Two Monitors different resolutions?

[Sir Asvald]

I got a 1080p and a 900p monitor. I was wondering if I could make them into one. ? is it possible?

....turning 2 monitors into one...?

 

I don't get the question.

 

If you are asking whether you can use them on the same computer, absolutely, as long as the computer has 2 video outputs...

sort answer is no you can't

[Wolther]

Yeah? If you mean make them to share the same screen like in a multi monitor setup. You just have to set all the monitors to the lowest res in the bundle. So meaning they both have to be 900p monitors.

You can easily extend your desktop across them and spread your windows out, I'd use the smaller one for music/youtube/twitch while gaming on the larger one. I use a 32" for gaming and a little 17" for media on the side and I love the setup.

If you're asking about gaming across both monitors, no you can't.

Have a game displayed across two monitors 

Not entirely sure what he was asking fully anyways

No gaming. Only on one Monitor. 

 

This is the settings:

Do you want them to display the same picture? (mirrored) in that case you will need to set the 1080p one to use 900p as the resolution.

 

If you want them to display different things (extended) then use the native resolution for each panel as the 1080p one will look like crap most likely displaying a lower than native resolution.

Nah, it'll happen automatically, or it'll just send out 1080p and the lower res monitor will downsample.

You didn't answer my question though, are you trying to mirror or extend them?

 

Sending 1080 to the 900p monitor will also not look good. With LCD panels, you always want to run it at the native resolution for best visuals in windows. Gaming and supersample are a different topic altogether.

I tried eye-infinity Look crap! LOL

That is exactly what supersampling does.

I'm confused about what exactly you are referring to in relation to the original question and the point I'm trying to get across.

 

The reason I said it's a different topic is because supersampling your DESKTOP tends to look like crap because text doesn't respond well to supersampling, so I don't recommend doing that. Supersampling games CAN look massively better. But, that is not the topic of this thread.

 

What I'm trying to figure out is that OP is actually trying to achieve. (mirror or extend)

On your desktop, you always want to use native. Unless you have some sort of specialized application requiring you to super-sample (I really cant think of anything that would require this, but hypothetically speaking)

Yeah this thread has gone on far too long for us to not even know what exactly OP wants.

No gaming. Only on one Monitor. 

 

This is the settings:

 

If you mean you want them to be the same resolution, click "Advanced display settings" at the bottom and change the larger one down to 1600×900.
