Two monitors. Windows positions differently.

MacOS Monterey, two monitors from different manufacturers. The right one from Philips (new), the left from Andersson (well used).


Problem 1: When displaying same window on both monitors, the window "drops" a lot on the left monitor. See images. How can I make height position to be the same on both?


Problem 2: As I thought the above issue might relate to different screen resolutions, I saw that the left (the Andersson one) seems to have 1920 x 1080 whereas the right one (Philips) just has 1080p. Now way to set them to same value.


Any help appreciated.

Problem solved. Connected monitors with HDMI instead of VGA or whatever I used before. Suddenly, I could set the Philips monitor to 2560 x 1440. After installing app BetterDisplay (version 2.3.9 since latest didn't work on Monterey), I could set the Andersson monitor to same resolution (2560 x 1440).
