Bizarre question - reverse image on monitor

Is it possible to reverse (mirror image) what a monitor displays so that if viewed in a mirror it will appear normal. A software solution would be preferable rather than modifying the hardware

I can't find anything.  I would suggest connecting it to a projector.  These offer that capability.
exactly what I was going to say.  You're looking for a projector.
:) try using 2 mirrors :)

could u explain what sort of use you intend it for..

The use I want it for is a display in an area of heavy traffic. The idea is to have the hardware, screen etc in a secure box with a polycarb transparent section and the image viewed on a Mylar reflective surface or a concave plastic mirror - hence the need for a mirror image
I have not found an application as yet that will flip the monitor image so far one of the best things I have found it a screen capture package.

it allows you to on a timer do a screen capture and then you could set it to preview that.. I will keep my eyes out for something more active.
Most art packages will allow the flipping of an image that could in turn be output to the screen if desired.

Also if you are intending to output a camera shot this can be usually reversed as part of the program... because even things like MS netmeet will allow you to do that.

If you are looking for a custom application to do the job which is what I expect then you are likely to have to get that created for you.

I have also read some snippets that suggest that microsoft has some drivers that will enable the screen image to be flipped.
