Hey friends and super nerds! 
I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out an easy way to toggle a display on and off on my computer.

Basically I have 3 monitors and a big TCL 50S425 above my desk. I don’t keep the TV on 100% of the time, as it’s really meant for Gaming while I’m in my bed. When not in use I usually turn the TV off, but my computer still recognizes it as powered on— it’s a smart TV so it’s likely running something in the background that’s being detected by my computer. This can be frustrating as I would just like to easily toggle when the display is on/off. I have tried the built in (windows) + P but it shuts off my side monitors as well. Does anyone have some suggestions of easy things to do to toggle the TV (and only the TV) on or off? Is there a program/ script that can do this, or better yet, a way to make the TV go all the way off (I’ve dug really deep into the settings and haven’t found anything.) Is there another solution I’m not seeing?
love to hear from you guys and Thanks in advance!
