You haven't said whether Windows automatically picks the right
resolution, or whether you manually tell it what to do.

I've seen plenty of situations where Windows requires manual
intervention to get the computer working with a particular display
device (one that provides no configuration details to the computer, or
the wrong details).  In the absence of that information, Windows, like
Linux, will default to some defaults that are expected to work.  Given
the wrong information, anything could happen.
