Hi
Ive currently got my Tv connected via VGA along side my monitor both plugged into an ATI x800....Im trying to clone my main monitor on the Tv...the problem is though it that they both run at different resolutions
The monitor is 1280 x 1024 whilst the Tv's maximum res is 1024 x 768
Is it possible with ultramon to have the tv and monitor cloned but running at different resolutions
Thanks alot

Yes, but you'll get a distorted image due to the different aspect ratios, UltraMon mirroring currently doesn't preserve aspect ratio.

Also say if i had 2 graphics cards installed ....not an SLI setup would this allow different resolutions?
Thanks

I have managed to get it to work....Mirroring the 1st monitor on the second monitor (lcd tv)
The only problem now though is when i play a video on the pc it displays fine on the monitor but just a black box apperas on the tv
ive tried WMP , Winamp ,VLC and wmp classic
all of them doing the same
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?
Thanks

If you're using UltraMon mirroring, go to mirror settings > Options and disable video overlays, this should fix the problem.

I have the smae problem as above. The "disable video overlays" option is a solution, but the problem then is that MCE says that the videocard is not supported, and when you do get MCE started that scrolling is disabled.
With standard nView cloning this problem doesn't occur. Of course then there is the problem that you cannot use different resolutions on different monitors.
Summary, is there a possibility to have two idfferent resolutions on a clone and use full hardware acceleration?

I met this issue on playing video on clone working mode, although disable video card's overlay can watch mirror video, it is done all by software and not efficient. I have tried one software named Matrixdvd Player from http://www.xj-spark.com, it can display video on each monitors by hardware, so far so good.

Ok, I may be an idiot, but I don't even see the "Mirroring" option anyware? Is it under "Options"? I saw the screen capture on your site, but my display properties doesn't have the mirroring option. I just installed UltraMon 3.0 Beta 1 (3.0.0) on my Windows Vista Machine. Is this a Vista issue?
I'm using NVidia drivers on my NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT. I have a small LCD touch-screen on the first display and an old CRT HDTV (640x480) on the second display.
Thanks!

Mirroring is not yet supported on Vista, support for this is planned for the 3rd 3.0 beta.

Well, I'm glad to hear that I'm not an idiot! When do you expect the 3rd 3.0 beta will be released?
The problem I'm trying to fix now is that I am running Windows Vista Media Center on my 7 inch touch screen, but currently, both the touch-screen and the HDTV have to run at the same resolution for the mirroring to work. I want to have Media Center running on both displays but with different resolutions.
Thanks!

I don't have an estimated release date for the next release yet.
Please note that UltraMon usually can't mirror video. You would probably need to disable video overlays, which causes performance and image quality loss.

Well, thanks for that info. I think I can live without mirroring video, if I make my TV the primary display, and the 7-in touchscreen the mirror? That way when video is displayed, it will only be on the TV. I'll give this a shot once your new release comes out. Do you have an email notifier for new releases?
Thanks,
Jason
