I have 3 displays:

  • 1 control display I can see
  • 2 40" Full HD displays I can't see

my need is to play videos and presentations fullscreen on the two 40" screens while being able to control them from the control display.

So far I am able to achieve this with a cumbersome set of keyboard shortcuts like:

  • open VLC on control display
  • send to left display with Win + Shift + Left
  • go fullscreen with f

and more combinations to restore, get VLC on control display etc.

This is really error prone and not professional.

Also I wish I have a media player and a slideshow player that can:

  • send the same video / slideshow to the two 40" displays at the same time
  • send two different videos / slideshows, one each 40" display

having all controls on the central display, the only one I can see.

Any advice welcome, thank you for your support.
