Hi all,
I've got a PC that i want to install MCE2005 on. The PC has a 6800Ultra which has two DVI ports. Now, I want to be able to connect this PC to both my Iiyama 19" LCD Monitor and my Samsung 32" 16:9 LCD-TV.
This PC is still going to be used for everyday PC things, playing games, internet, work etc, but I also want to connect it to my new HDTV Samsung set to be able to watch movies etc.
The Samsung TV when connected to the PC will be mainly used for watching DVD's, DivX's and also some HDTV (.ts) files I have on my PC.
Heres my question, should my Samsung LCD-TV be set as a clone or a extended screen in my Nvidia settings? The native res of my LCD-TV is 1368x768 or thereabouts, however the native res of my Iiyama LCD monitor is 1280x1024. There are obviously different resolutions with different aspect ratios.
Does MCE2005 display on an extended monitor, or do I have to set it as a clone, and therefore change the resolution from 1280x1024 to 1368x768 everytime I want to view movies using MCE2005 on my LCD-TV.
Cheers,
Tom.
