Only", which would be the logical choice, Windows switches solely to my TV. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but it means that should I decide to use the Winkey+P shortcut to disable my TV, I have to click "Projector Only". Weird thing is, whenever I connect my TV, Windows likes to think it'sĪ good idea to reassign my monitor's identity to 2 and assign 1 to my TV.
Normally I only have my monitor connected to my PC (via DVI), but occasionally I like to enable my TV (via DVI->HDMI adapter) as a secondary monitor to watch films or play games. So, my question is: Is there any way to manually reassign monitor identities, be it through a control panel applet or the registry and have them stick, or maybe tell Windows that the monitor named "SAMSUNG" is a friggin' TV or Projector and not my primary display? Primary display: Acer AL1916W Secondary: Samsung 32" LCD TV Video Card: ATI HD4870 X2, Catalyst 9.12 I've tried swapping the cables, and even hooking up the TV after the computer has booted, and it seems like the moment I hook up the TV, Windows auto-detects the displays and reassigns identities as it sees fit. If I click "Computer Only", which would be the logical choice, Windows switches solely to my TV.
