Primary Screen Cloning Question Help!

Hey. I'v got a bit of a problem. I am using a Dell 23" for my pc and a LG 37" for my television. They are connected via DVI cable. Graphic card is Nvidia GTX 260.
So I am using the "cloning" function in the Nvidia Control Panel.
My only problem is that to "clone" the screens, one of them must be the "primary" screen. The primary screen is currently set to the LG 37" but for some reason my 23" Dell pc monitor has these flimmers all the time, it's really annoying when watching something on the monitor or when I am gaming. It's not big flimmers, but these little tiny one going over the screen lasting for about 1 second at a time. So I tried to set the Dell monitor to the "primary" screen, but now my TV has these ugly flimmers when I watch movies and so on. It's getting really annoying to have to choose the "primary" of the screens.. I s there any way to get rid of this problem and have the same quality on both the screens? It's such a annoying problem.
Any help would be great Thanks.

Hello hawkin90,
Are you using the latest drivers ?, if you are, try a re-install of the drivers and see if that helps, boot into safe mode and use driver sweeper to clean out the old drivers.

Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Hope this helps, good luck and post your results.

we might know something about it , if we knew what the hell a "flimmer" was??!! ;)

do you mean a scan bar? like a black line that scrolls down the screen? or a flickering?

im guessing its a timing issue , you may just need to set a custom resolution

you could also try setting the scaling options to use NVidia scaling instead of the displays default (built in scaling)
