cags Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Does anybody know of any software/tool (or even a built in feature) that will allow me to assign a shortcut to assign a specific monitor as the Primary Display? Basically when I'm browsing the web etc, I prefer to have my main monitor as my actual monitor, but when I play games I prefer to play them on my TV. Since all games appear on the Primary display I find myself constantly changing between the two. Obviously it only takes a couple of seconds to open up display properties and change it, I'm just wondering if there's a quicker way. It would be awesome if I could hot switch SLI at the same time, but since I believe that requires a restart I guess it's not going to happen.

oni-kun Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Is there not a feature with Nvidia to right click on an application and hit 'Play on TV' ? Maybe that was just for videos, but I was able to assign certain games etc. to different monitors when I had them, there must be something useful in the control panel, of course with the advances settings on.
