    Screen that is set to main screen, is not the one that is active when I select "pc screen...


    eventhough my main screen has the check mark "make this my main screen" selected, when I switch from having two screens active to "pc screen only", only my second screen is active. When i select "Second screen only" my main screen is active. So basically they are inverse, even though my main is the main.

    :)

    Poll: Desktop Screen Size

    This goes along with my Desktop Screen Res poll. A lot of people have been posting their monitor size in addition to voting in the poll, but I wanted to make an actual poll to put the screen size votes in a more easily readable format.

    This is for desktop systems, not laptops. I've tried to include all screen sizes that people are likely to have; if yours is not listed, round up. If you have multiple, different-sized screens, check all that apply. I've also listed projectors as an option.

    I didn't list individual sizes over 32" as these are typically not intended as PC monitors; just select "Larger."
