Forums -> Multiple monitors -> how to switch the secondary monitor between 15" LCD and TV?

Hi all,
I have a problem with multi monitor setup.
I use Leadtek Winfast GF4 ti4200 videocard, 17" LCD as primary monitor via DVI out, 15" LCD as secondary monitor via VGA out and TV via TV out.
Since the videocard can only support dual head and I use 2 monitors and 1 TV, is it possible to switch the secondary monitor between 15" LCD and TV from software (something like hotkey) without physically disconnect it?
If it's possible, please telling me step by step how to do it correctly.

Thankyou in advance for your help.

Gunawan.

Try TVTool, and let us know if it helps.

Hi Eric,
tried TVtool once before, it made my PC freeze, don't know why.
actually, I made some progress, using Ultramon to make profiles , I

can switch the secondary monitor from 1024x768 (15"LCD) to 800x600

(TV) viceversa. Unfortunately when in 800x600 mode, nothing showsup

at TV screen.
It works manually via windows display properties.
Apparently Ultramon didn't change the monitor type from analog

display to TV.
Any Idea?

Thankyou.

UltraMon currently can't switch between monitor and TV, support for this is being considered for UltraMon 3. I don't know yet if it's actually possible though.

hi Chris,
hopefully you can make it, meanwhile I use my finger to switch it manually :(
