What I am looking for is basically essentially opposite of nvidia surround, where instead of merging three monitor into one, I want to be able to split my 2913WM into two screens, so I can use my application to it's fullest natively.

Does anyone know why no such thing exists and every time I try to search bunch of crap and window dividing is crap as well.

Anyone know anything?
 
LG has software for their 29" ultrawide, maybe it will work with your dell,
It's called Screen splitter

For that to work, you would need to hook up 2 cables from your video card to the monitor, but I am not sure if the dell will split 2 inputs, I know the LG will with HDMI and DP or DVI.
It will split it down the middle and become 2 monitors.

Yeah my Dell 2913WM do have this, problem is that they fucked it up with scaling issues. It doesn't allow me to display two 1280x1080 natively, instead it tries to squeeze and downscale it, if I pick 1280x1080 the monitor only shows 1/2 of the space, if I pick 2560x1080 it shows full but obviously fucked up due to wrong size.
 
Oh, that is messed up. I don't have my LG yet so I can't test that feature myself, I want to get one soon, just have to offload some equipment first.
 
What you're looking for isn't typically done with a software solution, you need a hardware one. NEC has several displays that can do this but they are all hardware enabled through dual video connections.

EA294WMi-BK is the equivalent product.

Sure, so does my monitor, it's called PBP.

Only reason why I'm haggling is because i know it can be done simply look at NVIDIA surround, if they can create such thing, I know for sure they can also create two monitors in single one.

(If you didnt read my earlier posts, PBP is nothing good.)
 
Of course Microsoft / AMD / Nvidia could easily implement this feature
But none of them can be bothered to add something the average user doesn't need

True but it also took me some time before I discovered actual multiple monitors, It's gonna take bit more time before I find someone managed to create a way to manage virtual monitors.
