In-game, type the following /console gxMonitor setting
Alternatively, you can exit wow, open the Config.wtf file, and add the following line: SET gxMonitor setting
You can get World of Warcraft to play in a Windowed (Full Screen) mode on multiple monitors using this in macros. Performance may drop dramatically depending on your system and monitor sizes. Examples below:
/console gxWindow 1 /console gxMaximize 1 /console gxMonitor 1 /console gxrestart
- Monitor 1
/console gxWindow 1 /console gxMaximize 1 /console gxMonitor 2 /console gxrestart
- Monitor 2
