You're going to need to install proprietary Nvidia graphics driver to set your monitors up properly. That and possibly a package called arandr if the driver doesn't solve issue itself. Problem is you can't do that on a live DVD because you'll need to reboot for settings to take effect and that will re-start you back on square one. (Can't write changes to a read-only DVD.)
Best bet is to make a bootable USB stick with a "persistence" file that will allow you to make changes that carry forward to future boots. Then you can run the "Install Drivers" program under Menu -> Settings -> Install Drivers to find Nvidia drivers. Here are a couple of programs for creating a live USB with persistence from your downloaded ISO file:

http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Use a 2GB or larger USB stick. Max size for persistence file is 4GB. Eg. If using an 8GB stick, ISO will take approx. 1GB itself, then max out persistence at 4GB -- rest of space will be wasted. (There are ways around that, but too complicated to bother going into for now and 4GB is much more than enough for testing purposes.)
