I am looking for a way to keep my center monitor in a 1:1 Scaling while using Eyefinity in order to keep it lined up and at the right Resolution with the other monitors.

This is the Setup I am working with. 23"x24"x23"
The Monitors are 1920x1080 - 1920x1200 - 1920x1080. I can set the Center Monitor to 1920x1080 and it lines up perfectly with the other monitors as it places the Black Bars at the top and bottom. I have to use (Maintain Aspect Ratio) in Image Scaling to do that, but as you all may know when you Group the monitors that option is not allowed and it reverts back to a fullscreen.
Bezel Correction lines up in the center of the monitors but as you go to the top and bottom they are off by quite a bit.

I have tried the settings on the monitor itself as well. 1:1, Wide Screen, and so on. None of them has helped.

Is there any way to keep or force the Center Monitor with its 1:1 aspect Ratio while using Eyefinity?

I have been looking all over for a way to do this. Everything I have tried so far has been a no go. Any suggestions would be Appreciated.

Oh before someone suggest. I know that I could try Portrait with all three since they have the same width but I was hoping not to as doesn't make it as wide as I want.

hum, i just tested this on a Asus Monitor. used the Monitors OSD to set "Maintain aspect ratio" and got Black bars! Though i have no idea if this works in Eyefinity or not. And it might not work with all manufacterers.

My OSD settings seem to not really do anything when hooked up to my PC. I think it has to do with me using the DVI connection. I remember when having my PS3 hooked up to it with an HDMI cable that the Widescreen, zoomed, and 1:1 worked there but with my computer it just seems to be the same when I switch the OSD settings. Maybe there is some sort of setting that I am overlooking in the AMD Control Center that is overriding the OSD commands.

If I do not find a way around this the Eyefinity will be useless for me until I can buy a third monitor that is the same size and Aspect Ratio. I do not think I can play any game with a resolution that is blurry in the main center screen.

It seems like a simple issue that would have come up when designing Eyefinity. Makes me wonder why they decided to make it this way. The only thing I can think of is the EDID. It would be nice if Eyefinity would allow us to size the View-able section across all monitors sort of like playing around with Over Scan. My image looks great with the Black Bars and out of Eyefinity it matches up perfectly with the other displays. It almost seems stupid to not try and find a way to make it work while in Eyefinity. Oh well. Not much more I can think of to try. Maybe I'll just have to give up on trying to find a way around it and give up on trying wide screen gaming. :(
