Hi,

Currently I'm running 3 screen or occasionally 4 (1 Monitor at my PC desk, 1 Monitor on my sim rig, 1 TV and occasionally plug in my graphics tablet). As each display has a distinct use, I only switch between each one and it's extremely rare I want to extend/duplicate displays.

The standard display options seem to be optimised for 2 displays only. I can get the standard display options to eventually give me the options to 'only display on 3' or 'only display on 4' but it's always a faff as it isn't a standard option.

I've found plenty of guides on switching between 2 monitors or setting up 3 or 4 monitors but struggling to find any info on switching between 3+ displays. I can't be the only person to switch between 3 or more monitors so I'm asking if anyone can recommend an easier way to do it or a third party app that can do it?
 
Seems like I've been plugging this a lot recently, but for multi monitor management I use displayfusion.

It allows you to set up Monitor profiles that you can switch between via an icon in the notification area or via a hotkey. There is a 30 day trial so see if it fits the bill, I think it'll have everything you need, it allows you to select which monitors to show and what order/resolution. It's quite customizable. Only issue I have is that it currently doesn't allow you to select the scaling percentage.

If you do end I buying it, I think the cheapest price is through Steam ATM, theres a sale on it strangely enough!

usually like $40!
 
Brilliant, thank you :) I don't use any display scaling so sounds perfect for what I need. I'll check it out later :)
