Title: Toggle blacking out other monitors [MAC]
Post by: oohhboy on March 23, 2013, 18:10

It pretty much says it in the title. I like to play on full screen, but I sometimes don't want the other monitor to black out because I have something else running on it. The current work around is to run it in window mode.

Do other games that run fullscreen black out the other screen? If so, then it's probably not trivial to bypass. If they don't, it unfortunately might be a gimmick of the underlying graphics library. In either case I probably can't do anything about it :/.

It varies. Some games do black it out while others don't. The Source games like L4D2 doesn't black out the screens but on average more games do black out the other screen for what I assume are performance reasons. Whether it is a trivial toggle or not, I don't know.

Thanks for looking into this request all the same.
