I am testing 12.04 because it has better multi monitor support but I was wondering do I need to have the same size/resolution for it to work correctly.

For example the first monitor is a 32' TV with 1920x1080 resolution. Do I need another one with the same inches, resolution or both the same for it to work correctly.

I have used multiple monitors for years on several platforms (debian, ubuntu, gentoo, and fedora) with both nvidia and ati. As long as the graphics card is compatible I have never had any major problem with using different resolutions for different monitors.

The minor problems are with background images that span more then one monitor, but now I typically set the background image with nitrogen, and as long as I do not span the image across multiple monitors, no problem.

Are you having a problem with 12.04 ?
