Games are a funny one as they don't work with multiple monitors so well. On my old ATI card I used to get a full screen on one monitor with the game on, then the other monitors would be like half a screen on each like they had been pushed up sideways. | |

Its more so for games that I was trying to get it to work. I want it so that I can play games on the television too as its got a better picture. | |

If the TV is a clone of the monitor then you wil have this problem. You would be better running them as two separate displays with DualView so you can set resolution for each one, then if you want to watch a film etc. on the TV just move Media Player to that screen before you do an Alt-Enter to full screen it. | |

If its ATI, enable DualView in the ATI panel before you tick the 'Extend my Desktop' in display properties. | |

In Windows you right click the desktop, click options then go to settings. In settings you click on you secondary screen and un-check the tick box at the bottom that says "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor". | |

Nah, its not got anything that I can see, only the basic drivers. I'm downloading the ATI tools now, to see if that makes any difference. | |

You should have software with the card that contains setup I think? | |

I've just bought a new graphics card, which has two outputs. I want to connect a monitor, and my flatscreen telly to the two outputs, but for them to show the same picture, rather than just stretch the desktop between the two. How do I do it? Its pissing me off as it will only use the same desktop (I.e. I can move icons between the screens), rather than exactly the same being shown on both. |
