I have 3 screens and playing MWO on 3 screens is great. Since UI 2.0, the video settings also affect the Lobby (not before): the Lobby is not design / tested on 3 screens and the result is not always very user friendly. Also, It now prevent to see / use other Windows (like Smurfy) when in the Lobby.

I do not know how many players that have 3 screens but for those that do, having the ability to use separate video settings is almost a must.

have no idea if this'l work, if you are using DX9 (it didn't work for me when i tried DX11), in settings set it to 'windowed mode', and [alt-enter] in and out of windowed mode when you play. not the best solution, but possibly better than nothing

I tried this but, you take a huge FPS hit when not using fullscreen, even more with 3 screens... not a viable solution for me. Thanks any way :-)

Big +1 from me, the way the old UI worked windowed in the mechlab then went to fullscreen was just fine thankyou very much. Not to mention that the new mechlab is borderline broken at 6000px wide.
