[QUOTE="bigj, post: 217889, member: 10940"] I'm looking at this too - may be getting a projector soon - and want to switch between TV and projector without swapping cables and/or restarting MP. My plan so far is to run dualhead clone mode - so I choose a resolution that is ok for both devices and clone that on both heads of the video card. Then I think I can just turn on the TV or projector and start watching! It doesn't demand anything of MP - resolution changing etc - so should just work. Well, that's the plan. The downside is that I must use a common resolution of desktop on both devices - and because my TV is old analog PAL - that must be 576 liines. But that is ok for me for now since I only have SD sources currently. If you have a modern TV, then you could do the same, but use the native resolution of either your TV or projector - depending on which you watch the most (or which of the devices has the best internal scaler to cope with the non-native signal). If you try this, let me know how it goes - 'cos as I say - it's just a plan for me right now... [/QUOTE]
