Hi!
Is it possible to clone the image on one monitor to another (a tv)? I want the identical image on both screens. How do I do that??
And will a setup like this decrease the overall performance??

- Thanks for the help! :)

shouldnt decrease performance... just plug the other monitor (or tv) to a unused slot on your graphics card and it should mirror whats on the primary screen as default... if it doesnt just right click on the desktop and go to screen resolution and make it mirror instead of extend

As tomate2 said, just plug second monitor in free slot on card and make it mirror instead of extend. If you can't see desktop on second, try "Detect displays" in advanced tabs of driver settings. You should have no problems.

But there could be image degradation on one od them if both monitors have different native resolutions. In that case make one primary display and check if second can work with resolution set on primary. If the second one can't work, change primary display (if you could) or resolution on first.

Hope it helps.
