No, I think you can display on both monitors simultaneously.  For example,
if you had an MDA in the system with a CGA (for example), you could configure
a TSR like SideKick to pop up on the monochrome monitor, while something
else was displayed on the colour monitor.  As another example, I understand
that 123, for example, can display text on one monitor and graphs on another
monitor.  (I got the impression that you could change numbers in the
spreadsheet on one monitor, and see them reflected on the other, but I may
be wrong on this point.)
