Hi

I don't know if this would be better asked in the software forum or here, but I'll go for here first.

I currently have my TV hooked up to my PC, and use it occasionally as a secondary monitor. What I want to try and do is launch games to the TV rather than my primary monitor.

I can set my primary monitor as the TV, but the res is only 1366 x 768 so messes up all the icons/layout etc from my main monitor (1680 x 1050). Plus I don't always have my TV switched on to use as a monitor

So what I'm looking for is a way to load my games onto the TV either via some sort of software or command line changes in the shortcut?

Is this possible?

Thanks
 
I could for some games, but some dont like "windowed mode" and i have problems returning them to full screen :(
 
Both Nvidia and ATI driver software allows you to create profiles, indicating which monitor to launch on :)

you need ultramon..

Or display fusion is a bit cheaper as these are paid for apps... ultramon is very handy for dual display setups that are using different screen resolutions..

Its easier then messing about with primary display settings etc...
