Trying to clone my desktop
I have a 65" Mitsubishi DLP that I want to use as another monitor.
I don't want the extended desktop, because I want to be able to play games without having to go through the hassle of switching main displays and whatnot.
Is it possible to have my 19" lcd be at 1680x1050 and my TV be at 1920x1080 with the SAME desktops?
Meaning, what I see on one screen I see on the other?
I can almost do this right now with the nVidia desktop control software...but it forces the TV to be the same resolution as the lcd...
Also, when I try to set them up as dual-monitors the screen on the TV is always cut off...like the resolution is too big to fit all the icons onto the screen. When I open the start menu, it shows up on the TV with the bottom 1/4 missing.
Any ideas would be a great help!
Oh, and I'm using an 8800GTS 640mb card. Also using a DVI-HDMI cable to go from the comp to my receiver (Onkyo 605)
