Hello,
I have 2 LCD-TVs connected to my HTPC, one in the living room, one in the sleeping room.
I only use one display at a time.
My problem is, that I cannot duplicate desktop in Windows, I don't know why....so XBMC is either displayed on LCD 1 OR LCD 2.
Is there any way to display XBMC on 2 screens?

Display cloning is possible only if both displays support the same resolution. Also some motherboard gpus will support display in only dvi or hdmi at the same time.

As a side note: Cloning is possible with different resolutions supported and is pretty common with 1920 x 1200 cloned 1920 x 1080 it's the 1080 dimension that gets stretched to 1200 pixels. I suppose if the primary & secondary was switched it might be the reverse, but I haven't confirmed that. As baijuxavior noted most of this is highly dependant on the graphic card in place.

I got it work with Displayswitch.exe
Can someone tell me if it is possible to switch between 3 displays with Displayswitch? Cause there is only ONE Internal and ONE External screen to choose from....?

This would be a limitation of the graphic card or system you are using (obviously you would need 3 separate individual ports) and the graphic drivers supplied by the manufacturer. You'll have to do your own homework on this, look at the links I left in depth, many gamers use a 3 monitor set-up.
