Help - enable dual displays?

david25 · 20 Dec 2006 at 21:34

Hi, I've just received a Samsung 203B panel and want to compare using clone mode with my l90+, however Windows and the nvidia (old one) only show one monitor, I can swap between them but not enable both. Any ideas please?

Display Properties->Settings->Advanced->*graphics card name*->nView Display Settings (or similar, driver dependant). Is there an option there such as dualview, clone or span?

Do you have like really old drivers?

If so, check you have the latest drivers - I know for a fact they support dual monitor out

I'm not sure if John.Goold was talking to me or OP, but I should mention that I keep setting the nVidia drivers to the classic layout...the directions I gave probably aren't right for the new layout.

Mud - Yeah, I was replying to david25, your method certainly is correct in classic view, although I was referring to the 'kiddy graphical' view which I use lol. Theres a massive tab for dual screen output, you can also select TV out settings from here too IIRC.

Cheers,
John

Thought as much but wasn't certain...david25, we need to know your graphics card and drivers! Older cards don't all support multiple monitors simultaneously.
