ferrari and dual screen display

Hi all,

Just thinking about placing an order for a ferrari 4005 but have a question: Can you display presentations on both the laptop screen and a projector screen at the same time?

Thanks.

it sure can. you can make it do any option you want plus it recognizes the optimal resolution automatically.

 

Also, if you use windows media player, your video will only show up on one of the screens. If you download the ATI Catalyst Drivers, you can set whether you want the video to be shown on both screens, and whether you want full screen on one of the displays as well.

 

Thanks all,

I did search for the right info but it was 00:45 when I was looking!

Thanks

 

I don't think the search funtion was down at that time

 

So with playing a game, can the other monitor show your chat programs or a browser window or does the second display go blank/black when a game is run?

 

I can play a game on one screen and have a browser window open on the other. I think this may depend on what game you are playing though. Some games change the display settings and this overrides the ati card settings until you exit the game. I downloaded the Hydravision program from ati and it makes using a dual display very easy.

 

Ok, thanks....guess since I never used the hydravision, I didn't know what it was capable of....again, thanks.

 

However, note that when you play a graphics intensive program, it will reduce your performance when you have one screen playing and another displaying the desktop/chat windows.
