  1. Need Help With Dual Monitors


    Hey! I just setup dual monitors using an old monitor I found, but there's a small problem. The old monitor I found is super long vertically, and the bottom of the screen is far below my eyeline.

    I thought a simple fix for this would be to change the resolution vertically, and just have it cutoff at the bottom. Problem is when I try to lower the vertical resolution it centers it so that there are black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, where I'd rather just have a big black bit at the bottom. Here's a photo I took that I drew a line on to demonstrate what part I want cut off: https://imgur.com/a/8xYQina

    Thanks in advance.
