Hey folks, I've recently got my hands on two 19" Widescreen Dell monitors. I've bought Vesa mounts and have mounted them at either side of my main display in portrait. My main display is a 32" Television at 1920x1080. I can't seem to find a resolution for the portrait monitors so they are properly aligned with my main display, there is always a lip at the top and bottom where the pointer catches between displays if that makes sense. I know how to create custom resolutions so was wondering is there a way to work out what resolution I need my secondary displays to be outputting? I was under the impression it would have been as easy as making the portrait resolutions 1080x600 or something along them lines.

It would appear 680x1080 is pretty much perfect but obviously that's too low a resolution for anything to look great. Is there a way to run the portrait monitors at 1360x2160 and then downscale them to size? Only way I can think of this working. Either that or getting a 4k main display haha
