Hi,

So I might buy a dedicated OLED gaming monitor in the future which I will just use for games and have everything black when im not gaming (which is basicly turned off for OLED). Now I need software to easily load games on the OLED monitor and I was wondering if this is something that can easily be achieved with DisplayFusion?

As in can I set certain games/processes to load on a specific monitor by default?

Hi Peter,

If you are running the games in Windowed mode, our triggers should be able to help you out. You can read our guide on them here: https://www.displayfusion.com/HelpGuide/Triggers/

If you are running the games in full screen, our triggers may still work, but many games force themselves to the primary monitor and we aren't able to move them.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I think a better solution would be then use a shortcut to activate "game mode" where the primary screen is swapped to a different monitor.

Would this be possible with DisplayFusion? (Sorry just wanna make sure the software will solve my issues before I buy it)

Yep that should work, you can use our monitor profiles (guide on that here: https://www.displayfusion.com/HelpGuide/WorkingWithDisplayFusionMonitorProfiles/) to change your primary monitor.

If you would like to test it out before purchasing, just let me know and I can send over a 30 day trial key
