SOLVED: Quick toggle some monitors
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.

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.

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.
