Just wait until I post the next mess. Maybe I'll try now.

When I had the 19" VX930 horizontally spanned with my 15" flat screen I
had to drag the top down, and the bottom up, on the 19" so my wide
screen would line up and it made a great wide screen display.

You can see I had to shrink the display on the 19" down to fit the 15"
monitor.

================================================

Then I got the 21" LCD monitor. Placing it beside the 19" CRT I found
there was no way to shrink the LCD. Even with the book I can't find a
way to do it. So I could use them as 2 displays, aircraft on the 21"
and the radios etc on the 19" CRT. Also I kept the message talking about
LCDs must be on the native resolution to have a clear picture which I
found 100% correct. With both monitors on their native res it looked
like this.

================================================

Then I spanned the monitors where I left the 21" LCD alone and shaped
the 19" CRT to fit and align with the LCD.

I used a resolution of: 3200 x 1024. But the text on the LCD was
blurry at that resolution.

=================================================

Then I changed the resolution to:

2560 x 960 and the LCD now looks fine. I think it could be better and if
someone can tell me what resolution to use I would be grateful.

==================================================

The 19" VX930 CRT Native Res = 1600x1200

The 21" LCD Native Res = 1680x1050

==================================================

So..... Gregory, or anyone, what does the spreadsheet say the
resolution that will create the widescreen horizontal spanned display
and keep the LCD screen crisp????
