Can't get Dual Screen to work correctly

I'm using a Samsung 32" TV as my main monitor, and a Dell 15" monitor as a secondary. The Samsung has a 1366x native resolution and the Dell has a 1024x. I can't get the two different resolutions to display my desktop correctly. Either the Dell monitor truncates the desktop and rearranges the icons that don't fit, or the Samsung displays everything correctly and the Dell alerts that it's resolution is wrong. Windows 10 also insists on calling the Dell Display 1 whereas I'd like the Samsung to be that. I'm only using the dual screen to play video games. The Samsung shows the game, and the Dell has the research websites I use for parsing.

    Adjust the resolution of each monitor so that they match Select one monitor for primary use.
