Mirroring your game on a 2nd display thats a lower resolution

[SpeedGeek]

I have a 34" Ultrawide LG Monitor which is my primary gaming display, but my computer is also connected (via HDMI cable) to a large 55" display with 1080p resolution.

I'm trying to find a way for the game I'm playing on my 34" display (which is at a different aspect ratio and much higher resolution) to also be displayed on the 55" TV (either cropped or not) so that other people in the room can watch it on the large TV.

Any ideas on how to make that happen?

Have you tried simply duplicating the display? What happens if you do so?

You may have to lower the resolution on your 34" to 1920x1080 to match the 55".

Ideally you would be able to scale the output to the 55" without fussing about resolutions or lowering quality on your 34"

Yeah, I already know I can lower the resolution, I'm looking for a way to do it WITHOUT lowering the resolution. Keeping the monitor at 3440 x 1440 and having the TV show a lower quality version at 1920x1080

You could user Dynamic Super Scaling (nvidia feature, amd has something similar) on the tv.

You can try setting Custom Resolutions as well under the Change Resoltion page, and be sure to set the Scaling to be done by the GPU (as the tv probably can't scale it) You'll have to play around with it to get it right but I think it may work.

This monitor i'm currently using is only 1080p, but my nvidia card can DSR it to make everything smaller for a 1527 resolution.....

Either way it's going to look worse on your TV, especially when you stretch it out that big, so I'm not sure what you're thinking is going to happen.
