Been playing about with this recently, I have two Benq 24" monitors, both 75hz, 1080p, I can configure surround to span over both screens but can't get it to behave with three, after a lot of faff I can get the control panel app to accept three screens, but, my third is only 1280x1024 @60hz, if I set the two Benq's to the sane resolution and refresh rate, control panel will accept it and allow me to enable surround, but I then just get three blank screens.
I'm assuming this is because the third monitor isn't native 1080p (even though the other two are set to its lower refresh rate and resolution for the purpose of this experiment) the two Benq's are in my "top" 580, the other in the bottom one.
I'm after a third Benq 24" which I'm sure will sort this out but am a little wary that I'm missing something and may well get the same result once all three Benq's are hooked up, which I don't want.
All three monitors work fine with all displays enabled under control panel (but SLI and surround disabled) but I can only get the two to behave under surround.
In short, is it because my 3rd monitor isn't the same even though I've set up the two Benq's to its lower refresh rate and resolution? I'm guessing even though the control panel accepts this configuration, in practice it doesn't like it?
Cheers.
