I have no driver issues or anything like that. Mainly, I'm wondering if there's a an easy way to go between two different display configurations. I have one monitor wall-mounted above my treadmill, and two monitors on my desk. They all work fine together, but I'd like to find a way to easily disable my desk ones when I'm on my treadmill and my wall-mounted monitor when I'm at my desk.

This is the only way I know of at this time - https://github.com/Eun/DisableMonitor

I would greatly appreciate suggestions.
Thanks!
 
Only other option I can think of is an HDMI switch but I have no idea if it works in your configuration or if it will work because it is basically hot plugging.
 
If that DisableMonitor utility you found works, then I suspect it's the best option.

Yeah, it looks like I'll be writing a script for each configuration.

That is a really cool idea. The two on my desk are DisplayPort, and the one on my wall is HDMI. I honestly didn't know these switches did exist.

I'll likely just be using DisableMonitor. Mainly, I wanted to see if others had similar situations requiring them to use software to disable monitors.

Thanks
