Duel Monitor Setup

Oma-Lan-DP · 18 Sep 2006 at 00:20

I have a dell 24" widescreen & a Viewsonic 19" VP 912s both conected to an X1800XTX (games & tv computer), the dell is also connected to my work computer (x800xt).

Both are connected through Dvi.

The viewsonic runs at 1280x1024 & the dell at 1900x1200,

Now, can i set them up so that i can view both at the same time at their optium res 1280x1024 & 1900x1200.

At the minute when i have both on they are BOTH at 1280x1024.

Can both be set up through the ccc ati program.

Should not be a problem.

I can run seperate resolutions on my 17 and 26. 1280x1024 and 1368x768 respectively.

Do i need to set the monitors in the ati control centre ?

Probably simple but i cant seen to be able to do it ?

If you are using multimonitors take the time to get and install UltraMon .. makes dual screening a whole lot easier. Even alows you disable 2ndary monitors on the fly. Useful when gaming or when you just dont need the 2nd screen. Does a whole lot of other stuff including allowing you set two different resolutions without any hassle.

Dont forget if its set to "clone" you wont be able to change the monitors to diff res, you need it to be set to "dual view" - not sure where it is in the ATi options but its under "nView display settings" for me.
