How can I have VLC display multiple full screen slide shows in multiple monitors? or is even possible... if so, is it best to use windows or linux?

You can manually start VLC instances and drag them to correct monitors.

If you want to automate the process, then --video-x and dummy interface or --no-embedded-video

Code: Select all

--video-x=<integer>        Video X coordinate
          You can enforce the position of the top left corner of the video
          window (X coordinate).

Code: Select all

--embedded-video, --no-embedded-video
                                 Embedded video (default enabled)
          Embed the video output in the main interface. (default enabled)

or if you use DirectX video output, then

Code: Select all

--directx-device={}        Name of desired display device
          In a multiple monitor configuration, you can specify the Windows
          device name of the display that you want the video window to open on.
          For example, "\\.\DISPLAY1" or "\\.\DISPLAY2".
