Hello,
I currently have two screens for my PC (a PC monitor and a TV screen). My PC monitor is my main one with the start menu, icons, and everything. I recently downloaded Ultramon to have a taskbar on my TV. What I would like is to be able to play a game in full screen (by this I mean games that automatically launch in full screen, e.g. Age of Empires, CSS, LoL, WoW, Alien Wars...) on my TV screen. I have already tried to set the launcher (e.g. for CSS, launching Steam) on my second screen (the TV screen) and the game (CSS) launched on my PC monitor. To be clear, I would like to keep my PC monitor 'free' and have the full-screen games on my TV screen (which, by the way, would improve the quality).
Let me know if you didn't understand or what you didn't understand.
Thank you.

"The simple thing to do this is in the display settings (right-click on the desktop for the lazy) in the menu you can change the system resolution and choose the main display screen, you can switch from one to the other, extend the desktop or disable one of the two."
"Hmmmmm.. what I mean is that I would like my main screen (where my icons are... the start menu) to remain free!! and that I play on the other screen (TV screen). I don't want my TV screen to sometimes become my main screen, because 1) all my icons get moved 2) I watch TV with my TV (so playing + watching TV on the same screen.... rather hard)."
"\"By the way, it would improve the quality\" - it's true and false, true in the case where the TV resolution is better, false since the display is managed by the graphics card, if it is not powerful enough, there are hitches in-game."
"It is indeed true and false, yes my TV is bigger (so a higher resolution) and I think my graphics card will be able to support it."
