How do I flip my computer display so it's mirrored?

[spinningwoman]

TYVM Salmon! You are my hero! Just one last question. Is it possible to do this for videos?

Thank!  Trying to solve this same problem for a different reason - wanting to watch exercise/dance videos and powerpoints mirrored so that I can copy the moves directly as if in a mirror.  I'll try this for powerpoints etc - For videos, you can use VLC media player which has an option to play in mirrored format and is a great little player with no fat anyway.  You have to set the mirrored option before beginning to play, I think.

why cant you just go into control panel
type display into the search box
you will see change screen orientation
click that choose a flipped orientation and click OK

That just rotates it 180 degrees so it's upside down. That's a function for projectors that are mounted upside down on a ceiling.

What he wants to do is have the image reverse horizontally so it looks backward when you look at the screen, but forward when looking in a mirror.

Fun fact: This is a common practice on older and larger upright arcade arcade cabinets. An out-of-sight TV screen with a reverse image is facing upward reflecting off of a mirror where the player sees it from. This gives the cabinet a lower center of gravity so the machine can't be tipped over as easily. It also adds more depth to the player view.

The download link for the software in not working.  I was wondering if anyone has this file (pvcmirror.exe) to share.  I know this thread is a little bit outdated, if the sharing of this utility is not possible are there any software with similar function that is currently available for download.

Hoping for a quick response. Thanks.

Can I get a copy as well? I have been looking for a way to invert the screen for digital signage. I have a hair salon I want to install the screen behind the people getting hair cuts so they can read the screen from looking in the mirror.

If using an old CRT monitor, an analog monitor, a technician and swap two fly-back wires s so that the scan reversed.

EDIT: Google TV mirror image
There are LCD monitors for people who want to watch TV in the bath tub.
The mirror option lets you see the TV in the bath room mirror.

The reason you would want to mirror your computer monitor is to recreate a mirror effect much like an arcade gaming cabinet, or in my case, to use your laptop monitor display screen as a teleprompter. This program will mirror, Not flip your computers laptop monitor display screen. HMU on FB or instagram.  https://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/download.asp

No, it does not do what it says.  It means replicate rather than mirror.
The Optical mirror action can be done in hardware on analog monitors. You just reverse the vertical and horizontal sweep.
