Dual (indentical) Monitors, Different Resolution?
Hello, I am posting regarding using dual monitors with windows 7.
These are the specs for my work computer:
2x Acer X193+
Intel P4 2.8ghz
2gb ram
32 bit os
Nvidia Quadro NVS 55/280 PCI video card
The 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.
