I recently purchased a HTPC and I'm having trouble with the dual output. The case has a touchscreen so that uses an output, the other is connected to my plasma via DVI>HDMI. I originally had the HTPC connected to the plasma via DVI>VGA but the plasma's VGA only accepts a max resolution of 1280x768, but I wanted the 1080 resolution available with the HDMI input.
My questions for now though are...
1. I set the display resolution on my plasma to 1080, but the text isn't smooth at all and half/most of the bottom toolbar goes off the screen. the next lowest resolution where everything fits and is clear is 1280x768. Is it possible to improve the quality of what i'm seeing at 1080?
2. I read something about making separate profiles for dual monitors, what would be a good app? I use the plasma as my primary display but when listening to music I want to use the touchscreen. I wish I could simply swap the primary/secondary display setting via windows but the touchscreen only accepts 800x600 resolution.
Specs
Plasma: Pioneer Kuro 60" PDP-6010FD
Case: Moneual LAB Black / Silver Aluminum MonCaso 932T ATX
Video card: XFX 8800 GT XXX Alpha Dog Edition
Thanks in advance, any thoughts are appreciated. Last thing I want to do is mess up either display, especially the TV.
