  2. 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:

    [Applies to Windows 10 as well]

    Regards.

  3. 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" to get it to make the transition from one screen to the other. There are other occasional indications that there's a gap there in the overall "monitor map"... but I've found no way to "scoot" the monitor position pixel by pixel.

    I've found several historical posts on this... none of them have any helpful information. Update your drivers; contact the GPU manufacturer; change your monitor's display settings -- nobody responding really has an understanding of the issue here. This is a position issue inside Windows, and there is no way to reliably move a monitor's relative position 8 pixels north.

    Really... there has to be a way mere mortals can fine-tune the monitor positions. Anyone solve this?
