SOLVED: Quick toggle some monitors

(1/2) > >>

mouser:
I have a 4-monitor pc setup.  Occasionally when I watch a full screen movie or play a game, I'd like to turn off all but one of my monitors.
I'd love a little system tray utility with a hotkey (and right-click menu?) that could toggle a configurable set of my monitors on and off.

wraith808:
You mean hardware toggle?  Or just blank out.

skwire:
This is actually pretty tricky programmatically.  I'd recommend using Nir Sofer's MultiMonitorTool program.  It's a GUI program, but fully commandline controllable.  You could easily create a toggle shortcut like this:


--- ---c:\path\to\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SwitchOffOn 2 3 4

Of course, run the tool first to get the proper monitor numbers.

mouser:
Thanks skwire, looks like MuliMonitorTool will do exactly what I want  :up:
I will report.

Right on.  I'm sure you'll find out soon enough but, to work properly, the monitors would have to be DDC/CI capable.
