  1. Sorry if this has been covered before, but I find these things are kind of difficult to search for, but how about using a regular computer monitor and GPU instead of some special and/or dedicated USB device hooked up to a display? I'm sure there's no simple way to do this, no thanks to MS & their layer cake structure APIs and whatever, but seeing as how certain movie players, not to mention games can manipulate graphics cards and their settings, so why not an app that can interface in some way with AIDA64 and separate it from the normal multi-monitor stuff in Windows? It would be awesome to use an old monitor since they're practically sold for peanut money and these old 4:3 monitors are pretty much useless unless you're running a simple server, a Linux box or something like that. Edit: I should also point out why I would like to use a computer monitor in this manner. First of all the obvious; The size and visibility, maybe even some custom graphics would be nice too. Secondly, as simple a solution it is to just use it as a secondary (or, would-be in my case, fourth) monitor, the issue is that Windows identifies any activated GPUs/monitors and can rearrange them if the resolution is changed, like some games does and suddenly what used to be the center monitor goes on either side or somewhere else. Changed resolution on this extra monitor would also affect window-locations, possibly. Then there's the issue with screen saver and/or standby, logged out or locked screen, if used, it would display and/or black out that screen which might be undesired.
