    Posted: 02 Dec 2010 at 5:27pm
I just got my new rig yesterday and I have 3 Acer GD235HZ LCD's set-up using nVidia's 3D Surround Vision.
 
I have configured the monitors to spead the desktop across all 3 displays. My question is this.
 
How can I get windows to maximize to only one display?
 
As of right now when I maximize a window, Firefox for example, it maximizes the window across all 3 screens which stretches the windows too far. This forces me to manually re-size the window to fit in one display.
 
Thanks for any insight.

i dont think that will happen, the idea of 3d surroud is treating all of the pixels as 1 display

Thank you for the reply

So I basically will be stuck with re-sizing windows until an update is made...

Unless anybody here using Surround Vision has any tips or tricks?

Surround Vision and Eyefinity make 3 physical displays act as one wide logical display. So as far as Windows knows, your triple display is one big monitor. It has no way of knowing that it should only maximize a window to 1/3 of your monitor size.

Now perhaps nVidia has a driver feature that can hack around this... I believe surround vision is relatively new, so perhaps nVidia hasn't gotten around to implementing it yet. Check if AMD's Eyefinity supports what you'd like. If not, it may not be possible in the Windows display architecture, in which case you won't need to wait for nVidia to put this feature into their drivers.
