Topic: 2 monitors, different sizes Posted: 12 Sep 2013 at 5:01am |
Has anyone had any issues running two monitors that are different sizes? I'm not looking to span my games until I can get 3 identical monitors, but my ADD is forcing me to get another monitor for streaming and youtubing, and browsing while loading, or between matches without having to alt tab out. |

I have a 30" and 24" and have no problems. Gaming is all done on the primary 30" and the 24" is used for manuals and other assorted uses.

You should have no problems running multiple monitors that are different sizes. The only time having the same size displays matter is when gaming across displays as it is really seeing them as 1 display. I have triple 192x1080 and in the settings it thinks I have a 5760x1080 display (actually it's a little wider to make up for the gap between monitors).

You'll have no issues with those tasks.

I feel repetitive at this point, but you can do it. I've ran two 30" monitors and 1 24" monitor. The 24" is my 1080p for netflix/facebook. Not going to lie and say it's for anything else.
