What I'm looking for is a program that can change display settings quickly. I have two monitors running most of them time but when I want to watch DVD's then I change the video card to TV-Out and watch it on my TV. Because I have two monitors and the TV-Out card is the primary I have to change a hell of a lot of display options. I have to switch which one is the primary monitor and then change it to TV Out. I want something that can save both sets of display options I have and has an easy way to switch between them. I tried TV Tool already but that program doesn't do what I need. nView doesn't work either. Anyone got any other programs that can do this.

Something that supports dual monitors and TV Out.

It kind of helps. I got a program called SmartBarXP and it's not exactly what I was looking for but it helps.

Also one more thing I need to find is a program like TV Tool that can remove the black outline on the TV when you use TV Out. TV Tool doesn't like dual monitors so I need something else to accomplish it.

I have svideo out and i installed some ati drivers that allows me to switch from any 2 monitors or a tv with svideo in.. I dont use any programs and i can switch between them quick.. also it saves the settings for each monitor or tv i use..

I don't have ATI cards, both are nVidia.

nView is a piece of crap, it doesn't do anything with TV Out options. It's only got dual monitor/desktop junk in it.

nview is just being crap cos Nvidea got into trouble because it made it way too easy to copy DVD's or downloaded movies to video. It's just them doing their part to stop piracy.....
