How do I designate a monitor for LR?

[PokerDad]

Okay, so this might sound a bit foolish coming from me, but I have many monitors that I use when playing poker (how can someone be limited to just one screen?) - and now that I'm using my primary machine to play lessons, I haven't figured out how to designate which monitor it plays on. Any ideas?

Your largest. I went from a desktop to a notebook. Readingbear and LR are both better on a larger screen.  I like the notebook, it means you can carry it to a bed to snuggle and watch files, but somethings are just not as good on a small screen.

My monitors are all the same size. I open LR on one screen, and then the presentations show on another. Due to the layout, there's definitely a benefit to choosing which screen this displays on. Right now it will work, but it's not optimal

Well, you are over my head now......

Hi PokerDad,

Are you running Windows 7? I think there's a Display option where you can choose your primary desktop monitor and then choose the other one to be secondary.
(Btw, I agree with you on needing 2 monitors. )

Try following this path:
Start > Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Display > Screen Resolution

If you have two (or more) monitors connected, I think you can select which one you want to have your program and which one it will play on. You can also switch these by trial and error, I think.

Hope this helps. I'm not entirely sure if this is the kind of solution you're looking for, but hoping I might have hit the right note.

Thank you for your help.

On a hunch, I decided to drag the short cut icon to the screen where I wanted the presentation to play and it worked. I have all my icons on the left most screen and then a few poker client icons on the right most screen (that's usually turned off when I'm not grinding poker hands since I don't need THAT many screens ha ha) and LR kept wanting to play on the left most screen so I figured the two were correlated somehow.... so I'll just have icons on an otherwise clean screen, no problem there.

Thanks again!
