A method and apparatus for configuring multiple displays includes determining, in connection with an image or portion thereof to be displayed on the multiple displays at the same time, whether received display preferences can be fulfilled in observance of: configuration properties of the multiple displays and configuration properties of a computing system, such as the capabilities of display controllers. The method and apparatus also determine whether a current configuration of the multiple displays to the computing system can be reconfigured such that the display preferences of the multiple displays can be fulfilled at the same time while maintaining effective configuration of a current configuration when the display preferences cannot be fulfilled, and display the images of a portion thereof on the multiple displays at the same time.
