Leave HDMI enabled? Monitors moving around on power down/on

pjsmith · 10-04-2014, 06:47 AM

Hi,

I have a four monitor setup. 2 monitor on a video card, 2 on displaylink adpater (1 HDMI TV, 1 DVI monitor).

My problem is that when the TV is turned on/off, windows 7 detects the monitor and moves all my monitors around. This does not happen with the hdmi monitor which I have in portrait mode. The problem is that the portrait monitor moves and becomes landscape if you turn off the TV and the monitors loose their application windows (they end up on a hidden monitor).

Is there a way to stop all the monitors giggling around and resetting as they are turned off and on?

Hi,

Windows will dictate what happens here but Actual Multiple Monitors http://www.displaylink.com/support/tools.php may have a way round this.

Thanks,
James
