ubuntu - change primary display

Recently just got an dual monitor setup for my workstation. As my setup consist of a notebook and 1 external monitor; the default primary screen are to my notebook screen and I wanted to change it to my external monitor as the primary and I notice that there is not such option in the Display / Monitor option, only clone setup are available. 

After a goggling attempt I found an easy way :-

At Terminal you can just do : xrandr (it will display a list of available output)

type in : xrandr --output HDMI-0 --primary    (as i wanted my HDMI out connection to my Monitor as primary)
