  1. Fine-Tuning Multiple Monitor Positions


    I've got 4 monitors in a 2x2 layout. The upper and lower left side monitors stack neatly - the bottom of the upper monitor sits directly atop the lower monitor. The right side monitors sit right up against the left side monitors.But for some reason, there is an 8 pixel gap between the upper right and lower right monitors. It's impossible to get rid of this in the tiny "Rearrange your displays" window:This isn't often an issue, except that moving the cursor from upper right to lower right monitor and vice versa often "hangs" right on the precipice --- I have to re-drag the cursor "forcibly

    :)

  2. Fine-tune the position of multiple displays relative to each other

    I have two monitors with different resolutions. One has a vertical resolution of 1080, the other of 1200. In the display settings, I can adjust their relative position towards one another. The problem is that this position snaps into place when the upper
    or lower borders of both displays are close to each other.

    This means I can't center the display with the smaller resolution. It always snaps to the top or bottom of the larger display. This doesn't match the physical position of my monitors though. Is there any way I can fine-tune this or turn off the automatic
    alignment? (PS: I use Windows 10 Home 64 Bit, but to my knowledge the problem exists in all Win10 versions),

  3. Fine-tune the position of multiple displays relative to each other

    Maybe this image helps illustrate the problem:

    This is the monitor alignment that can be reached via right-click on desktop --> "Display Settings". When one display is dragged too close to the upper or lower end of the other, it automatically aligns to the top or bottom of the other display. Sadly, this
    means that when the vertical resolutions are very similar, a centered alignment becomes impossible. It always snaps into place as shown above.

    When the vertical resolutions are different enough, such as 1920 x 1080 and 1440 x 768, this is not an issue. I've tested this with an older monitor. But the ones that I ultimately want to use have native resolutions of 1920 x 1080 and 1600 x 1200, and that's
    too similar for a centered alignment. There ought to be a way to disable the automatic alignment or maybe fine-tune the position via the cursor keys.

  4. Fine-Tuning Multiple Monitor Positions

    i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
    • How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?
    I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:
