 MHz
+Modeline "1920x1080_59.80"  172.50  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
+
+# Now tell this to xrandr:
+
+xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_59.80"  172.50  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
+
+# Then you can now add it to the table of possible resolutions of an output of your choice:
+
+xrandr --addmode ${DISPLAY_NAME} 1920x1080_59.80
+
+#The changes are lost after reboot, to set up the resolution persistently, create the file ~/.xprofile with the content:
+
+#!/bin/sh
+xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_59.80"  172.50  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
+xrandr --addmode ${DISPLAY_NAME} 1920x1080_59.80
