How to Mirror Monitors in Catalyst

How to Mirror Monitors in Catalyst thumbnail
Mirror the display onto dual monitors using ATI Catalyst Control Center software.

ATI-based video cards use a control center program called ATI catalyst. This graphic card software offers deeper user control over the graphic settings and display options than what is normally found in your standard operating system menu. If you have a dual monitor setup, use the ATI catalyst control center to mirror one display onto the second monitor. This will give you two monitors showing the exact-same display view at the same time.

Instructions

    • 1

      Make sure the second monitor is connected to your PC, then restart the computer so that it will recognize the new attached device.

      Click "Start," then "All Programs," then select "ATI Catalyst Control Panel" to start the program. Alternatively, you can right-click on any empty space on your Windows Desktop and select "ATI Catalyst Control Center" from the pop-up screen.

      Click the "Advanced" option, and click "Next." If you already have the control center set up to view advanced settings, you won't need this step.

      Click "Display manager" in the left-hand pane, and then click "Display Properties."

    • 5

      Click "Detect Displays" if you do not see both monitors listed.
