Mirroring monitors For a demo today, some people wanted me to "mirror" their monitors, so the screen showed the same content as the projector connected to the other video output. I got a quick lesson in the difference between technologies. How to mirror displays Windows: Right click on the desktop, menu pops up Select "Properties", window opens Click on "Settings" tab Click on "Advanced" button (screen blanks temporarily) Click on "GeForce" tab Click on "run Nvidia configuration" button (screen blanks temporarily, new window opens) Select "Multiple Screen Configuration" in the left navigation bar Click on "Clone Displays" radio button (screen blanks temporarily, projector loses synch) Click on "Okay" (configuration window closes) Click on "Cancel" in Advanced properties window (window closes) Click on "Cancel" in Properties window (window closes) Right click on the desktop, menu pops up Select "Properties", window opens Click on "Settings" tab Reset screen resolution (projector regains synch, new window pops up) Click on "Yes" to accept new resolution and close window Click on "Okay" to close Properties window Many steps and three programs later, screens are mirrored.
