shortcut to switch screens Solved

Question

Hello,  on a desktop computer,  with "1" being my HD TV,  and "2" being an LCD/PC monitor  I am looking to create a shortcut (key combination, to switch between "1" and "2")  to avoid having to go into the display settings and rushing to validate the new settings in the other room before the countdown ends, and also to be able to call the display in the room where I am, without seeing what I'm doing... I'm not sure if you follow me ^^ )  THANK YOU

No, it's the "windows + P" key

This opens a horizontal window with 4 different display functions!

Hi webernard,

Try checking out THIS!

Apparently it's for laptops but you never know?

The question has already been asked... But with no concrete answer!

Ps: I'm going to look for another solution ;)

unfortunately, I can't follow links outside of CCM...  but if it's Fn + F4, yes, it's only for laptops...

Right now, I'm on XP, this combination doesn't give me anything, but I'll still try it at home ;)

Yes!

Copy/Paste the link:

“While doing some research on the internet, we stumbled upon a feature in Windows 7 that might interest many. It is the keyboard shortcut "Windows + P," which allows you to easily switch from one display mode to another. A menu appears like the "ALT + Tab" or the shortcut that lets you switch between screens on laptops.

Specifically, you can display the desktop only on monitor 1, only on monitor 2, but also switch to clone mode or extended desktop. If you have Windows 7 and two displays connected to the PC (TV + projector, screen + TV, screen + projector), this feature is made for you.

Note: This tool is called "DisplaySwitch.exe," and takes into account the displays detected by Windows, which you can also configure independently from the Ati, Nvidia, or Intel control panels.”

excellent r@zer-pro :)

it's working ...

it's just a shame to have to select blindly if you're coming from the unselected screen

but it's already good, it will already be very useful for me, plus, I don't need to run alongside to confirm, and that's already great!

Thank you!

Ah there it is, I thought so!

I couldn't try it with my computer... I only have one screen so that shortcut wouldn't have worked at all... but I'm glad it makes things easier for you in some ways.

We can't all have everything either ;)

Resolved, I suppose?
