I recently got a hook up into my HD TV big screen from my computer. I have
the monitor cable going through the wall through a hole I had drilled. So my
TV and my computer are in different rooms. I have cloned the duel monitors,
however I would like to have different resolution for my computer monitor
and Big Screen TV. The resolution is too high for the big screen because I
can't read it with out zooming a bit. So i'd like to run it a little
smaller. I have not figured out how to do this yet. When I clone it, one
monitor in the DVI  the other in the HD15 VGA connection. The TV is on the
HD15 cable. When I identify displays both say "1"...

How do I set the TV at 1024x768 or a wide screen rosolution, and my computer
Monitor on the DVI cable to 1280x1024?

Any suggetions if this is even possible. I have been changing it on the fly,
but it would be nice to have seperate resolutions.

Note: I have an nvidia based Geforce card with the latest drivers.

I would think a good way of doing this is to set it up as separate
desktops (ie. extended) but enable "Theatre Mode" which means when you
play a movie, it plays fullscreen on one of the monitors (ie. the HD TV)
and remains in a window on the other.  That way you can still work in
the background if you want to on the smaller LCD.
