Use 2 of 3 Monitors in Full Screen

I'm using Parallels 8 and OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). I use Parallels in Fullscreen mode and have no problems with my three monitors. (1 laptop retina, 2 external Dells)

What I would love to do is to leave my laptop retina screen as OSX all of the time, but have the external monitors run in fullscreen mode for my Parallels sessions.

I'm assuming this is not possible, but I'm hoping. Any ideas?

Hi,

I do not think it is possible. I purchased mainly for that reason P9/OS X 10.9 for my 3 monitors. This combination allows to configure OS X with "Displays have separate spaces". P9 in mode full screen. Windows covers actually all three monitors, but each monitor is able to show it own OS X space. So I am using actually two monitor full screen for Windows and one for OS X or whatever combination I like. This a very good workaround.

Thanks for confirming. I ended up going to Coherence at times and windowed at other times.
