MadMan-JaMeS · 6 Apr 2011 at 12:14

Hey Guys,

I just brought a Samsung P2450H.

Now i am thinking of using that and my old Samsung 2033SW together but ovbiously they are different resolutions.

it is possible to have them running at there own max resolutions from the same Gfx Card ?

Thanks

Yes, it is. I use MultiMon to help manage the different resolutions:

is it any good and easy to setup ?

Its very good and very easy to setup. Plug your monitors in, install MultiMon, setup your resolutions and that's it.

Windows quite happily does all this for you.

What you get with most multi-monitor programs is a task bar on each monitor, instead of just the primary one - and the ability to have differing wallpapers on each screen

Each multi-monitor program has it's own extras (and price!) - but for the basics, Windows does what is needed natively

p.s. I personally use UltraMon for the multi-monitor wallpaper, taskbar per monitor and separate wallpapers

The free version of DisplayFusion will let you have different wallpapers on each monitor (at different resolutions) if you don't need a taskbar across them both.

I just use windows to setup the displays, with the task bar on my main.

right-click the system tray icon and choose Wallpaper
A window should appear showing the two different screens
Create a New Profile
Delect s different background/image for each monitor
Select screen, choose wallpaper
Click Ok/Apply
