Post subject:  Vertical stacking of monitors?

Hi, first post here. Anyway, I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this, but I cannot seem to find it. I want to buy a dualhead2go to vertically stack 2 of my WUXGA monitors. I don't believe it natively supports vertical stacking, so I was wondering if someone who has one could try this out to help me. My idea is to rotate both monitors left 90 degrees (unsure if itll let you do this) then rotate BOTH right 90 degrees to have a vertical stack. It seems to me that you could use the graphics driver to make 1200x1920 available, then point the DH2go setup at it.

Many thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

It sounds like to me you want 1920(horizontal)x2400(vertical), one monitor 1920x1200 panel placed on top of the other?
Both panels in normal position, only stacked, correct?
I don't think DH2Go or TH2Go either one will do that. I believe they will only expand horizontal. Meaning two 1920x1200 panels will give you 3840(hor)x1200(ver).

If I am wrong, someone please correct me :wink:

your out of luck.
i have emailed matrox support, th2g does not allow monitors to be vertically stacked.

if you want vertically stack monitor set up (which i use), you can go the following routes.

SEAMLESS vertical stack (as in, no extended desk top)
a) on XP with NVIDIA card, use nView to allow Spanning, with a vertically stacked monitor set up.
b) on Win7/Vista, with ATi Card, use Eye-Finity to allow Custom Group, with a vertically stacked monitor setup.

LAME vertical stack (meaning, that the vertical stack is allowed to window's extended desktop)
on XP, Vista, Win7, just enable multimonitor support, orient your monitors in a vertical stack, but the secondary, and subsequent monitors require 'use this as extended desktop' checkbox to be mark.


SEAMLESS vertical stack is recommended.
i do some flight sims, and because i have a 'seamless' vertical stack, i can run games in full screen mode.... some games take a HUGE performance hit when used in windowed mode.. and a lot of times the 'LAME' vertical stack will NOT allow certain games to run in full screen....

i have an Ati card, and with Eye-Finity, i am able to run 2 monitors @ 1920x1080, for a vertically stack resolution of 1920x2160 (AWESOME)
