How can I switch display between my LCD monitor and Plasma TV in XBMC live for Ion V1

How can I switch display between my LCD monitor and Plasma TV in XBMC live for Ion V10.
When XBMC live is running, LCD monitor works by default. I try Setting -> System Setting -> Video Output -> Display, but there is only resolution changing options. I can't switch display between LCD monitor and Plasma TV.
I have installed xbmcfreak911live v10 in a 4G USB stick. My motherboard is zotac ionitx, it has VGA, HDMI and DVI interfaces. I only use VGA connected with 22" LCD monitor and HDMI connected with 50" Plasma TV.

Question 
Anyone know anything about getting video out of the HDMI port on a Zotac IONITX-A-U?

The quote above was in response to Mysmy's question about being able to switch between 2 displays connected to the same Zotac IONITX htpc. The link you provided describes how to switch between 2 different vid cards. The issue Mysmy and I have is that the HDMI, DVI and VGA ports on the Zotac IONITX are all part of the same on-board vid card.

Does anyone know how to select which port the the display should use, or is there a way to have it use more than 1 port at the same time... I don't have a preference, really. Whichever is easier to do.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you try Nvidia settings ? Don't know about plazma and LCD but I can have old CRT monitor and LCD running at the same time or switch between them.

This is more likely nvidia driver issue and not XBMC. Try to look for answers on nvidia linux forum.
