Change my monitor setup with a single button?

[Skeeter]

Does anyone know of a way to change monitor setups in Windows with a single button or script or anything?

Basically I want to be able to change my primary monitor from my DVI out (monitor) to my HDMI out (TV) at the touch of a button or script. I can't run them both at the same time as I have 2 monitors attached to my PC. My monitor and TV are different resolutions too, so I can't just split the signal. I have an nVidia card, if that helps.

I've used Ultramon with a key binding to disable/enable my second screen when needed. It could probably do something for you.

WinKey+P

WinKey+P

Works for one monitor and one TV, but I have 2 monitors and a TV and want to disable a monitor and enable the TV. Win P only alters the 2 enabled monitors.

+1 for UltraMon. Fantastic piece of software

In Win 8, if I hold Winkey, then tap P (Keep holding Winkey) I can cycle through various combinations. I only have 2x monitors though, you may already know that it won't work

Yeah WinP just shows the active monitors, whereas I need to actually change which monitors are active.

Ultramon profiles work like a charm. Found a little app that changed audio outputs too, and wrote a little batch file that does both plus restarts Steam in Big Picture mode and now I have 1 button 'console mode' on my PC .

Got a link for the audio outputs changer?

Edit the config file to tell it how many devices you want to toggle through, and the order to change them. It sends the key presses to open the audio control panel and change the device.
