[QUOTE="gibman, post: 217662, member: 25430"] The only way to do this on an ATI card is to use clone mode. I have an old ati 9500 It has DVI and VGA out. DVI is connected to PJ. VGA is connected to TV CRT (not scart, but VGA just like a monitor). Now, u need to set the resolution and refresh rate. In my case it is 1280x720 @ 50 hz. No tearing in any of the screens. Also my PJ is natively using 1280x720, so this seems optimal in my case. u cant use independent refresh rates or screen res while using clone mode. So in most cases one of your devices will not run in its native resolution. u have to choose which one to honour. It's even worse if u try to connect to an old scart CRT tv. ATI only supports 1024x768, 800x600 at TV output. u cant connect 1280x720 using tv out, at least Ive never succeeded. /gibman [/QUOTE]
