Do monitors have to be the same brand/resolution to use a multiple display?

Right now I really kind of want a window for FireFox to be open while I'm playing other games, but all I have is my old 1280 x 720 monitor. Would that work?
I'm using an iiyama 1920x1080 and an XEROX 1650x1050, so I would think it does yes?
I hav a HP 1680x1050 and a philips tv
You can do that, yes. I used to run a dual-monitor setup with a 17" Compaq V75 as my main and a cheapo 15" LCD as my secondary. My main ran at 1280x960 and my secondary was 1024x768 (the max res on that monitor). You won't be able to keep both a game window and a Firefox window in focus though, as soon as you switch to one it'll minimize/unfocus the other.
they dont need to be the exact same monitor
So yeah word of advice, if you're going to do that run the game not in fullscreen but in a window.
