    Hi

    i have a dell xp 15 with an Nvidia gt525m card with the 3.8.812.0 drivers...

    now the problem is that some months ago using the Nvidia control panel i manage to create a MIRROR from my laptop display (1920x1080p) to my plasma TV with a resolution (1336x768) but using the "extendend view mode" so...i manage to Mirror the desktop with different resolutions on each display.

    and by my brother mistake, he changed that and now if i try to mirror both displays they get cloned and only using "THE SAME RESOLUTION" so... if i use my tv as primary display then my Laptop display get the same low resolution and in the contrary way my tv gets a higher resolution overlapping image information from my laptop resolution display making the tv image tiny and looks bad...Even on extended mode i cant achive the mirroring configuration as i initially described

    so i wanna see the same desktop screen (tv and laptop) but each one with their correct resolution respectively

    its weird its like my first configuration had a software error or a bug .

    but how can i get that configuration again?....

    Thanks

    I found that there was an option called DUALVIEW that allow you to show the same image(screen) on each display with a separated resolution...and thats what i need but i cannot find something relevant as a solution....hopefully someone can help.... but believe me it can be done without that option....but i think it was an error on the drivers or software

    right click

    nvidia control panel

    set up multiple displays

    right click the 1st picture (not hte icons on top, but the picture of the two tv's).

    "extend desktop on this display"

    click apply, you'll see the screen all fubared

    go to "change resolution"

    click on the TV (mine's a samsung). change it's resolution to 1366x768 (i don't know if that's what you meant because there's no 1336x768, not that i've ever seen that anyway).

    that should work now and your laptop screen should go back to 1920x1080
