Playback Monitor Positioning Error (Multiple Displays)

Report · Oct 11, 2017

Hi all! Searching to see if anyone can help me out here, I'm having a fairly annoying issue with CC.17 (2017.1.2) where my playback monitor is continuously positioned off-centre (and therefore cropped) -- either Premiere is interpreting the position of my monitor incorrectly or is being fed an incorrect position by the OS, either way it's totally beyond my technical know-how to fix and am looking for some help,

I've attached a screen grab of the issue as I see it (primary monitor in the centre with two smaller HD's left and right, the left hand monitor should be full-screen playback) also attaching the system display settings for all three monitors along with a system overview -- system is running dual GeForce GTX 1080 Ti's, Current Driver Version 385.41

Primary Display: Dell PQ2715Q

Secondary: 2x DELL U2414H

All connected by HDMI

Any help at all would be hugely appreciated,

Cian

@Paulo_Conceição I've made some Screenshots. My "method" is running on a Win11 Laptop. And @ used @R Neil Haugen's advice to set the scale on as similiar as possible. Or at least at the same scaling (25%, 50%, 100%) steps. For me this "trick" worked because my displays changed in the meantime. Now I am fortunate that I can use for of those:

1: 3.840 x 2.400 – Scale 200 %

2: 3.840 x 2.160 – Scale 200 %

3: 3.840 x 2.160 – Scale 200 %

4: 2.560 x 1.440 – Scale 200 %

I think the secret is that every display has the same scale. Maybe not. But I'm happy that it works for me. Hope it works for somebody else too!

It wouldn't be so bad if you just could use the old reference monitor linked to the program monitor as a workaround... but they removed it. That's exactly why this feature needs to work flawless no matter the monitor setup.

Having a second instance of the program monitor would be great (e.g. if want the program on another screen also, nut not fullscreen).
