Dual monitors?

Pages: << < (2/4) > >>

If I understand correctly, you want to display the same image on two monitors right?

Why not just get a splitter/amplifier of some sort?  I'm almost positive something like that exists.

What's this for BTW?

Jakobud:

Just buy any regular nVidia card with dual monitor output heads on it.  Use the nView software to do a Clone monitor setup and presto.  This is your easiest solution.

That's what I am planning on doing.

The problem is I have heard that some programs do not like the dual monitor cards and since Mame changes the screen resolution would it work correctly with a dual monitor card?

I'm pretty sure that if you are cloning your desktop you will not run into any programs that have a problem with it.  When you extend your desktop onto a second monitor (with a dual head card rather than two separate cards) you run into things like video only playing on the primary monitor.  I believe that cloning the monitors will work fine for you regardless of what program you're doing.

That said, I may just be talking out ---my bottom---, since I've never tried it.
