Forums -> UltraMon™ -> 2 monitors, 2 different resolutions, only 1 at time

I have a plasma tv 1280 x 720 and a 17" montitor 1280 x 1024. I have maded 2 profiles with each resolution, but I only want them to me usen 1 at the time. Now they are like dual view on Nvidia, so If I only want to use the 17" to music I can use that, and if I want to see movie on televison I can look on tv. Now I can change between which is primary, but I would like secondary to be turn off when primary are on and opposite.
I can´t get that to work, then I just turn off the other one, but when I then start Media center on 17" the it open the window on tv screen, and then I can´t use it. Is it possible to have to screens connected with different resolutions and only one at time, maby some hot keys to switch between them?

That should work fine, does your display profile both change the primary monitor and disable the secondary?

It kind of work. When I change from the monitor 2 to monitor 1, monitor 2 losing signal and goes black, as I want i to. Then when I go from Monitor 1 back to 2, then Monitor 2 change to (dual view mode) So I get this big desktop insteed of go black. where do I go wrong?

Do you have the UltraMon display profile configured to also disable the secondary monitor?

yeah I tried that, still not working. I deleted my two profiles and tried make some new. This time I tried to set my TV as primary, and it work fine first time then it make a duel view after. If I right click on the Ikon and set the secondary to disable then I can´t switch monitor. So Actually I don´t know what to do. I just want to switch between two monitor with different resolution and one at the time.

I don´t know how to make it disable?
When I go to manage profiles, then I set 1 monitor to primary and enable. Then this monitor is alone, Now I load the other profiles and it switch monitor, then I can select manage profiles and do the same. but when I have switch from the primary to secondary and back again then it enable again. I don´t know why?

To set this up, select Display Profiles > New Display Profile from the UltraMon menu, then select monitor 1, make sure enabled and primary are checked, then select monitor 2 and uncheck the enabled option.

Now create a second display profile, with everything reversed: monitor 2 is set as primary and enabled, and monitor 1 is not enabled.

You can then switch between profiles by selecting the profile from UltraMon menu > Display Profiles.
