    So I have 2 monitors and I know NOTHING about them.....
    The first once is a DELL monitor and it sucks because as you can see here it does not show my whole minecraft:

    And on my second Monitor 'SANYO' it shows all the screen but it feels like it lags. It feels delayed:

    So What do I need to do to get a new monitor that works. My second monitor is fine just feels delayed.

    Hi Ayg,

    What are the model numbers of the monitors and what are their resolution(s) (if you know what they are, usually they are on the back).

    For the second monitor, it might have a high response-time. The lower the response-time the better. Most monitors nowadays have a response-time of around 5ms. 5ms is good for gaming. A high response-time might be causing the 'delayed response'.

    For the first monitor, I'm not too sure what you are on about. Either the size of the monitor isn't very big, or the resolution is set incorrectly. You can change the resolution in Windows under Control Panel -> Display -> Adjust Resolution.

    If you are going to get a new monitor you probably will want a monitor that is HD (1920 x 1080) and has a response time of around 5ms (remember the lower the better). Of course the size is your preference, although smaller sizes might not have the HD resolution.

    Another thing, what graphics card do you have? You're getting quite a high fps from the screenshots so obviously that's probably not the issue but I'm just curious to know :D

    - Dan.

    Did you build your PC? Or buy pre-built? You should be able to find it in device manager in windows.

    Though you might not even have one, most CPUs have a GPU built into them (but these generally aren't great).

    If you can't find device manager, you could download Speccy (Google it) and find out using that.

    If you get a new monitor you want one with a small Miler second delay

    With the first one, maybe the resolution is off..
    Assuming you have Windows, right click at your desktop and click "Screen Resolution."
    Then, for the second drop-down menu (Resolution) click it and move the slider to the very top option.

    The second one I don't know.. Maybe there is a loose wire?
