I have two displays,

1) my primary monitor HP w2007 1680X1050

2) secondary Westinghouse LTV-32 1360X768


Is there anyway to clone the monitors and have them both run at their native res? I can get them to clone using nvidia control panel, but they both run at the 1360X768 which is no good.

If this is not possible, is it possible to run certain programs on the westy apposed to the primary? I watch all my movies on the westy as well as a few computer games, but not all of them. Its just a real pain to switch the displays every time I wanna play a game.

I've tried UltraMon and it wont do what I want. Anyone have any other suggestions?


Thanks,

Foz
 
I have dual displays on two different resolutions. I have my nView display mode set to Dualview on NVIDIA cards. When I had an ATI setup at work, I couldn't get two different displays no matter what I did.

And if I'm playing a video in VideoLan and drag it from one display to the other, it switches when the video window gets over halfway to the next display.

Yah I can get them to run dual display with different resolutions, but not if they are cloned. After I think about it, it would'nt even make sense to really have them at different resolutions if they are cloned so Im guessing that wont even be an option.

Does anyone know if there is a way to run certain programs on a particular monitor? I play a lot of my games on the westy and dont wanna have to be switching every time.
 
I'm with you man, I have been trying to figure it out forever and with no luck. Even if I set my monitor to 1920x1080 (native is 1920x1200) in a game with the display cloned it will not look right on the TV.

I would love to have the display cloned, and have the only difference be the resolution. Where the only change needed to play games is the in-game resolution setting. That would not bother me. There has got to be a way to do it.
 
yah exactly, or just have certain programs assigned to different monitors, there has to be some 3rd party app that could do this....

sandman - as for ultramon, the best I could do with that program is to have 2 different display profiles, where by its a simple click of a button to switch which monitor is primary, but im stubborn and want something better. Mainly because my girlfriend uses the computer as well, and dont I wanna have to show her how to do it all, I rather have it automated in some way.


You'd think that a fair portion of people have a television hooked up to their computers for movies/gaming... no?
