Cloned screen on monitors with different resolutions

Question

I want to set up a system with two displays connected. One display will be a 22inch monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080. The other display is a 19inch display native resolution 1024x768.

I want to clone the 1920x1080 display on to the 1024x768 display.

I have tried this and the 1080p image is squashed on to the smaller display. Is it possible to set it up such that rather than squashing the image, I can get the smaller display to use a virtual resolution of 1920x1080 and pan the display?

Windows mirroring demands that both monitors be of the same resolution.

The solution is a commercial product - UltraMon ($39.95).

From its documentation about Mirroring :

UltraMon offers a very flexible software mirroring solution:

• mirror to one or more monitors
• mirror only a single application, part of the desktop, or the area around the mouse pointer
• zoom the mirror image or flip it horizontally and/or vertically
• the source monitor can run at a higher resolution than the mirror monitor
• pause mirroring (freezes the current image on the mirror monitor)
• use hotkeys to start/stop/pause mirroring
• source and mirror monitors can be driven by different video cards
