  1. Multiple Monitor / TV as primary


    So I use a tv as my primary monitor, but coming out of hibernate (with other monitors off) my windows often migrate to one of my powered-off displays. Any suggestions for constraining this kind of behavior from the OS?

  3. No display on monitor when TV set as primary display

    Issue: incorrect multiple display setting. Unable reset display setting with a monitor black screen.
    No sound from TV due to AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In.

    The monitor goes black because the TV is the primary display

    When VGA is connected to Syba VGA HD15+ 3.5 Audio to HDMI converter
    to TV, monitor screen goes black with no source signal showing. VGA No Signal"
    message means my monitor is working okay but is not getting a signal from my
    computer. This is expected since my monitor is DVI connected to computer HDMI port not a VGA port.

    Now when the VGA cable is disconnected, the pc monitor
    screen is display. The problem is I can't reset display
    with a black monitor screen with no source signal. IF I click on detect, computer is not detecting the TV. No squre 1 and 2 is shown. I'm able to watch TV with a black pc monitor screen and sound coming from PC.

    I think this what happen: Since the computer was coneccted to TV while being reset and installing Windows 10 it was formatted as the primary display. I did to undo this setting

    Before resetting my computer and updating Windows 10, I was able to connect computer to TV.
    I was able to go to display settings menu. Click on Detect. which told the computer to look for the TV I was connected to. There
    were two squares, labeled 1 and 2, in the display settings window. Computer detected my TV.
    Display 1-TV, Display 2- monitor. I selected 2/1. I was able to watch everything on the TV with the sound coming from the computer. The only issue I had was no sound from TV. Reason:
    AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In

    Control window logo +P shows project: extend, duplicate etc.

    The Radeon setting it shows : Display 1 spec(hp 2011, dvi-d(AMD Radeon (tm) r4 graphics))

    monitor connection: DVI with HDMI connected to tower

    VGA from computer tower to converter, HDMI from converter to TV

    TV input: HDMI

    How can I reset display options? Do I need to reinstall Windows 10? Will Windows 10 fix the problem?

  4. Multiple Monitor / TV as primary

    Cant set TV as my Primary Monitor

    Original title: Monitor Switch

    Alright so I have just set up a TV and I want it to be my primary monitor (The TV brand is SEIKI.) but no matter what I do, it sets it as the secondary monitor. I have tried switching cables but it sets it up as secondary.

    Now I might know that the problem is that it is a TV, but I need to change it because of how I have everything set up.
