Is there a program to allow a dual monitor wallpaper to go across two different sized monitors?

I am aware that the span image works with same sized monitors but with two different sizes, it makes the scaling really poor. It leaves area on the left of the left monitor and on all sides of the right monitor. It also doesn't split the wallpaper right in the middle, it should split around the right side of the "1".

Go the "adjustments" tab and see if anything there helps.

I have a dual monitor setup with a 24" 1920x1080 and a 27" 2560x1440. I am wondering if there is a program that allows me to use a 3840x1080 that splits in the middle and is just upscaled for the 27" monitor. I would assume that windows can't do this since they are terrible with multiple monitors and I couldn't find any information elsewhere. I am currently using DisplayFusion to make a 1920x1080 image be put on both monitors and is just upscaled for the larger monitor. The program also allows me to do a slideshow of about 10 pictures. I doubt there will be a program that can do this, but I might as well ask in case there are others that have found something for this. Thanks.

DisplayFusion has an option to span an image across monitors.

I gotta give a shoutout to the DF devs; they're very quick to respond to emails with questions or bugs (at least back when I daily drove it).

I am aware that the span image works with same sized monitors but with two different sizes, it makes the scaling really poor. It leaves area on the left of the left monitor and on all sides of the right monitor. It also doesn't split the wallpaper right in the middle, it should split around the right side of the "1".

Go the "adjustments" tab and see if anything there helps.

I somehow entirely missed that tab. Took a while to get it looking correct but that was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
