Forums -> UltraMon™ -> (HOW) Toggle 2 of 3 Displays

I have 2 monitors and 1 television attached to my Radeon 9700 PRO. I most often use a dual-display desktop stretched across both of the two monitors but when I watch a movie I like to switch my secondary display to the television. Currently the way that I do this is to go into tha cards display properties and change the secondary display to the TV but it can be a bit of a pain having to toggle through 3-4 windows to switch the displays. I would like to be able to do this ina single click.

Is there some way that this can be done?

UltraMon currently doesn't support switching between output to the TV or monitor.

Support for this will be considered for UltraMon 3, but I don't know yet if it can actually be done.

I hope that replying to this old thread will make it active enough to get someone's attention.

This thread was looking to allow an nVidia card -- mine is a 6200 -- to switch the Secondary Display from a monitor to a TV. That is exactly my request. The reply -- back in the day -- was that the feature would be considered for Version 3. I have downloaded the trial Version 3. Can it, or the Pro version, provide a simple way to manage what are essentially two modes of operation. The first is the EarnALiving Profile where DualView works with two monitors. The second is the TakeABreak Profile where we keep working on the Primary Display, but we want to position our favorite Video Player on the Secondary Display -- a large-screen TV.

So far, trying to do this without Ultramon has been more difficult than I imagined, and always requires re-booting and the physical plugging or un-plugging of cable adapters.

UltraMon can't do this, but the following might help: Command Line: Setting nView with multiple monitors
