I have my PC setup with extended desktop across two monitor. Actually, the 2nd monitor is my 50" TV. When I run my DB app (in window mode) I'll get 300fps on my monitor. If even the slightest bit of the application window goes onto the TV, the frame rate drops to about 30. Same goes if the window is entirely on the TV screen. Any ideas why? It's a 1080P TV and supports 120Hz.

My other question is in regards to full screen mode and choosing which monitor it maximizes to. Any way to force it to run on the TV instead?

As far as full screen goes, I noticed it works if I set my desktop to 1920x1080. I can also do fullscreen mode in any other resolution as long as I don't rely on "set display mode" and simply use the project settings. That's not gonna work for me. This was on XP. I tried it on my laptop running Win7 and trying to run fullscreen with the "set display mode" command in place just crashes the app.
