Duplicate display on Win10

[Stormtrooper01]

Hello everyone.

I have a Hisense k5500 4k TV (http://www.hisense.co.za/product/k5500-uhd-series-hisense-vidaa-lite-tv) and my monitor is a LG 25" widescreen (http://www.lg.com/za/monitors/lg-25UM58-P-ultrawide-monitor). They are both connected to a 980ti but I cannot get them to work together without the other looking funny. If I set my monitor to 2560*1080 then the duplicate display on my TV also does a widescreen variant but with terrible resolution. Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Is there any way that I can duplicate the display without having one look weird? Or is there a totally different set up that I need to implement?

Thanks

Does it look good when you do an extend display, just as a test?

Yes it does but I prefer duplicate. Maybe I'll have to stick with that.

Nope. They have to be the same aspect ratio and native resolution for mirroring to work properly.

You can set your LG monitor to a mode that will always display 1080p, and it will center the image so you have really big black bars on either side. It actually changes the EDID settings and your GPU will output 1080p. Then set your 4K TV to also display 1080p, and now you can mirror your displays.

Or just buy a 4K monitor for your desktop.
