2 screen different res-possible?

Hi

Tried searching for this but not the easiest, currently I run a 1920x1080 monitor for pc work and switch using windows+p to a 1920x1080 tv for htpc duties. However looking at getting one of the dells in the MM market but just occured to me they are 1920x1200 - would it still be possible to switch between monitor and tv as easy as it is now? or is it going to be a pain to switch screens.

If it makes any difference it is very rare I run a dual monitor set up so could live without that if I could switch from one to the other.

thanks, Greboth.

It'll work just fine, I currently run a 2560*1440 with a 1600*1024 (long story) you wont be able to game across both of them though (doesn't seem to be an issue for you though)

But extended desktop/duplicate display will work just fine.

Aye, you can use all kinds of whacky combo's (using 1200x1920 - 2560x1440 - 1680x1050 myself atm).

Thank you for the quick responses

I wont be gaming using both screens so that makes things a lot simpler.

yea, it'll be fine, I have 3 screens running at: 1024x1280, 1920x1200, 1024x1280 (in that order)

I can't game across all 3, but it's great for working.
