Yipee I found a way to make both monitor and TV run at 60hz in duplicate mode I'm not sure how I did it but I was fooling around with the res in the Nvidia control panel and got it to work now when turning off and back on the monitor it doesn't change the scaling I'm happy now I like duplicate mode better than extended
edit it could have been a bug in Nvidia drivers

i wish I can find a way to get the TV from 30hz to 60hz in a duplicate setting but there is only 30hz setting nothing else

First gen 4K UHDTV's only did 30Hz on the HDMI inputs
Some of them have 60Hz as options on HDMI 2 and 3 only (check the manual)
Some require settings turned on in the TV to achieve 60Hz on those ports - enhanced mode for samsung, HDMI video range for sony, and so on

I don't know how I did it but I got the tv at 4k 60hz and monitor 4k at 60hz in duplicate mode I was messing around in the Nvidia control panel and it just happened so funny

My question is, why? Why not extend your desktop instead of duplicating it?

because the tv is almost behind me and if I want to watch something on youtube its easer to setup than sit on the couch and watch on the big screen

windows+P
Win+left/right arrow
just toggle which screen is enabled, or drag the window over

I found out how I made the refresh rate match in the Nvidia control panel when I was messing with the resolution I changed it from pc to ultra HD, HD, SD for both before the monitor was on PC

Generally, PC has the correct ones while the TV ones are "generic" HDMI standard resolutions

Did the resolution or colour depth change going between them?
It's also possible that it used nvidias scaling options, something like running a 4K 60Hz signal in, but outputting as a scaled 1080p60 to the actual TV

not sure this is all new to me but I'm learning

Checked mine for you, for info.
Remember that this is an Nvidia menu, so it'll show their exclusive resolutions and such - windows generally shows the legit ones.

"PC" is the EDID values from the monitor

"TV" is generic TV resolutions and refresh rates - as an example, 1440p wont show up here (but 24Hz and 30Hz options will)

If enabled, scaling resolutions and DSR resolutions will show up there as well

Best thing to do is to get it working, then hit the info button on the TV remote and see what it's really running at - my 4K sony TV actually looks decent at 1080p for gaming, 120Hz breaks the UI but 1080p 100Hz is actually quite good when your GPU cant handle 4K

thank you for info I checked the tv info and it said the res is at 4k and refresh is 60 everything working good and the desktop looks good on it

Now you gotta see if it overclocks, mine does 66Hz at 4K or 120Hz 1080 (with a broken GUI, so i use 100Hz)

I do something similar, but I just drag the Browser windows to the second screen and maximize it. It's really very easy. See below.

Even though the screens are configured side-by-side in Windows, they're actually stacked vertically on my desk, with Display2 on top. Easy Breezy.

Mussels · Jan 29, 2022

The only tricky thing there is sending the audio to the TV if you want it moved over

There is actually a hidden away setting in W10 and W11 to let you force a default sound output for programs - so you can say, force VLC to use the TV's output as the default (and if the TV isnt connected, it'll use system default)

wow Mussels you know so much I'm glad I know about you

Just passing through again to say I have windows 11 on all my systems TPM and core isolation and all. Un-molested by UI modifications et al and everything runs and performs just dandy.

Figured id just add a comment about the win 11 positives to spice things up a touch. After all the people having issues are often the loudest.

Heey... how can I put different wallpapers on two monitors? At least it doesn't work like before.

I had that before, now I have just "set as desktop background" as seen here just like I would have just a single monitor

Unplugging and replugging my 2nd monitor solved that issue :laugh:

Hiding Windows 11’s Teams icon doesn’t just save taskbar space—it also saves RAM

If you’re not using these preinstalled Windows features, disable them.
