I have a new Windows 7 system to which I want to connect two monitors. One is a 22" 16:9 format, and the other is a 19" 4:3 format. If I set the resolution for the 16:9 [COLOR=#0072bc !important][COLOR=#0072bc !important]HD[/COLOR][/COLOR], nothing but the 'theme' shows on the 4:3 because everything is off the edge of the monitor. My card has dual DVI inputs. Can my 4:3 monitor be somehow set to show the 16:9 content, or do I have to match aspect ratios.

4:3 = 1280 x 1024
16:9 = 1920 x 1080

Hello hooterdawg,

Welcome to Seven Forums.

You should be able to set resolution for each monitor in the Nvidia control panel.

Hope this helps.
