Hey everyone, I'm trying to split my main monitor into a smaller second screen. The main one is 1920x1080 and the second is 1440x900. I don’t want to use a mirror setup because it restricts the resolution on the first screen and makes the desktop too tiny for me. I need to see a portion of the main desktop from a distance on the smaller screen. If I clone the output, important details get lost. I mainly use the big screen, so I’m not concerned about the taskbar or anything else. I’ve attached an example to show what I’m after. On Linux I could use Xrandr, but I’m curious if anyone has suggestions for Windows 7. Thanks ahead!
