One minor thing is that if they’re different vertical resolutions, your cursor may also “hitch” moving from screen to screen if you’re near the very top or bottom of the higher resolution screen moving to the other, as Windows tries to figure out how to go from, say, point 1920x1080 to 1921x721 cleanly. I then had to move the small monitor to another computer, and now, when the screen is back, I just can't seem to get them to different resolutions again. I seem to miss one option in the Nvidiasetup, the one where you choose (don't remember exactly) dual screen. Now I just find the horisontal, vertical and clone-option. Second, you need wallpapers in different resolutions if you have different monitor sizes. To perform the first task, via WinX menu, open Settings app, and then open System Display settings. Check the box, where it shows the display number. If you want to get the visual numbers, you can press the Identify button.
I have a customer who started up his Dell 9010 desktop PC today and noticed that the resolution on both monitors was not the same and that #1 and #2 were swapped. #1 is the primary to the left and #2 is the secondary located to the right.I checked display properties and found them swapped around. I swapped them back so they are now in the correct order in display properties but the resolution on #1 is not the same as #2 though the (Samsung S24D300) monitors are identical. Monitortype shown in display properties for #1 was incorrect as Generic PnP Monitor.I reinstalled the driver for the monitors to have them match in display properties. This did not change the resolution of #1 even though they both now showed as S24D300.
Then I uninstalled all monitor and video card drivers, rebooted, reinstalled thevideo card (ATI HD 7570) and monitor drivers. Tried selecting various monitor types within the driver. #2 always comes out with proper resolution but #1 will not change and is less than #2. Now it shows as 'Display device on MobilePC Display' in display properties even though this is a desktop PC. I'm unable to change this no matter what driver or driver setting is used.The video card driver I got from Dell and it's the latest they offer. The monitor driver I got from Samsung.I'm stumped at this point as to how to change #1 monitor so it is the same type and resolution as #2 which has always been correct.
I've looked up about the display type of 'Display device on Mobile PC Display' but have not found any fix to changeit to what it should be, the actual monitor type.Jonathan. Hi SmallBizAdmin,As these monitors are shown in device manager correctly, it would be caused by video card, drivers or hardware problem. You could try adjust resfresh rate to low level because some old video card might reduce the resolution automatically to keep work.
Alsothy using different export, DVI/VGA might be the reason why different resolutions occurs.RegardsD. WuThanks for the reply but nothing on the system has changed and the monitors were working fine showing identical layouts last week.
Dual Monitor Different Resolution Video
The system was purchased with the current video card. It is still under warranty so I'm going to engage Dell support towork on the issue. It may be that the card has gone bad and needs replacing.Jonathan.

Hello, I am posting regarding using dual monitors with windows 7.These are the specs for my work computer:2x Acer X193+Intel P4 2.8ghz2gb ram32 bit osNvidia Quadro NVS 55/280 PCI video cardThe issue I am having is that the monitors im using are exactly the same, yet windows 7 is telling me they have 2 different native resolutions. Which i know is not true. I reformated from XP pro which ran both at native resolution no problem. I have found that one runs at native (1680x1050) and the other doesn't have its native listed as an option. I have to run it at the recommended which is 1440x900, which is completely blurry and gives me a headache to look at.So far, I've tried unplugging them and replugging them, to no affect. I've tried a completely different set of monitors entirely yet windows 7 seems to have the same issue with those as well.
I have the latest drivers installed and have had the IT at owrk look at it to no prevail. I cannot find a reason as to why I can't run both my monitors at their appropriate and native resolutions. Seems to me this is a simple thing and windows 7 is making it difficult. Anyway i can force the one to run at a custom resolution without affecting the other?I'll keep reviewing this thread to answer anyone's questions to help with my problem.
