    Wallpapers spanned over multiple monitors with different resolutions do not scale properly


    I have a 1440p and 1080p monitor, when I set a wallpaper to span across both of them the image on the 1080p monitor is slightly smaller than it should be, causing a mismatch. Is there a solution to this that doesnt include using display fusion?

    EDIT: This isnt just an issue with wallpapers, but any window that spans across the two screens is smaller on the 1080p screen

    Using different folders of wallpapers for different Slideshow on each monitors

    Hi,

    You can set different wallpapers for multiple monitors without having to install a third-party software. To do this, you can follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the empty area of desktop and then click Personalize.
    • Under Choose your picture section, right-click on a picture which you want to set as a desktop background for one of your monitors. You will see a context menu, and you can select which monitor to use.
    • You can also use the Browse button to browse to the picture you want to set as a wallpaper. Click
      Choose picture to add it to the Choose your picture section, and press right-click on the picture.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Wallpapers spanned over multiple monitors with different resolutions do not scale properly

    Desktop Wallpaper Over Spanned Monitor

    I've downloaded and installed some beautiful themes from Windows Store with some very nice wallpapers. My primary display has a resolution of 5760x1080, three 23" monitors brought together using Nvidia's Surround Feature.

    The wallpapers span across the three monitors but the images are grossly enlarged and do not show fully on the display. Most of the pictures are cropped.

    Is there a way, a setting perhaps, that will allow me to adjust the wallpaper to a size that I can enjoy the full poicture?
