monitor 2 monitors with different resolution

[q_b0hm]

hey guys,

 

is there any problem using 2 monitors next to each other with different resolution? 

e.g. gigabyte g27qc (1440p) and g27fc (1080p) 

thanks

Here's what they would look like side by side (not drawn to scale). Is this an issue? No. But if you try to move your mouse from monitor 1 to monitor 2 via the top right corner of monitor 1 (for example) you'd be unable to do so. You would have to move the mouse down and to the right. Not a big deal.

No, been using 1440p next to 1200p for a long time now. So not only a different resolution but also a different aspect ratio.

I figured something like that would exist. This will come in handy for me in the near future. Thanks for sharing!

You can adjust scaling on just one monitor, so yes.

It's a bit annoying at first but if you have good hand eye coordination you won't have an issue with the mouse stuff after using it like that a bit, and yes to your scaling question. If you are running Windows 10 you can adjust the scaling on each monitor independently of each other.

thanks for the help, do you think the gigabytes are solid monitors for the money or any other recommendations?

Unfortunately I'm not the guy to ask on that one. My knowledge is limited when it comes to monitor quality.
