Thread: Dual Screen.

What is a good software/plug in for easier use of two screen. The windows one is very limited. I have it set up as 2 separate screens not a panning as one of my screens is dueled as a TV and looks horrible at high res. I am using a VGA to HDMI converter I'm sure that is were the problem originates ontop of the facts its a tv screen not a pc. I ideas on how to make it look better on high res would be much appreciated although I don't think there is.

PS When I but it on high res it look like everything is moving slightly.

What? None of that makes a lick of sense.

For the most part the graphics drivers should have you more than covered for dual screen use.

You have 2 simple choices for using 2 screens, you can either have a primary and a secondary screen each with its own resolution set, or you can choose a single really wide resolution and have it stretched across both screens, something like 1280 x 2048 for 2 19 inch LCDs

If your using a tube TV, the resolution is probably limited to 640x480 or whatever which will pretty much always look like shit when you pushing a normal PC resolution at it.

that is what i have set up is one set to primary screen.which is how i want it. I just want to run them at high res. The TV is a plasma flatscreen 26 inch. And I just got Ultramon so that solved that problem.

High resolutions like what? a 26 inch Plasma cant be higher than a 720p meaning 1280 x 720, which you shouldnt need external software to run...

Edit can does not equal cant

correct, if your gpu cannot detect the highest proper rez, you can either force it (not recommended) or are using a bad/wrong cable..

Thanks, cables are fine it is most likely is just can't do it ill just have to go get another cheap monitor at the circuit city closing sale.
