I recently purchased a TV for my PC setup (Now 2 monitors side by side + TV above) and have set the TV to mirror monitor #1. Both monitors connected via DVI, TV by HDMI. All into graphics card (if that information is relevant)
Whenever I turn on the TV all of the screens go black for about a second as if it's changing the resolution of everything. This happens again when I turn the TV off. That's only a minor annoyance, but it will do it a few more times after turning the TV off like a minute later or more which is very jarring to say the least.
Upon watching the screen resolution window I captured what exactly is happening (Images below)

It appears as if the TV is being detected and disappearing. I guess this makes sense for the TV to disappear when turned off, but it appears and disappears multiple times after the fact. Also my second monitor goes from being display 2, to being display 3 when the TV is connected. I guess that's the way it's plugged into the graphics card, but that's just the way it has to be (concerning connections) and I don't think that really affects anything. Btw I tried plugging the TV into the motherboard ports, but that wouldn't allow me to use it as a mirror.
So, any ideas on how to stop it from acting this way?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
