Advice: How to mirror dual monitor setup

[ptran504]

Please help me out here as you FWers are the best and the brightest. Googled and could not find an answer.

I have a dual monitor set up and would like the second monitor to be a mirror image. Not a identical image as the first monitor, but literally a mirror image. It is because I have a reflecting mirror and everything in the mirror is backwards right now so if the second monitor was mirrored, then it would correct itself. Same concept as why "AMBULANCE" is written like this:

Please help me out as I am at wit's end.

The answer may not exist, but if it does, then I am confident in you guys!

Doing so, would put a serious load on your video system.

Every word and image will be backward and unusable

Thanks for the reply.

The thing is they won't be words that are being reversed. They will be pictures. It is for a visual acuity chart in an office. Patients will be looking in the mirror to view the LCD behind them. The visual acuity chart has "pictures" of letters and also other pictorial slides, but those pictorial slides are backwards right now.

It would be much easier to just flip the image horizontally and save a separate copy. MS Paint and GIMP both do that.

It is actually a visual acuity program that I am using. It isn't just a bunch of images.

Setup two mirrors then to get the proper reflection.

Otherwise, you will need an application that is told to capture the output on the screen of one application and then do a pixel by pixel reversal to another window.

It could be done, what the response time would be, who knows unless the pictures are static.
