I have three monitor setup, sometime i just need only one of the external displays active.

Is there are shortcut or a software to do this.

i don't want to go to screen resolution option every time to disable the monitors.

Nope that will not work, these options work good only if you only one additional screen.

My laptop is connected to my monitor and TV, sometime i just want the output on my monitor alone, sometime on the TV alone... need option to switch between these.. in Screen resolution there is a option 'Show desktop only on 2' and 'Show desktop only on 3'

Hello Depakjan,

I suppose that you could press the power button on the monitors that you do not want to use to no longer have them show up, then turn them back on when you do.

Thanks, but still this is not what i want... "Second screen only" enables both my tv and monitor ... i just want one of the displays to be active at a time ... when i am browsing i just want my monitor output... when i am watching movies ... just the TV...

As i said earlier ... Screen resolution has this option... "Show only on desktop 2" , "Show only on desktop 3" ... was just wondering if there is any shortcut for these options.

OK, I've got you now, and I don't have an answer, sorry. It's not something I ever do.
