i am setting up a touchscreen configuration inspired by Russ Barlow. i bought a couple of the Prechen touchscreen monitors, which appear in windows desktop configuration, and Nvidia control panel as 1080p.
when i create a panel in Air Manager 3.5, the monitors are listed as 1600x900. if i make a 1920x1080 panel, it is too big for the monitor.
can someone please explain?
thanks,
Dan
panel size vs monitor resolution
Re: panel size vs monitor resolution
It’s too big because your monitors can not display 1920x1080. You may or may not of noticed that they are both 16:9 aspect ratios so all you need to do is scale it down in the panel setting to 1600x900. Simple.

Re: panel size vs monitor resolution
I guess this is yet another case of not having Windows scaling at 100%. Also please note that version 3.5 is very very old.
Re: panel size vs monitor resolution
thanks for the reply. it makes total sense.
except...
i changed each of the displays to 100% scaling, and now AM says my displays are 2400x1350. lol.
i guess it doesn't really matter; purely academic. everything works fine when AM thinks they are 1600x900 displays.

Re: panel size vs monitor resolution
Out of interest, as the company produces various displays, what is the NATIVE resolution of your LCD panels- please not - native res is the res of the panel itself, not what it can be fudged to display.

Re: panel size vs monitor resolution
It's the size that is being returned by Windows. Sometimes when you have tools from for example Nvidia running, the sizes show strange values.
Re: panel size vs monitor resolution
4,0 release - I have the same problem. Mine does not display fine. It's to big or so small.
Re: panel size vs monitor resolution
I removed nvidia util - Air manager now reports the monitor res correctly.
( I moved all 3 monitors back to 100% sizing. (I had one at 125
I rebooted and though the numbers of the res look correct now, the display is totally wrong. I removed all panels, loaded in my Cessna 172SP in FS2020 and no good it's a mess.

Re: panel size vs monitor resolution
And why is AM the only program I can't pin to my task bar for quick access?
Re: panel size vs monitor resolution
Not sure, I can pin to my task bar with no issues .... are you sure you are not trying to 'pin' a second icon to the taskbar for the same link ?
