Holla Forums, I was wondering if you could help me with this problem I have. I recently upgraded to a dual monitor setup, one LCD 16:9 Monitor, and the other CRT 4:3 Monitor. It's really great and perfect for older games or 4:3 games like Thief, emulating anything SNES, and so on. But I'm having a problem, when I want to start a game in fullscreen it defaults to my main widescreen monitor as opposed to the second one, and there's not really anyway to switch it aside from an awkward case of setting my main monitor to the second, starting the program, then if I need to do something on the other one switch the main monitor to the normal one, and repeat everytime I close out or start another program. Doing this also fucks up my icon placement everytime. Is there a better way of doing this?
there are probably command line variables you could add to the executables of whatever game you're trying to run to force it to monitor 2 but i don't know anything about that

I'm sure there is a proper and intelligent way of doing it but if you're a lazy fuck like me you download one of the many programs that allow you to handle these things easily.
I use Displayfusion and it does the job.

Guess what, your PC monitor is shit for 3rd and 4th gen console games. Get a PVM or stop wasting the desk space and wattage.

I just wanted you to know what she is saying.

you can set a primary display adapter in windows resolution settings. Maybe check your graphics card settings, I wonder if it's possible to assign specific exe files to specific monitors that way. Just throwing ideas out there.
Good luck! This is my $11,000 monitor and my 16:10 displays. 16:9 is for faggots

It doesn't really change the sentence, but remember that this is Japanese, you read it right to left. クソ兄貴 comes second, it's not where the sentence starts.
It's an Ikegami HTM-2050R, the 2070R is the successor - I just assumed it was $11K, it was probably around 12K when it was released so I was wrong when I said 11K - it was more expensive.
It's a highest-end-possible shadowmask CRT, Ikegami's primary customers were broadcast television, government contracts, and film editing studios. Their competition was Sony's BVM series - the line goes "If you had Sony you were rich, if you had Panasonic you were happy, if you had JVC you settled, and if you had Ikegami you friends high up"

Well shit, thanks for the info. What's the monitor like? How much did YOU pay?
Robert Baker
about 600 +70 shipping. I have 10 other broadcast monitors of varying sizes, here's an older picture of when I only had a few.

Come on now lad.
Real answer if that if it's a fullscreen application, to my knowledge there's no easy way to move it. You might be able to rid something up with autohotkey or something similar, but I've never seen that work.
However, Borderless Gaming is your friend. Set any game you can to windowed mode at the proper resolution, then drag it to the desired monitor and hit the maximize option in BG and it should fill to whatever screen its on.

oh, and as far as for what it's like - it weighs about 80lb, the shadowmask is gorgeous, it has native 480p/720p60/1080i30 support so I can play my classic xbox games on it perfectly and have a full progressive resolution. When you turn it on, it has an exhaust fan for active cooling, and a heatsink on the lower part of the back for passive cooling.
When you power it on every light flashes and it has a warm up period before the picture comes in perfectly - due to its age - but once it's going it is easily the most impressive monitor I've used in my life.

that's kinda sexy

I have a similar issue with a projector/monitor setup, and I ended up using this to make switching primary displays faster.
yes, the fine adjustment panel can adjust every aspect of the screen with precision to the 1000th point of accuracy, I actually use it pretty often and it makes adjusting on a per-game basis a piece of cake. Each game handles differently, although it's more on a per-system basis you need to make large adjustments, it doesn't come off as a hassle in the slightest. Plus you can have 3 custom settings saved to switch between.
