I have an XP 400 with a 256MB ATI Hyper Memory PCI-Express X16 (DVI/VGA/TV
out) Radeon X600 SE...I've attached a 32 Aquos LCD with an DVI-HDMI
connection and have the monitor on analogue input...Two problems...To get
the widescreen to use it's dimension and show all the windows desktop I must
alter the monitor screen to not very attractive more rectangular look...In
addition computer animations ie media player show great on the 32 but not
visible on the 19...I'm sure I need to adjsut something?...But whaty...I'm
not very savy at this yet...Thanks un advance...GG

not sure about the res problem, my widescreen allowed me to pick the correct
res

the media player problem is an overlay problem/thing i think
video will only play on the primary screen, you can coax it into playing on
the second screen though

Didn't have much time earlier....

so - the reasons I like ULTRAMON

2 monitors at different res - works perfectly for me
wallpaper spread across 2 monitors - works perfectly for me
tuning on and off second monitor is quick and easy
video / DVD / stream / everything (except of course ogl/dx3 full screen
apps) runs on either monitor and can be easily swapped from one to the
other.

great little product.
IMHO
