Key notes
Dual monitor setups are great if you need more screen space to work with, but many users are wondering how to set up dual monitors with different resolutions.
This is actually pretty simple to do, and it requires minimal configuration, so in this article, we’ll show you how to set different resolutions on dual monitors on Windows 10.
How to setup dual monitors with different resolutions windows 10?
1. Change the resolution from the Settings app
After doing that, your dual monitor setup will use different resolutions for each monitor. Windows selects the optimal resolution for each monitor by default, but you can adjust that with ease.
In most cases, it’s best to use the same resolution because it feels more natural, but if that doesn’t work for you, changing the resolution shouldn’t be a problem.
2. Change settings from graphics configuration software
We described how to do this in Catalyst Control Center, but if you’re using Nvidia graphics, the process is more or less the same in Nvidia Control Panel.
Having dual monitors with different resolutions isn’t a problem in Windows 10 because Windows detects them and configures them automatically.
However, if you want to use different resolutions for your dual monitor setup, you can change them easily from the Settings app or from the graphics configuration software.
