    2nd Monitor won’t go Full Screen in Avid

    Posted by Trevor Ambrose on July 24, 2015 at 10:50 pm

    Hey folks,

    For some reason, my second monitor won’t go full screen. I cut with only two monitors ie. left monitor is for bins and timeline ect. and right is Full Screen video – I don’t use a 3rd client monitor.

    It’s a bit intermittent i.e.. shutting down sometimes helps. But most of the time it just won’t work.

    Is this a video card thing?

    Any insight would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    here are my specs:
    Processor 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
    Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F1096)

    MC 7.0.4.3

    Are you at 1920×1080 ? Also, have you tried different versions of the Nvidea web driver?

    You know the GT120 and 6GB of memory is real marginal?

    Good Fortune,
    Robert
