Bios monitor select

Hello I have just built myself a system with a msi intel x79 mobo using click bios; I want to know if there is a way to change the display monitor so I don't have to unplug one of them to force use of one so that I can actually see wih proper resolution; all drivers and firmware are upto date thank you for your time.
 
? wouldn't that be something you'd do in windows? or your display driver?
with windows 7
right click on desktop
screen resolution
select your primary display?
 
Yes however that is only for the OS everytime I reboot the bios uses the other monitor and the display resolution puts the image mostly off screen therefore I have to unplug it everytime I need to adjust biosphere or RAID settings
 
so they use different inputs correct?
the bios is using the 20" CRT instead of the IPS?

it seems many mobos default to a specific input i.e. VGA
maybe you can connect the CRT to your video card using another input or swap ports? i.e.vga -> dvi

the x79 doesn't use integrated graphics right?
what GPU are the monitors plugged into

The LCD is on a Display Port the CRT is using DVI-D to VGA and the card supports one additional DP however I'm not sure there is a DP to VGA adapter, yes I agree with you
