Hello, I am wondering if I can dual monitor with 2 different screen sizes/screen ratios.
I currently use a 24" 16:9 widescreen monitor. I am a gamer, and find myself alt tabbing a lot to change my music, IM people, change vent/teamspeak channels or servers, look up things about my games online, etc, etc, etc.
I recently acquired a monitor from my mom after she upgraded, I was just going to stash it as a spare or something, but then I thought "maybe I can hook it up as a 2nd monitor on my setup". It is an LCD monitor, but it uses the 4:3 ratio, so it is more square than rectangle.
Is it possible for me to hook it up to my PC as a 2nd screen, and configure it so that I can have a game playing on my main screen, but use the 2nd screen to keep web pages and the like on? Even if it doesn't work like that and I still have to alt tab out for games, it would still be nice to have a separate screen on to keep some of the program windows I keep running regularly on to keep the clutter off my main desktop.
My rig has a Radeon HD 7950 with 2 dvi outputs (one currently being used by my monitor) but I also have a DVI/VGA adapter I can use to hook up the 2nd monitor. Can this work?
