Title: 3 moniter set up
Post by: 1Cane on October 01, 2022, 12:39:03 PM

I currently have 3 monitor system one of the screens has gone out, if I replace it with curved monitor and use it as primary will the other 2 work in the old set up :banana: :banana:
All monitors would be same size.

If the resolution is similar in all three there should be no issues.

Different resolutions can also be used and work well for some apps, maybe not optimal for triple full screen gaming.

The curved monitor has arrived and works great. I'm having trouble getting the three monitors to work. One monitor has changed its resolution from 1920x 1080 to 1600x1200 and I can't get the set up to be 5760 by 1080. Is there a way to get the monitor resolution back to 1920 or is this possibly the video card problem? :bhead

What is the monitors native resolution? Some monitors do not function well when they are not run at their native resolution.

You should be able to set each monitor's resolution independently in Windows. Using the native resolution there is preferable. Then in game you can use the combined resolution.

They all have the same resolution that way it was so baffling one suddenly had a different resolution. I kept swapping cables and monitors around until it finally worked. I don't think I'm ready to become a computer tech yet! Thank you for your input :x

Glad you got it working.

I'm curious, are they all connected the same way ie. display port, hdmi, etc. or are they a mix? Also are the advertised refresh rates the same on all three monitors?

I have 2 mini DVI and one VGA connection. The final solution was the VGA plug had to be practically watertight to work correctly. Thank you for your help :airplane:
