Nvidia Surround problem with different sized displays (2x 24 1x 27)

I have 3 1080p monitors 2 of which are 24" and one 144hz 27" in the center. My issue is that both windows and Nvidia surround both view the monitors as being the same size, making it impossible to get the scaling perfect across all 3, anyone know how I could fix this?

Any help is greatly appreciated and I'd be happy to answer any questions :)

The monitors are PHYSICALLY different sizes though, so I'm a bit confused what your expectations are.

At BEST you would have to have black bars on the larger one so the viewable data would line up. Okay so far?

However, I don't think there is software to make that work easily.

*What is probably the BEST (update: best available option) you can do is use the center, larger one as the main monitor and the smaller ones as extended monitors. you can drag programs over to whichever monitor you wish to use.

(What you have already)

Other:
The refresh rate is also another issue. If you use a single, virtual display I think they have to run at the same refresh rate. I don't think it's an issue for an extended monitor situation though.

I'm not aware of any way this would work.

The monitors don't physically line up, so in theory the only way would be to have BLACK BARS at the top and bottom of the big monitor. However... if you did that then the ASPECT RATIO would no longer be 16x9 for the viewable area.

So...

AFAIK it's impossible.

It's not even that I'd want to use it in games, I was mainly interested in a way of getting the normal desktop to line up, do you still think that's impossible?. (Thanks for the quick response though:))
