It's called 'cloning' - whereby what you see on the primary or main monitor is what you see on the other ( secondary ) The G450 does this ( it's what I'm using right now ). Ensure that you untick 'extend my desktop onto this monitor' or you'll 'lose' the mouse cursor. Having said that, I've never been able to get the second monitor to run at anything more than the default 60hz refresh rate on W98SE - or at least not so that it retains its custom refresh rate after using the hotkey to switch it on and off. Dos boxes make it throw a wobbly too! I have a feeling that XP handles it rather better.

"Dual desktop" just means displaying a desktop on two monitors at the same time. The "clone" mode will do what you want, and the G450 can handle it with no problems. Display should be the same on both desktops, although you may not be able to use the same resolution for both monitors. The "stretch" mode will expand the main desktop onto the second monitor in the direction you choose. Larc §§§ - Change planet to earth to reply by email - §§§ |
