Two External Monitors With Different Resolutions?
Jun 19, 2012I have a small problem : I'm using my laptop at work and home with different external monitors and I end up having to manually set the display resolution constantly. I use a docking station so that I don't even have to open the laptop and I just send it to sleep and wake it up when I arrive to one place or the other. The problem is that my monitor at home is accepts way better resolution than the one at work, so when I wake it up at work, Windows tells me that it can't accept the resolution. I was wondering if there is a way to save settings for different monitors so that when I get to work I don't have to actually open the laptop and reset the resolution.

Jan 23, 2012So I switched TVs recently and decided to use my old LCD tv as a second monitor for my PC, as I thought it would be useful.
The TV is larger than the monitor, but has a smaller resolution. When I try to align the monitors in the resolution settings I can't seem to find anything that will let me say, "This screen has a smaller resolution, but is much larger. Adjust the mouse position according to real life, not resolution."
I don't really want to kill the resolution on the smaller monitor.
Mirror / Duplicate Monitors At Differing Resolutions
Nov 1, 2009Is there any way to set up a mirrored monitor setup with monitors of differing resolutions, but simultaneously maintain the native resolution on both monitors?
I have an onboard G31 video on my system. This particular motherboard has both a DVI and VGA output. I have DVI connected to an LCD (1980 x 1020) and VGA connected to a plasma 720p TV. When I mirror the monitors, the monitor and TV both display 1368 x 720.
I know that I could "extend" instead of "mirror," and thus fix the problem. But because this computer is ultimately for my grandmother's setup, using "extend" will not be an option, as it will greatly confuse her and make matter exponentially worse.
Is it possible to mirror and maintain native resolutions with some sort of software? Could I achieve this by purchasing two separate graphics cards?
Dual Monitors, Different Resolutions. Matching The Scale?
Jul 10, 2011I have 22" 1080p monitor which I use for gaming, but I also have a cheapo 19" 1440x900 monitor that I use for IRC, Vent etc.My problem is that everything looks larger on the smaller monitor due lower resolution. For example, dragging a window from 1080p monitor to the 1440x900 makes makes it increase in size by ~1/3. Also, you can only move your mouse to the smaller screen if it's within the top 900 pixels of the 1080p monitor. This make sense, but doesn't make it any less annoying.I thought of finding a way to force a higher resolution to the smaller monitor, though from searching around it seems very difficult/impossible. And If achieved it could also be dangerous to the monitor and the graphics card? reduce the scale of the second monitor so that the things are the same size and make the mouse pass between screens without being restricted to the upper 900p pixels on the 1080p monitor?
The important information:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Graphics card: GTX 570

Widescreen Resolutions Lost
Sep 3, 2009I've been with windows 7. It's fast, reliable, stable (even RC have been for me) and everything have been working A+ up until now.
This morning when I spent some time on computer before leaving to work, everything worked as they've worked so far. Now when I got back from work some 8-9 hours later, something was terribly wrong. My 22" LCD isn't recognized anymore and thus native resolution 1680*1050 isn't an option anymore. I really don't know what happened. I'm bit confused how it, what ever it is, happened.
My gfx is Geforce 8800GTS.
I've tried to update my Drivers, rebooting, fiddle with NVIDIA Control panel, nothing.
Trying To Get Multi-Monitor Resolutions Set Up
Oct 22, 2009I have been having a problem with trying to get Multi-Monitor resolutions set up. On XP my monitor setup is capable of 3360 x 1050; with 7 it automatically separates them and sets each resolution to 1680 x 1050, I would like to enable Span-extended desktop and have had no luck, CCC on XP allows this and on 7 the option simply isn't there. I was just wondering if I was overlooking something.

Oct 25, 2012I'd like to have an 8' screen with the pixel density of a normal computer monitor. Some information intensive projects I work on would benefit greatly from this amount of screen space. Are there any projectors capable of this? The only projectors I know of can project a 1920x1200 image, which is not what I want (I want a 10,000 x 7,000 screen, or as close as I can get)

View 1 Replies View RelatedSet Screen Projector Resolutions To Different Sizes
Jul 3, 2009I am using RC1 on an HP Mini 2140 PC with 1024x576 resolution. I just can't work out how to set the projector and screen resolutions to different values. Projector resolution is 1024x768. If I use the "duplicate screen" setting, it insists on using the 1024x576 for the projector as well. The only thing I have been able to do is to have only monitor 2 turned on, and have the correct projector resolution but nothing on the PC screen.
That defeats the effort. I want to use the PowerPoint feature that allows presenters to see speakers notes on the PC, but they are not on the projector. Second best would be to have 1024x768 on the PC screen as well, even though I would have to scroll down to see it.
Ideas?
Multiple Displays Don't Share Resolutions?
Nov 2, 2011I have this computer, with a GeForce 6200 TurboCache gfx card in it. With two Samsung SyncMaster 931BW attached. One VGA, one DVI.
Earlier, this pc was running windows XP, and both displays were set to their native resolution of 1400 x 900. I deployed Windows 7 on it, and now I can't set both monitors. One is at 1400 x 900, the other defaults to 1024 x 768, AND they get swaped around on the multi display. The left gets put on the right, etc. If I try and select 1400 x 900, it flickers but no resolution change.
Yes I'm on the latest Nvidia driver for this brand of card. No I haven't tried another card yet because I can't find a spare. It was working in XP, and trying to get to the bottom of this is frustrating.
If you need more information, ask. I'm going to be here for 4 more hours.
Also, in case it's relevant - In the Nvidia control panel, under 'change resolutions' It correctly detects both sync masters. It's detecting the VGA one as 'VGA - PC display', but the DVI one as "composite - standard definition television"

Apr 25, 2012The cable is only giving me a resolution of 1680x1050 and it is ghosting they are also only giving off a generic monitor rather then recognizing the model of the monitor. The standard VGA cables you receive when you buy work fine. Doing research I've read that the longer the cable the lower the quality? The graphic cards are lower end AMD cards but are new. All drivers on graphic cards and monitors have been updated to the latest yet it hasn't had any effect.

Aug 9, 2012When i am playing a fullscreen game that i cant run at 1920x1080p (my native screen resolution) I turn it to 1280x720p but it makes the picture too wide and really big annoying black borders at the top and bottom. And by "too wide' i mean most of the gui is forced off the screen. I want to know how i can make it fill the screen. I assume that this is even possible because my console makes the picture fit the screen( on the same moniter) at lower resolutions such as 1280x720p.

Oct 2, 2009I noticed that my current resolution is set automatically by Windows 7 to the max on a 22'' screen which is 1680*1050 at that high resolution everything is super sharp and crisp.. But if i try to go a little lower, even by one step, the text and the objects seem a little bit less sharp. For example if I go to the 1280*1024 resolution, like I am used to while running windows XP, the sharpness fades a little bit..

Jun 13, 2012I could use a larger resolution than my display on XP and it would just scroll, now i have windows 7, i can't seem to be able to. Most of the resolutions are gone even after unselecting only display modes for this monitor, and when i select the 1080 veritcal one it squashes it to the monitor size, because it automatically changes the display to 'display image to full size panel' instead of centered timings and leaves the option greyed out. I'm using Catalyst Control Center, what can i do to get a scrollable desktop once again?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDifferent Wallpaper Sizes On Screens With Diverse Resolutions
Dec 26, 2012So my laptop monitor is 1366*768 and my TV is 1920*1080. When I use the laptop screen alone, the wallpaper is stretched to the size of the laptop screen, but when I hook up the TV monitor and use the "Extend These Displays" function, the wallpaper on the TV is the same size as it is on the laptop (ie. it doesn't fill out the screen), but all of the black space around the wallpaper is still usable. How can I make it so that the wallpaper fills out both the laptop and TV screens with the Extended Display mode?

Sep 30, 2012I have a Dell Monitor model # 1908fwpt and we have used it as an external for a few laptops now, and on the last two hook-ups it has constant, non-flickering white horizontal lines across the screen. The only resolution that doesn't is 1280x1024 for some reason. I have changed the cables, used both VGA and DVI, and run the self-diagnostics and updated all drivers. I have chased this issue up and down and not been able to come up with a way to fix it. The monitor is not old, it hasn't been used very much, and I really don't want to replace it...
Since its done it on a few different computers I tend to think its not a driver issue, or a cable issue... And the one resolution it works on is all stretched out and flat.
Graphics Resolutions On Asus Radeon HD3850 X2 - Dual Link Display
Apr 17, 2012I know this is going to sound like a daft question but my father has a Radeon HD 3850 x2 from ASUS and it's a great card, but we're coming stuck about the actual display resolution of the card; it being a dual link I'm some what confused as to how you would go about calculating the actual maximum display resolution of the Dual Link ports to 2 SEPERATE monitors not to one! My father is planning on running two 22" at a display resolution of 1920x1080 at 60hz and the maximum display resolution of the Dual link ports is 2560x1600 at 85hz.. I'm not sure whether the card will run both at 1920x1080@60hz

Dec 9, 2009I'm thinking of having 3 monitors. Right now I have two, and my setup is so that the desktop scales across both so I can just drag a window from one screen to another.
If I put in a second video card and setup a 3rd monitor, will it scale on over one more time? I'm not sure how to set that up since I've never seen it in person before.
Any ideas on how that would work? I currently have an 8800GT that's got the two hooked into it, and I'm planning on getting some other cheap nVidia card just for the 3rd monitor. I just want to make sure it will scale on across to the 3rd monitor as well.
3D Monitors
Apr 14, 2009Has anyone here had experience with 3D monitors? I've just seen on Engadget that JVC are launching a 46" 3D HDTV for around $7,000.
I'm really excited for when true 3D content really takes off
I started a PhD on autostereoscopic monitors just a couple of years ago, which is a type of 3D display that doesn't need any glasses to view 3D images (but has some drawbacks compared to polarised displays, like the JVC one above).
Most nVidia graphics cards are capable of displaying many existing 3D games on a 3D monitor/TV without much extra configuration. So you could be playing Flight Sim, Team Fortress or other 3D games quite easily in true 3D
Admitedly, it's more novel than useful for many games - but flight sim is amazing in 3D. I'd love to have a setup like this in my living room!
