Im pretty computer savvy and have 2 IPS screens and a Benq w1000+ projector. I understand that I can drag stuff around but is there a particular function where I can easily choose what monitor a full screen game is played on?

I know I can change the projector to the main monitor but to do that is annoying and it changes where the task bar is, plus I dont always want it to be the primary so its a lot of messing around.

I currently use Ultramon but from what I can see there isnt an option.
 
As I don't play any games on computer I don't know, but when watching a video I can just drag the Media Player from one screen to the other.
 
i run 3 monitors, I have to run them in eyefinity mode to use all three at once (5760x1080)
u should be able to use extended desktop in windows but youll only be able to use 2 of the 3 pieces of hardware at any one time. Then you select which screen you want as primary and you're off :)
 
ah perhaps I wasnt too clear in my original post. I can move windows around the desktop without a problem. Im running 2 monitors and a projector all at once. The monitors through the DVI ports and the projector through the HDMI. They all work at the same time so that is not an issue. I could run 4 pieces of hardware at the same time if I wanted to as my card has 2 x dvi, 1 x hdmi and 1 x Displayport.

The problem im having is that when running a Full screen Game it loads on the primary monitor.

The question is how can I have a choice in which monitor the full screen game loads onto without changing which the primary monitor is.

I hope thats a little clearer.
 
It defaults to the primary, I'm afraid. You could duplicate one of the monitors to the projector and then use the monitor and projector as the primary

I dont think you can, like you say it always defaults to the primary display. Unless the game has an option for switching screens you could try something like display fusion? Not sure how it works with games though
 
Thanks guys, the only game ive seen so far which will let you choose is Rage which is kind of a pile of ..
