I've been using my 60" DLP as my primary display for the past year almost. I'm wanting to use a smaller LCD as a primary display and just use the DLP for games and movies, to save on lamp life and just because its easier to read stuff on an LCD IMO. I have both displays connected via DVI and i'm just wondering if there is a way to set things up so that when i launch a game it launches on my DLP, even tho its secondary, instead of my primary. As it is now, i have to switch which monitor is my primary display manually in windows before i can play anything on the DLP in fullscreen.
I guess another acceptable solution would be a way to quickly toggle my primary display back and forth between the monitors. So when i want to play something just hit a hotkey or something and my DLP becomes primary so i can run fullscreen game on it and my LCD becomes secondary.

Another thing that I really want is a keyboard shortcut to toggle between which display is the primary display. Sometimes, when watching a movie at night on the big screen i'll want to switch off the LCD to get rid of extra light, so i set the DLP as my primary desktop. But then in the morning i usually want to just turn the LCD on to check my email and stuff, but i can't access the stuff because its all on my DLP still. So a hotkey or something to toggle between the two would be nice.
