Earn a Free DisplayFusion Pro License!

August 12, 2012

Want to earn a free DisplayFusion Pro license? We're very excited to announce a new promotion that will run until the end of September. If you submit new images to WallpaperFusion and they get approved, we will send you a DisplayFusion Pro Standard license for free!

The number of images that need to be submitted and approved in order to receive your free license depends on the number of monitors that the images are suitable for:

  • Dual-Monitor Images: 15 images
  • Triple-Monitor Images: 10 images
  • Quad-Monitor Images: 6 images

We will also take into account combinations of different wallpaper sizes. For example, if you submit 5 triple-monitor wallpapers, and 7 dual-monitor wallpapers, you'll still get a free license. Don't worry if you've already submitted images, we'll include all submissions prior to the promotion as well. :)

Please don't take images from other wallpaper sites! Use only images that are your own, creative commons, share-alike or licensed for sharing. We'll be actively monitoring the submissions, and we will email you once you've submitted enough images to qualify. To get started, just login or register for an account, then start submitting images!

Update #1: A few people have asked what the criteria are for the wallpaper size (single, dual, or triple) classifications. The wallpaper sizes are determined by the aspect ratio. For example, a single-monitor image might be 1280x1024, 1680x1050 or 1920x1080. A dual-monitor image should be at least 2560x1024, 3360x1050 or 3840x1080. A triple-monitor image would be at least 3840x1024, 5040x1050 or 5760x1080. Note that when an image is designed for more monitors the width increases but the height does not. This is considered a wider aspect ratio image.

Update #2: We are not looking for any more single-monitor images, they will not count towards the total for this promotion. We have had too many single-monitor submissions, sorry.

Update #3: We have simplified the promotion rules, learn about the new requirements here: http://www.wallpaperfusion.com/News/2012/09/wallpaperfusion-promotion-updates-and-more/

Update #4: We have extended the promotion, read more about it here: http://www.wallpaperfusion.com/News/2012/09/wallpaperfusion-updates-and-new-features/

How Many Monitors Does DisplayFusion Support?

July 19, 2012
The short answer is: As many as your video card(s) and display drivers can handle.
As we'll detail in this post, we were recently able to re-test DisplayFusion with 11 monitors. We've also had customers report that DisplayFusion works well in their 12 monitor setups.
Note: Some cards have more outputs than they can physically enable at one time, which cannot be worked around using software (i.e. many cards have 3 outputs, but only 2 can be enabled at one time).
All of the DisplayFusion features worked great in the 11 monitor setup.
Certain actions, such as applying the wallpaper settings, or reloading the taskbars take a bit longer than on a 2 or 3 monitor setup, but that's to be expected, as there's a lot more work to be done behind the scenes when handling that many monitors. See the following screenshots for what the various configuration screens look like with 11 monitors attached.

Custom DisplayFusion Functions
DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration (1 Monitor Profile)
DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration (11 Monitors Profile)
DisplayFusion Screen Saver Configuration
There are some bugs in Windows when using this many monitors. The Windows Screen Resolution settings window doesn't put an ID on any monitors with an ID higher than 10. The DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration shows the monitor ID on all monitors, including ones with IDs higher than 10. Additionally, the built-in Windows Screen Savers crash (regardless of whether you configure them using Windows, or DisplayFusion) when running more than 9 monitors.
To prevent the Screen Saver crashes from showing up in DisplayFusion, we've added a check that will prevent the Windows built-in Screen Savers from being selected in the DisplayFusion Screen Saver configuration on systems that have more than 9 monitors enabled.
Windows Display Settings
While all of the DisplayFusion features are great with 2 or more monitors, we found the following features to be especially helpful when using 11 monitors:
  • Monitor Configuration: The Windows Screen Resolution settings can be a bit cumbersome to use, especially when enabling and arranging many monitors. Many of the steps require you to apply the settings before performing the next step. For example, you can select each monitor to be enabled, but then you must apply the settings before re-arranging them to the correct layout.
    The DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration feature not only allows you to enable and arrange the monitors before applying the settings, but it also allows you to save different monitor layouts as Monitor Profiles, so that they can be quickly applied with a few clicks in the future.
  • Monitor Selector and Custom Functions: When you've got 11 monitors, being able to specifically select which monitor an application should move to becomes a very handy tool. Using DisplayFusion's Functions, you can achieve this in a couple of ways.
    Using the Move Window to Different Monitor Function, which shows a monitor selector, you can choose which monitor the application should move to when running the Function.
    Move Window to Different Monitor Function
    Alternatively, you can create custom Functions that automatically move the application to a specific monitor when the Function is run, and skip the step of having to choose a monitor each time you want to move the application.
  • Mirror Monitor/Window Function: When running a system with many monitors, it's entirely possible that you may have monitors located in different physical areas, outside of your viewing range. There are two DisplayFusion Functions that can help in this situation.
    The Mirror Monitor Function will mirror the output of the selected monitor into a separate window that can be resized and moved to any other monitor. The Mirror Window Function will do the same, but it will use the output from the selected application.
