Monitor Size in Display Extending

[Graporb13]

Hello, I've gotten myself a cool new monitor, and when trying to move my mouse between displays, the computer seems to thing my old monitor screen is smaller than it really is.

This offsets my mouse going over screens near the top and bottom, and my cursor cannot go to the old monitor on the very top and bottom where the computer thinks it doesn't exist. I've included a quick drawing of the setup (the dotted screen is where windows seems to think the screen is). When putting a window between screens, the window is noticeably larger on the old monitor as well. It's very hard to look for on google because they all talk about application scaling.

Thanks, Graporb13

are the screens physically different in size?
have you tried adjusting the resolutions on both to try and get them as close to equal as possible?

The new screen on the left is a few inches bigger than the one on the left, and no matter how much i fiddle with resolutions, windows still thinks the monitor in the right is smaller than it actually is. It might just be that the old one is cheaper and screen extending wasn't in mind when designing it (as in maybe the pixels are further apart or something).

check for updates to the video card driver, you might get lucky.
but in my experience, when extending the desktop over dual heads of different dimensions, you get what you are seeing. (the mouse not moving fluidly over the borders)
