I have three monitors, one of which is a 27" 1980x1200 and two 23" 1980x1080. I want to use the surround feature to span games across all three monitors, but the middle one is bigger so it messes up the whole thing. Is there any program that turn the 1980x1200 into a 1980x1080 by using black bars on the top and bottom like the Benq monitors

Update1: Changing the resolution using windows, hides parts of the the desktops

Solution
1) Set resolution to 1920x1080

2) On the MONITOR don't use Aspect Ratio, rather use "1:1" ratio or similar setting.

*Doing both of the above should then produce black bars on top and bottom but physically give you a 1920x1080 pixels.

Alternative:
You can also try something similar in the Video Control Panel in case the above won't work. For NVidia it's at:

"Display-> Adjust Desktop Size and position"

a) Scale on "GPU" (instead of monitor), and

b) Use "No Scaling" mode.

*Not certain if either will work for Surround Mode though.

Update:
There's also an "override scaling method" option however i've never used that.
