I have one main monitor and a projector as a second "monitor" for watching movies, etc.

I want to be able to have the projector either mirror the primary monitor OR be able to display a player window like VLC independent of the main monitor.

I seem to be able to only get 2 different options for the projector display - it is either the computer desktop without icons in the "Extend these displays" setting or "Duplicate these displays" which does mirror the main monitor, but the problem is that when I choose "Duplicate these Displays" the resolution of the main monitor changes to a lower resolution.

Are there other ways to control what goes to the second monitor without affecting the primary display?
