Behold, borderless window, kinda

[RadTT]

1. Set your settings in game to windowed mode and make the resolution match your monitor's native resolution.
2. Save these settings and exit out of the game.
3. Find the userconfig.properties file in <yourSteamAppsFolder>/common/Dark Souls II/Game/ and open it up with notepad.
4. You'll probably see only 2 settings (I did). If there are more than 2, you'll want to replace only these 2 most likely. Find:

App.Window.X = 0
App.Window.Y = 0

and change it to something like:

App.Window.X = -5
App.Window.Y = -32

5. Save the file, start up the game.

This shifts the default window position of the game to sit where it's "borderless." You might have to adjust those values to work for you, but these are perfect for my monitor.

Enjoy!

*Update* Some additional info that could be useful to someone:

This will also fix the HDMI issue. Set your other VGA/DVI monitor to primary; set dark souls to window mode and just drag it over to the HDMI monitor.
