Why is the resolution so bad on my second monitor?
Change the screen resolution. If the second monitor shows an image, but the image is blurry, pixelated, distorted, discolored, or a duplicate of the primary display, check the computer’s display settings. If the frame rate or resolution is incorrect, the fix can be found in the same place.
Can I use two different resolution monitors?
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.
Should dual monitors be the same?
The two monitors do not need to be from the same manufacturer, to use the same connection type, to be the same size or display the same resolution: Any two screens should work. The second monitor doesn’t have to be a computer monitor either; HDTVs and computers widely support the HDMI connection standard.
Is it bad if two monitors have the same resolution?
If both displays are the same size, this isn’t a problem. If one of them has a higher resolution than the other, it is a problem. Unless you fix the resolution set for both monitors, one will always look bad.
