Dual monitor setup.

24" Samsung - use as the main monitor

40" Toshiba HDTV 1080P using DVI-HDMI hook up.

My question is, HOW do I make games and other apps run on the HDTV automatically when executed? Especially for games, I want those to load on the HDTV. Some games like PC Street Fighter 4 cannot be drag over to the TV. I would have to set the HDTV to the main monitor to see the game there..

Any ideas?? I don't want my HDTV as the main....

setting the TV as main monitor is the only way without using third party software.

you could disable your other monitor while gaming. that would also boost your FPS by 5-10 FPS. ;-)

that's freaking retarded... i set my main to HDTV.... launched a game and as soon as i moved the move to the 2nd monitor and clicked on it, the game minimized. LAME! Then what's the point of a dual screen for...damn

second monitor is good for monitoring temps while gaming, that is about it.

The huge benefit of a second monitor is when you are doing work. It can dramatically increase your productivity to have a project open on one screen and reference open on the second, or to have veiwports open on the main screen and toolbars on the second

Yeah I was gonna point this out but it seems you already found out.

Full screen gaming on one screen, as soon as you click on the other screen Windows minimizes the game, it seriously sucks, I had mine so my music was on the other screen but gave up in frustration.
