Mirroring monitors
Jun. 22nd, 2009 02:58 pmFor a demo today, some people wanted me to "mirror" their monitors, so the screen showed the same content as the projector connected to the other video output. I got a quick lesson in the difference between technologies.
How to mirror displays
Windows:
- Right click on the desktop, menu pops up
- Select "Properties", window opens
- Click on "Settings" tab
- Click on "Advanced" button (screen blanks temporarily)
- Click on "GeForce" tab
- Click on "run Nvidia configuration" button (screen blanks temporarily, new window opens)
- Select "Multiple Screen Configuration" in the left navigation bar
- Click on "Clone Displays" radio button (screen blanks temporarily, projector loses synch)
- Click on "Okay" (configuration window closes)
- Click on "Cancel" in Advanced properties window (window closes)
- Click on "Cancel" in Properties window (window closes)
- Right click on the desktop, menu pops up
- Select "Properties", window opens
- Click on "Settings" tab
- Reset screen resolution (projector regains synch, new window pops up)
- Click on "Yes" to accept new resolution and close window
- Click on "Okay" to close Properties window
Many steps and three programs later, screens are mirrored.
