Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Disabling + Switching Primary Monitor on Alternate Source

Hey guys,

I just got UltraMon and it's great.
But I was wondering if you could tell me how to do something (if it's possible.)

I have my PC hooked up to two monitors. The left monitor is my primary, and the right is my secondary.
I hook up my PS4 to the left monitor, and I'd like to be able to disable it while it's on a different source because I can't see it, and for my PC to behave as if I had only one monitor (the right one) and switch back when I change sources again.
Because while it's still hooked up, there are windows that are on the primary monitor that I can't use.

I came up with a workaround that uses a hotkey to move windows, but obviously that's not optimal.

TL;DR:
How do you easily/automatically disable a monitor when the source of it is switched?

I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks for reading! Have a nice day.

You could do this with display profiles, right-click the UltraMon icon in the system tray and select Display Profiles from the menu. You can then create two profiles, one with both monitors enabled and the left as primary, and a second one with only the right monitor enabled.

Glad to hear you like UltraMon!
