Anyone else running two of these in multimonitor? I've noticed that no matter how I calibrate the touchscreens, the touch registers only on the primary monitor. I've done the multimonitor setup through the tool they give, selected which touchscreen goes with which monitor, and calibrated each with the tools but no luck. It still registers the touch as being on the primary monitor, even if I have a non-touchscreen set to the primary.

I had the same problem, but after fooling around with the zillion settings in the monitor and the settings in the NVidia control panel, I finally got it to work right. Bad news, made so many setting adjustments that I don't know exactly what I did to fix it. I know I did have to uninstall the Touch software and reinstall it after both monitors were connected, I had tried it with just one monitor at first. There are setting that "lock" the control buttons in the Monitor setup control panel (the software for the monitor not the GPU software). Be sure all the controls are unlocked. I had a very difficult time getting the color/brightness settings the same for both monitors. The same settings did not produce the exact screen results on my 2 monitors and required a lot of messing with them.

*** Think I remembered what I had to do to get both monitors to do touch correctly. You must assign a separate controller id # to each monitor in the control panel. Carefully read the manual on how to do this. It is not really very well stated, but you must have the controller Id # ending in different numbers, as a 1 and 2. The default seems to be USB00000000000 (perhaps not the right number of zeros). I don't know if the zeros are necessary, but I just added a 1 and a 2 to the existing controller ID's. Hope this helps......

I got a dual monitor stand from Amazon. It was listed to support 23 lbs. for each monitor and mine weight a pound more than that but I figured there was probably a safety margin built in also. When I got the stand an instruction sheet included said 6kg for each monitor. That's only 13.2 lbs. I decided to try it anyway as the arms looked pretty massive and it worked fine. It is rock solid holding the 48+lbs of monitors. I don't know where they got that 13lb number from, perhaps wrong instruction sheet. This thing is hefty, to say the least.

The mount is a MonMount brand and prices seem to vary for $100+ to only $43.98 at A. It is Prime shippable also.

The monitors are certainly sharp, but I haven't really found the dual setup especially useful, as yet anyway.

Just got my stand in today, so I finally hooked up the monitor. It's a regular 2409wuxi (not v2) with 14500 hrs on it.

No stuck pixels, but there is a very small section of discoloration at the very bottom-left corner. It's noticeable with certain colors in the background, but I don't see it bothering me. I need to calibrate it though. I haven't tried the touchscreen yet, but I will probably try to remove it after playing with it for a few weeks/months.

I retried now with both monitors plugged in and then went through the calibration and multimonitor setup. The monitors are assigned different controller ids, and when I go through the multiple monitor tool, it shows the correct border around the monitors as I touch each one. However, I still see the little circle that appears when you touch the screen show up on whatever is set as the primary monitor whenever I touch the secondary one. When I do a calibration on the secondary, it registers each touch, but when I try to do the drawing test (to confirm the calibration), it doesn't register the touches as being on that secondary screen either. It just shows as if I'm touching the primary monitor, even if I have the primary set to my non-touch monitor. :hmm:

One question, during the driver setup, which of the three install options did you choose? The options are:

1. Touch digitizer users Windows' built-in touch functionality (what I chose)
2. HID mouse uses Windows' traditional mouse interface
3. Legacy mouse uses older MicroTouch drivers

(Note: I have a 3 monitor setup with, from left to right, NEC <-> Dell U2412 (nontouch) <-> NEC attached to an ATI 6850 running Windows 8)

I wa-wa-want one, no two four of these.

I played around with this monitor again, sitting next to my new 21.5" HP. Couple thoughts.

1) The picture had a sickly tinge of yellow. I fixed it by going into the OSD settings. The color temperature was set to something odd, and I put it on "N = normal" and it looked a lot better.

2) It may have an accelerometer in it. The stand I use can rotate so I rotated it to portrait. I got an OSD message stating something like "portrait mode detected, reducing contrast." Huh?
