I'am using a notebook and try to display a movie on my TV. In other threads I
saw the helpful posts to make the TV as my primary monitor. But in my display
properties the pc (notebook) the text " Use this device..." and "Extend my
Win desktop.." is gray, so I can not change the TV in my primary monitor.
The second display (TV) has also the grayed text " Use this device...". How
can I change the TV to a primary monitor?

ensure you have the latest graphics drivers from the laptop manufacturer,
and you are using their wizard for display settings.
