Hello, I apologize in advance if this has been asked before but I searched the forums and googled the best I could to try to find some kind of solution.

I have my TV connected to my computer and use the "duplicate" setting to clone the image when I'm playing games. However, when I'm not playing games and using my computer for other things I like to have the TV on the news or have a bluray playing. The problem I'm having is that when I'm not using the computer for gaming, I still have a signal being sent to the TV and my computer still thinks I'm wanting to do an extended display. The only way I've found to remedy this is to remove the cable. This has been a minor problem that has become increasingly annoying as time goes on. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to "turn of" extended display without having to pull my computer out of my desk and screw with my cables every time I want to play a game on my TV.

Any help is appreciated!
