    Second Monitor Issues....

    Hey guys,

    Im having dramas with connecting my second monitor to my graphics card. Im using a radeon 4850 card with latest drivers. My first monitor is a 22 inch ASUS screen and second monitor is a 50" LG TV. I want the tv to clone my first monitor. It seems to work fine until i reboot my computer or turn off my tv. Everytime i want to use the tv as a second monitor i have to open the ati catalyst control center, right click on either monitor and swap the mapping displays. Is there something ive done wrong or an easy fix?



    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Nathan

    my wifes laptop does the same thing with our 55" vizio lcd tv, no matter what i do int he settings, so i have come to the conclusion it is the software.

    Yeah i had a feeling this might have been the case. I just find its easier to turn the tv to the hdmi input and reset the computer and it seems to work fine. Bit of a pain in the arse though.

    If anyone has a fix though it would be extremely helpful!
