Display status agents executing on plural information handling systems coordinate presentation of visual images at plural displays by plural information handling systems through a display status memory external to the plural information handling systems, such as at a network location, a docking station or the displays. By referencing the display status memory, each display status agent determines information handling systems interfaced with each display and selects displays to present visual information based upon end user preferences to minimize manual interactions by an end user to accomplish a desired display presentation configuration.
