Sort of.

Long ago we wrote our own app for that. It's not too hard today, at least not as hard as it was in 2000.

Good idea

Thanks Bob.

I didn't think of that approach. Do you have any good online or downloadable software recommendations for creating it?

Thanks

I can't be sure of the skill level but Visual Basic Express

Is free and supports multiple monitors.

So it's a matter of an app that has buttons (many many tutorials on that) then child windows on each display that you tell what to show. Image boxes or Web browser boxes in those.

OR one app with the buttons and an app for each screen and the button sends a message to the other apps.
