How to change default video output ?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I use A11 unlocked BIOS and I would like to use HDMI output as default/primary video output after power on my Alienware M17x-R4.

Is this possible ?

Thank you in advance,

sincerely,

eivan.

hey eivan,

i use a 42" tv as my default monitor. All you have to do is set your computer to not go to sleep when the lid is shut, set your monitors up in windows and close the lid!

when you boot you will have a blank display until the windows log in screen, but unless you are working in the bios or dos or something every day it should be sufficient.

This is true all you need to do is enable both displays then set the TV as Primary display, then disable the internal display. Works on Windows 7 and 8.1 etc just the same :)

If you want to show the startup bios etc. to show up via HDMI that is impossible. But I have this setup and all you have to do is set "change what closing the lid does" on 'nothing'. If you got problems you can check AMD catalyst center for display settings. Desktop management --> creating and arranging Desktops.
