Independent Monitor Display

Hello everyone...What i am about to ask i think is not possible on the iMac. I have seen several posts where people ask the same question but others do not seam to understand the question and no one was able to give a correct answer.

Here is my question....I have just connected my imac to a samsung tv using thunderbold+hdmi adapter, I know how to use mirror and non-mirror display however what i really want to achieve is to have two independent screens, just like having two different imacs. For example when using my main screen and slide through the various windows i do not want the secondary screen to slide.Similarly when i take my mouse over to the secondary screen and slide through the same windows ii do not want the main screen to slide. Basically i want to have two main screens, is this possible? if not this would be a very nice feature to have.

 

Hi,

Yes thats what i need, two desktops, two main monitors...do you know if the slide feature on the apple mouse can be used independently? so when i slide through the various open windows on one screen i want the other screen not to slide

I am using mac os x lion 10.7.5, i just created another desktop using the mission control, but i do not think that this is what i am looking for. is this what you are talking about with the maverick?

 

Thanks that sounds great, i will give it a try
