Hey Guys,
I've been poking through the options in UltraMon, but I can't see if this is possible. My question is regarding mirroring.
However, I DO NOT need to mirror something from one screen to another. I need to make a screen read normally as if you were looking at it through a real glass mirror.
I'm building a digital pinball cabinet based off of the Pinball 2000 design. This design has a downward facing screen that projects images onto a mirror'd glass below.
I will be running 3 LCD screens total. The monitor that I need to have this mirrored effect is Monitor 3. I can install the monitor upside down if I have to, but I still have to flip the image so it displays to the viewer correctly via the mirror/glass.
Any suggestions as to how I can' achieve this effect?
Thanks!
Dazz

UltraMon can only do this via mirroring, you can optionally flip the mirrored image horizontally and/or vertically.
If this would work for you I would recommend testing if performance is sufficient for your needs, might be a problem.

I did try to setup mirroring this afternoon before posting here. I'm not sure if I just wasn't doing it right or not, so I may have just been missing something but it did not seem to work.
I see the flip vertcal/horizontal options, but they don't seem to do anything. Do you have to be mirroring another monitor for the vertical/horizontal flip to work?
In my application all of the other screens will be in use and I don't need to mirror another screen. Each LCD will have it's own info being displayed.
I just need to flip images/video on this one screen.

UltraMon can only flip the mirror image, you would need to mirror monitor 2 on monitor 3 for example, and the image on monitor 3 could then be flipped.

Right-click the UltraMon icon in the system tray (the area of the main taskbar next to the clock), then select Mirroring > Settings from the menu. Look for the flip mirror image options on the last page of the settings.

I have a similar need (viewing a screen off of a teleprompter). I think Mirroring is to clone another monitor with the exact same display, but I think both of us need to Invert an image so that text (and everything on the screen) is written backwards, but when displayed against an actual mirror, you can read it correctly on the mirror.
Does this make sense?

You can do this with UltraMon, but only if you have two monitors. UltraMon will mirror one monitor to the other, and you can optionally flip the image on the second monitor, horizontally and/or vertically.

Yes, this! Me too. This would be a great feature.
The ability to flip a SINGLE screen horizontally (without mirroring) would make Ultramon untouchable in this space. I can see lots of discussions on a wide range of forums and the only way to do this is to buy a $500 dollar piece of hardware — crazy, right?
It seems Ultramon is really close to achieving this (without having to mirror another screen). If you built this feature, you’d instantly become the go-to solution for home-teleprompter setups and other use cases. Thousands of people are waiting for this. Add it, and you’re not just solving a problem—you’re creating a competitive edge.
Please Mr Ultramon could you invest some of your genius in to creating this differentiator to bring even more people to your product $$$$$

I doubt that this could be done in UltraMon, would probably need to be a display driver feature.
If you have a free port on your video card, you could install a HDMI or DisplayPort dummy (these are cheap), then extend the desktop to the dummy and mirror the dummy to your real monitor via UltraMon.
