hi guys recently I also just set up my dual screen. One thing I noticed that the main icons like wifi/time/clock date located at the Bottom Right is only displayed at Screen No1. and Not Screen No2. Is it possible to duplicate those screen on Screen 2? Anyway both monitor are running on max res of 1680x1050
Here's pic to let u guys understand more. Circled the part of the icon mentioned

Yes, it is possible, but you need a multiple monitor software to do that.
I have tested a lot of them, and the one I found best for now is Actual Multiple Monitors. Works great. I have used it for over a year now with my triple monitor setup.

thx for sharing will look into that soon. smile.gif btw wanna ask one more thing is do u use both onboard graphics and gpu together for dual display or just gpu?
if anyone use both gpu n onboard graphics do let me know. What I've read so far is enable igpu on bios and set it as main display first in order for it to work.

sorry my mobo got no onboard gpu
just using my 7870 for all the monitors
why would you want to use both?

cuz my board have this interesting feature called Virtu Universal VMP which sort of combines both GPU and IGPU to give best performance but currently still kinda buggy and not supported on all games sad.gif
But the main reason is that I have a HDMI-DVI Converter that I would like to use on one of my display but my GTX 650 only provides micro-hdmi instead of standard hdmi L&==sad.gif

well i trust you've downloaded the latest drivers from lucid. i personally have no experience with this quite interesting technology.
and maybe you have to buy a microhdmi to dvi converter. but if you want, you can try using the microhdmi to hdmi converter that usually bundles with gpu nowadays
though as the saying goes, less cables/converters, less chance of failure
good luck in your venture  thumbup.gif

XD yup still havent got chance to test it out yet but I already downloaded and install the Actual Multiple Monitor you mentioned. It works like a charm. Btw I'm using Win8 x64 it somehow miracly bring back the start menu on one of my display and when I press it, it shows something like this. Attached Image
