I seem to remember that you can override the system parameters at IPL time and
specify PLEXCFG=MONOPLEX. This should bring you up in a single system plex.
Or you can specify PLEXCFG=XCFLOCAL and not be in a plex at all.

I've got 2 32 inch LG monitors and run them at 1920X1080 - and I have a third

One tool you can use to find uncatalogued datasets is DFDSS - and you can use
TYPRUN=NORUN to just get the displays. Try using something like this:
//GUK17X EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU, PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN' ,
// REGION=4000K
//SYSUT2 DD DUMMY
You will probably have to generate member lists for both PDS's and then you can
use REXX to generate the compare JCL member by member. There may be a quicker
way with something like PDSTOOLS, but this is how I would attempt it.
