I have two 1920x1080p monitors. One is kinda further away on a secondary desk though. I want to increase the display scaling on that monitor, so it's more readable from the distance I'm at. How can I do that without affecting my main monitor that is should just be set to 100% scaling (ie, no scaling)?

One of the new features in Windows 8.1 is the new "Desktop display scaling", which allows user to configure scaling per monitor. I've been trying to get this working in preview but with no success. If I configure the scaling, it always affects all of my monitors.  I have two monitors, the main one with a higher resolution and the secondary with "normal" resolution. The secondary monitor is used in portrait mode. I would like to configure the main monitor's scaling as the text is currently too small.  Here's how things look at the configuration screen by default:    Now if I adjust the scaling, click apply and do relogin, everything is bigger. On both of my monitors. I haven't clicked the "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays", but still the slider seems to affect both of them.  If I check the "Let me choose one scaling level", the UI changes to look similar to what we have in Windows 8:    Still the problem persists. The scaling is applied to both of my monitors. So, it doesn't matter if I check the box or not, the scaling is always applied to all the displays.  Any idea how I could get this to work in Windows 8.1? I've read some comments which seem to indicate that this should work, though  that he either didn't get this to work.

Currently the MacBook's display works as primary, so every application I open gets open on the 13" and I have to drag it to the 24". I also don't have access to the dock on my 24".  Is is possible to turn off the MacBook screen and use only the one attached via DVI?  (I've just connected my 24" HP LP2475w via Mini DisplayPort to DVI to my MacBook Pro 13", which works great except for this one thing.)

I have 3 monitors attached to my 8800GTS, which can only use 2 at a time. I use 3 different setups:   single screen (1) dual screen (1+2) single screen + TV out (1+3)   having to click screen resolution and select different screens etc is a bit of a pain, and to get round this I used to have an autohotkey script that opened up the NVIDIA control panel and select a different profile. However in W7, for some reason everytime I select a new profile it seems to mess up all the settings/not work at all.  I was wondering - does windows7 have any built in commands for selecting monitor 1+2, or 1+3 and just 1?   I'd love to have 3 shortcuts on my start menu like I used to!

I have a laptop and a 27 inch monitor. I have Qt running on one monitor and Pycharm on the other. Is there a way to make a key combination to swap all the windows between both screens. The reason is that I want to program on the big screen only. I have already 4 workspaces and all of them are already used.

I'm unsure as to what people prefer when it comes to HUDs, and scaling them. What would you say is the best practice when it comes to sizing the HUD? I'm thinking there's really two options: Scale up, or use the same area (in pixels) to display it on a higher resolution.  The problems I see with each are with scaling, I may have a huge blurry mess in the corner, but if I don't, it could be hard to see from a distance. Any guidance?

Wasn't even sure how do I google this. I am using the laptop screen (1366x768) and an external screen (1920x1080). Is there some way/setting to change the screen height at which the cursor goes to the smaller screen, so that you can move the cursor between the screens at any height? Because right now you can only drag the cursor from the larger screen to the laptop one at the middle of the screen, if you try it any higher or lower it "hit's a wall".   I am already using Actual Multiple Monitors, but I don't think it has this feature.  Windows 7 x64

I have scoured the Internet and come here as my last hope.  I currently have the Galaxy S4, M919v. I own two 24 inch Samsung monitors.  Is there any method for me to display my Android screen onto one of my monitors?  I want to basically play my Android games, using my Android phone, but have them displayed on my monitors. My 24 inch monitor has the same resolution as my phone, so I figure the graphics should be great.  I am trying to find a WIFI/micro-usb cable solution to this problem without buying any types of additional connectors.

Even my main monitor is shown as unknown. I have tried setting up dual monitors using Nvidia settings with no joy however it does recognize that I have 2 monitors.  This was not an issue in 11.04. My problem with the Nvidia settings appears to be that my 2 monitors require different resolutions but even when I set them to a resolution that they both can handle, it is then only appearing in cloned mode. I really hope someone can help or I will have to roll back to 11.04.  Why won't Ubuntu 11.10 recognize that I have 2 Monitors?

My screen has 1280 x 1024 resolution. But unfortunately, rightmost belt of 200 pixels is damaged and unable do display any image.  How can I set that the Xorg will treat my screen as 1080 x 1024 device?  Now I have tried:  Virtual 1080 1024 Viewport 0 0   It doesn't work right - image is scaled to fit vertically, and horizontally I can pan with the mouse.

On my secondary monitor (currently using Windows 10), my taskbar will barely show up. I've tried adjusting the resolution to lower ones (it recommends 1920x1080) and it doesn't do much. Is there a way to adjust the taskbar so I can see it?  That is about what I see. I could make it bigger via Snipping Tool and see my entire desktop on the picture but not normally.

There is an  feature in Windows 7. However, it seems to not work when dragging a window to the edge that is adjoined to the second monitor. How to make it work properly? Maybe some regedit modification or something?

I have dual monitors and I want to span my current window so that it appears as one giant window on both monitors. Does anyone know how to do this natively in Windows?

I recently switched to a new PC at work, one with two (identical, Dell 23") monitors. I'm running Linux Mint 15 64bit / Cinnamon. Is there a way to set it up in such a way that, instead of both monitors sharing the same huge workspace, they are on separate smaller ones? E.g. left monitor on workspace 1, right monitor on workspace 2, and I could switch either monitor to workspace 3 if needed?  Failing that, is there a way to duplicate the bottom panel onto the second monitor? Currently it is only displayed on the left one.

I've recently done a clean install of 17.04 on a machine with an Nvidia 750Ti card and a Dell 4K monitor. I'm using the Nvidia binary driver 381.09.  All this works great apart from the fact that the display scaling I set in the Ubuntu Screen Display settings always reverts back to 1 when the machine resumes after suspend. I need to set it at 1.5 otherwise everything goes tiny (BTW why doesn't Ubuntu scale to a sensible default with 4K monitors?)  Does anyone else get this? I can't find any mention of it elsewhere.  BTW I've tried the Nouveau driver and that doesn't wake up my screen at all after suspend. So that route's a non-starter.     Edit: Looks like it's been  Will monitor to see if anything happens.

I cannot get windows 7 pro to set my monitor to its native resolution of 2650x1440.  I have Windows 7 pro, an NVIDIA GT730 and two monitors(AOC e2752She, BenQ GW2765) attached to the NVidia card using the DVI ports using this cable: (). I originally only had the AOC with a native resolution of 1920x1080. Then I got the BenQ, but on setting it up Windows would only allow 1920x1080 for it. So I went into the Nvidia control panel and created a custom resolution 2560x1440 and set it to that. Superficially it looks like it did it as the background got small for it and the conrol panel/display/screen resolution setting SAYS 2650x1440, but the image is "soft", not crisp and when I look at the information panel on the display itself, the monitor says it is being driven at 1920x1080 and its recommended setting is 2650x1440, so I'm thinking that windows must be doing some emulation of 2560x1440 and not actually pushing it natively at 2560x1440. Even if I set the monitor to 1920x1080 the image is really "soft".  I want to use this monitor (gw2765) for graphic design and video editing, so I really need it to show it's true resolution. I have searched for quite a long time and have not found anything that seems to address this issue.  Any suggestions?    UPDATE -- I just tried disconnecting my lower resolution display and running with only the higher resolution display, logged off and back in. Still don't have the higher resolution options.  NEW Update -- since the monitor is connected via mini HDMI to HDMI cable the card has to support at least HDMI 1.3 and is not using a dvi adapter for this cable. So I am still stumped and stuck.  Any help is welcome.
