Align monitors like a BOSS - avoid edges - smooth mouse movement - tips and tricks.

Update 2: I also wanted to note if you click on a monitor and check the "main display" checkbox. This will make that monitor the primary screen. So for example if you launch a game, it will open on the main monitor.

Update 1: To rotate the monitors, click on the one you want 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. Then scroll down and select Display Orientation.

Super useful tips:
-Press Windows Key + P (think of it as project) to edit basic second monitor output.
-Remember you can drag the screens, 2, 1, 3 in any order or place you like.
-Pressing Windows Key + Left, Right, up, down, moves windows between monitors.

Say you have 1 Excel open on monitor 2. To move it to monitor 3 simple, make sure its selected and hit Windows keys + Right arrow, 2x to move to monitor 1, and 2 more times for monitor 3.

With this simple hotkey you can move windows around different screens super fast. Also merge windows.

if you want to align them perfectly stretch a window across all 3 monitors then adjust

Thank you! all these years, I didn't even know you could move the monitor displays in the setting. You just blew my mind!

[Chococarakuma]

You sir are a blessing. This is what youtube should be about, good tips and tricks to make day to day living to cope with. I have learnt something useful today. I am switching from a horizontal-horizontal dual screen setup to a horizontal-vertical setup and my mouse pointer is all over the place when I move it across both screens. So this tutorial really has helped me on how to be able to rectify the issue. Thank you.

I just setted a dual monitor setup, and the mouse transition wasn't aligned, I didn't pay much attention to it, and actually I was searching for a video for a way to make my monitors act more independently. But you said it, "you might think it's not a big deal but over time it can get really annoying" so I took my time experimenting with this monitor tranisiton aligment, and I noticed that a small change in the position of the squares makes a huge difference in the actual transition with the mouse. I nailed it down to perfect now. I thought this was not possible before, because I tired to play with this setting as well, not undestanding the extreme sensitivity of it, this was the key for me. Thanks of this video :)

THIS was the BEST, most CLEAR explanation - and the only one that worked for me. THANK YOU!

I had it so off for like 2-3 years and and there was an invisible barrier at the quarter of the top and the mouse would move so far down when i went to the other monitor, now its perfect:)

[NelsonStJames]

Man, I had no idea this this was a thing. Also you helped me to figure out how to arrange my multi-monitor set up so that my mouse went from left to right across all three monitors in the order I had my monitors arranged, when I was just about to give up.

This is 2 years old but I have to add, you can hold ctrl and drag the screens on that menu without it snapping - Very good if you want to just move them pixels at a time.

It's crazy how "tech savy" they say people are these days but 99% dont even know the basics.
