Ahh snap, well that makes it really hard!

Either shell out € 3.99 for Wallpaper Engine, that fixes the issue really nicely.

Or get a € 23 Windows 10 Home key like Paul did here

*Not sure if I can link directly to key-retailers thanks to their .. unfavorable status*

 

Personally I'd pick up Wallpaper Engine, since it doesn't sound like you need much more then a simple new wallpaper.

It is by far the cheapest & I use it because it looks "hella swag" that .. doesn't sound right.

 

If spending € isn't an option .. I guess you'll have to save up some & deal with the eye soar for now, sorry :( 

Drag the monitors into the positions you want them to be in.

Screen 1 and 3 are moniters and screen 2 is a tv, when i put screen 2 ubove screen 1 it does some weird stuff with my wallpaper but when i put it to the right of screen 3 it does not seem to affect it. I want to see if re numbering them will change it

No the number does literally nothing other than show you which is which.

The position is what changes everything.

I use a wallpaper manager for multi-monitor setups. Windows does a terrible job.

When i position the tv ( screen 2 ) above screen 2 it makes this weird overlap with my wallpaper as shown below. @Densetsu @Enderman

Are you using different wallpapers per screen or something?

Are you sure the wallpapers are the same resolution as your display?

Try moving the monitor positions in your GPU control panel instead of windows.

Use photoshop or something to resize and crop it to the correct resolution.

This is so true it hurts.

Windows ruins every decent looking wallpaper.

 

Wallpaper Manager is on sale now I think and I picked it up myself.

Looks fabulous imho especially if you start getting into GIF/Video wallpapers:

*3 Screens, all 1080P*

You might still need to edit the tv's wallpaper to 1680x1050 in order to have it work properly.

I dont edit so i have no idea what to do here. As long as i have the wallpaper across my 2 screens without any interference i honestly do not care what the wallpaper is for the tv. also could it be because the 3840 x 1080 is set as a wallpaper for all 3 screens be the cause. ( i just installed the tv today and am wondering how to get this all fixed )

First select the wallpaper you'd like to use.

Then right click it in the Settings app & click "Set for monitor X" making sure it is screen you wish to use this wallpaper on.

It'll then apply that setting only to the chosen screen allowing for it not to stretch/center/etc.

Choose a fit should be on Fill/Fit/Stretch. fill being the best, fit being okay, stretch looking .. stretched.

 

Maybe this helps :
