Running on a second display

https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic35805.aspx

Dear Dave,

I would like to ask if there is a way to implement running the whole experiment on the second display? I searched and found that inquisit4 doesn't seem to support it, and I'm wondering if there is now a viable way to do this.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best,
Olivia

You can use the monitor attribute to specify the display stimuli are presented on. But the better and easier option is to simply set the display you want the experiment to be used for the experiment as the system's primary display via the operating system's settings.

Hi Dave,

Thank you so much for your reply.
However, we wanted the entire experiment to be presented on the second display rather than a few specific stimuli, and because of our experimental design, we were unable to set the second screen that subjects faced as the main screen. But that doesn't seem to work at the moment, does it?
ps: we are using the cyberball_3Player paradigm

> we were unable to set the second screen that subjects faced as the main screen

Why is that?

Why is that?

This experiment contains a few other steps in addition to the cyberball that require a research assistant to manipulate the main screen to complete.

I just tested it and I can get all the stimuli to be presented on the second display, but the main screen goes white during the run, but that should be enough.

Thanks again for your help!
