Hey!
I've been having the same exact dilemma!
I've been looking for some kind of software that can allow you to choose
which screen to play a game on, even if the game doesn't support it from
in-game options.

I think.. the ONLY way i see this being done feasibly is to have some
kind of launcher that changes the primary display to the 32" screen
before launching the game, then resets back the settings once you exit
the game.

i'm sure someone with basic programming skills can devise this kind of
app!?
... anyone?

There is no really easy way to do this. The only way that it could
feasably be done would be to pass keyboard signals to the computer,
to open up Display Properties and make the necessary changes, all
through the automated keyboard.

You're thinking as in some kind of macro playback thing?.. hmm.. well
since my post I tried fiddling about with a program called Ultramon. a
feature of this prog is that it can save a kind of customized display
setting to a file which changes to it upon double click (or run).. so
what i did was set 2 profile settings, one with TV as primary then
another with 19" monitor as primary.. then in notepad typed in
something like this:

c:\(path and filename to TV as primary)
c:\(path and filename to game exe file)
c:\(path and filename to monitor as primary)

save this as a .bat file and use it as a launcher of the game you
wanna see full screen on the TV :-D

i guess, this is the closest we'll ever get.

The problem is that there is no official API for the job. Some people
have reverse engineered an API, but these go out of date and are often
riddled with bugs. I will look into that program and see how it works.
