Video to TV, Menu to LCD?

[robbc]

I would like to use a smallish LCD panel for controlling CD/FM/Internet-Radio stuff (about 80% of the use). Using the TV for this seems a waste of power. Then when I watch TV or videos the video goes out to the TV.

I have a 350 and550 Hauppenauger (sp?) , an NVideo 7600 GT.

Any other suggests for solving this would be appreciated. I searched for prior forum posts, and I am sure they exist, but I could not find them.

Thanks

Thanks, that confirms my own findings for Nvidia

Set Nvidia to CLONE
Set TV as the primary
Set output as Overlay

Now the LCD and TV has the OSD but only the TV gets the video. I would prefer to hide the OSD on the TV but this is useable and close to what I wanted. Now I can leave the LCD on all the time (with standard power saving mode enabled) and handle FM, Internet Radio, etc. And when watching a movie it plays only on the TV (playing on the LCD and TV is distracting).

Thanks again
