  1. Physical monitor dimensions smaller or bigger than what's detected


    Hello, I have a laptop connected to an ultra wide monitor utilizing it as a dual monitor set up. Under display settings the physical height dimensions of the monitors detected are the same the only difference is the length one is longer than the other. It's a minor inconvenience but its enough to bother me seeing my cursor bounce from one spot to another going across my 2 screens and stretched out wallpapers don't fit correctly appearing uneven. Is there any way I can fix this? Here are a few pictures to understand exactly what I mean. Thank you.

    :)

    Yes, that last image is how I have them arranged, but the biggest and topmost is a 40 inch while the bottom two are 20 inch. in actuality, the top one is the width as the bottom two side by side. But it sets them all as the same size.

    Monitor: Physical size VS resolution issue

    No.

    Windows has no provision for considering physical dimensions of monitors. You just have to make the best adjustment you can.
