First of all, what is the max resolution of the 19". Is it 1280x800? Because I have never seen a 1920x1200 19"

If it is 1280x800 then it is the same resolution as your notebook and you will get the same overlap. Your only recourse is to buy a different monitor.

Some 19" have a res of 1680 x 1050. This would be better because you put two tables side by side, but if you used 4 you would still have a vertical overlap. (the tables are about 800x600)

If you want 4 tables no overlap you need a 20" 1600x1200, or a 24"+ 1920x1200. Dell do nice ones of both.

If you have really got a 1920x1200 19" then you are probably outputting to it in the wrong way

You should be using 'extended dekstop' mode, not dual clone display.

Dont use windows preferences manage this, use the software that comes with your graphics chip (nvidia/ati/intel)

you said it wasnt working as the primary monitor but you did not say how.

Im not sure what graphics chip you're using, mine is Intel, and yours probably is not, so I can't tell you exactly what to do, but it's soemthing like this.

also have a look at the monitor FAQ in this forum.
