[QUOTE="Dnovelta, post: 1081985, member: 165232"] So I've got a late '09 MBP running 10.6.4. I've got it hooked up to a Samsung HDTV and for the most part the dual screen setup is working flawlessly. My question is, is there any way to make the HDTV the "primary" screen to use when I decide to make something fullscreen? When I choose to make videos fullscreen, it goes to my 15" screen rather than my 26". When I go to play Counterstrike, the game is playable only on my 15" screen, not my 26" screen. It's not a huge issue as I can just mirror the screens for the duration I want to play (rather not have to for movies personally). I've tried going into the display settings and making it so the dock is on the 26", but that doesn't work. I get the same issue when I play games off a CD (Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour).
