Hi,


I am looking to perform a presentation using my laptop through a TV. Using an HDMI cable, this all works fine.

My question is this - is there a way to dictate exactly what is shown through the hdmi output? ie. can I show something on the TV screen whilst doing something else on my laptop?

Is there any software that will allow me to do this?


Thank you for your help.
 
Yes what OS are you using?

In mac OSX
System preferences
display
uncheck mirror display
set the screens to your liking

in windows 7
control panel
change display settings
set screens to your liking.
 
Hi FXB,

Thanks for the reply - I use windows 7.

I can find the display setting in the control panel but I'm struggling to see where it allows me to control the hdmi output...?
 
you can't control what goes out the HDMI outpout persay but once you have the displays setup, you can drag anything from one display to the other.

Say you have your presentation on the TV and your presentation notes on the laptop monitor.
