Q: 2 monitors on the same PC with diff resolutions?
 
Is it possible to have two monitors connected to your PC running at different resolutions? It's an ATI 5750 graphics card.
I haven't got the second monitor yet, but thought about getting one of those TV/Monitors. The small ones only seem to be 'HD ready' (1366x768). My main monitor is set at the 1680x1050.

I am pretty sure you can, could have sworn i have seen the option for it when i used to run dual screens, although mine were both the same size.

If the graphics card can handle running two monitors then it should be able to do it at two different resolutions. My 17" iMac's main screen is 1440 x 900 and the second screen connected to it is 1280 x 1024, so I'd like to think a decent card would be able to handle at least that, so I'd say yours would do it without issue.

Thanks chaps :thumb:

No worries at all and have been able to for years! My old 6600GTS could cope with 1600x1200 and a 2nd @ 1280x1024 over DVI :)

Hi there your graphic card will run 2xLCD without problem,my friend have just HD5770 and run 1x22" and 32" without one issue.

Should be fine.

I run a 1920x1050 "22" and a 19" 1280x1024 together

Should be fine, but running different resolutions at different refresh rates is harder work for your GPU. This can induce some chopiness if you are viewing videos on one of the monitors. Win 7 has some specific issues with regards to this and a small registry hack is required to make things run right if you encounter the issue.

Issue happens to both NVidia and ATI cards, and the fix is the same.
