*Subject:* Re: Dual screen
I run dual screen on my laptop. If memory serves; 3 things may have an
impact. First set your new monitor to 1600 x 1200 and see if it clears up,
The old monitor has alway been working fine in 1600 x 1200 (4:3)
I seem to remember something about the ratio having an affect on
resolution 1.33:1 vs 1.5:1 respectively for your monitors. If this is the
case then the resolutions might need/want to match. The other is in the
monitor menu itself. I don't recall what but I do recall some monitors have
settings which affect resolution. Finally, it may just be the quality of
the monitors, something beyond your control. I have seen both, good
picture quality monitor designed for graphic work and color matching and a
$100 special used more for just cli use in administration trying to be the
former. This is affected from the pixel-per-inch count from the
manufacturer vs. dots-per-inch resolution in software for which there is a
difference, though usually invisible to us. Gnome has a tweak tool for
high resolution, gnome-tweak-tool from yum. This article may help:

linuxs-desktop-look-good-on-high-resolution-displays.html
Changing the windows scaling, works, but it just change the scaling, ie,
makes every things bigger.
Actually, I also have a laptop in 1920 x 1080, and the view is sharp.
It seems that running a 1600x1200 and a 1920x1080 monitor is not very
compatible for the 1920x1080 (or
second screen).

My set up is a split resolution same as yours. Mostly I did
adjustments.
It's a bit of task, not bad, but once you have your
resolution the way you like then adjust software settings, i.e. larger
fonts etc etc. Most software I think is geared toward 1280 x 800 older
monitors maybe geared to the newer default 1600 x 1200; so some adjustments
are necessary to make it look right in the higher resolutions. Worth the
time I think. my second monitor is a 35" tv on hdmi. That is a lot of
real estate so took a little work and it has been worth it.
