You might not notice it right away. If you pause the YouTube video at the 18-second mark and check the wall pattern, you’ll see the clue. Pause the video. Use your keyboard to move the playback one frame at a time. The right screen runs at normal speed, while the left operates at half speed. On the same file, the PLAYER displays on both screens—my right screen is 144Hz, the left is 60Hz in the NVDA control panel and Windows settings. This issue has persisted for years on my secondary monitors, especially with games. I’ve reinstalled Windows, swapped out graphics cards, adjusted drivers, but nothing works. The only fix seems to be setting my main screen to 60Hz. Is it really impossible to have a 144Hz display in multi-monitor mode?

Adjust the display to avoid stretching beyond the edges. This is typical since many users don’t configure video walls with just two monitors in incorrect settings.

I'm not using a video wall; I simply displayed the video across both screens for demonstration. The videos still lag on the secondary monitors even when playing back locally. I wasn't confused about span versus extend—it's not a desktop background. Also, I was wrong about the frames dropping inconsistently, even with both screens set to 60.
