Hey everyone! I've got 3 monitors total but my 2 side ones that I don't game on are actually smaller HD TV's. Both about 19 inches and 720p. They are both cheapo TV's. One's a Sanyo and the other is a Sansui. Both connected to my GTX 1070 VIA HDMI. No adapters or converters. I was wondering if it was possible to force them to wake up with my PC just like my main monitor does. My main monitor is an ASUS 144hz actual monitor connected VIA DVI-D. It's a little bothersome to turn them both on when my PC falls asleep or I'm turning it on for the first time. Tried looking it up but I had no luck. I looked thru both of the TV's menus and didn't see anything. Maybe there is something I can do on the PC side? Thanks!

It really depends on the TV. If it has HDMI-CEC, it will be possible. Here is a guide that follows how to use it for a ChromeCast, however it should be the same in practice. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-turn-your-tv-on-with-chromecast/
