Multi-monitor true full screen Hello all!
I have a project I'm doing where I have up to 5 monitors. I have a video that I want to play, but I want it to be FULL SCREEN and stretched to every screen.
Is there a software that can do this? I know I could just pull the edges of the window to fit, but that will look tacky and is unacceptable.
I know there are hardware solutions, but I would prefer software.
Thanks!

Eyfinity from AMD but it's a combination of both. You need a GPU that will support multi-monitors and a PSU that can power all the above mentioned hardware. Check out the link and the videos they have.
Yes, there is software that does stretch images across multiple screens. UltraMon, Display Fusion and MultiMon are just a few. Some are free, others are trial versions but most you have to pay for.

Thanks. The Eyefinity looks good, but, sadly, I have an Nvidia graphics card, so it will not work. Also, those other software solutions look different from what I want. Is there a feature for one of them that allows full screen (multi-monitor) support (for video)?
