Currently I have a three monitor setup on my desk. I also have a TV connected via HDMI. When I want to just watch the TV how can I tell windows to only show the TV? Currently I have to manually turn off every single monitor every time which is a pain. And the built in "second screen only" option doesn't work when you have multiple displays. When I try that option it shows two of my desktop monitors and my TV.
I use Windows 8 and I have an NVIDIA GeForce 670 graphics card.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I understand that it doesn't take long to turn off each monitor, but I would rather do it on the software level. The way windows works with two monitors is fantastic because when you select "second screen only" it signals the monitor to sleep until you go back to "extended" which doesn't require the monitor to turn off. Plus since I use my TV a lot, having to turn off each monitor every single time I want to watch my TV is a huge inconvenience. Perhaps there is additional software or something that can do this?
Edit: DisplayFusion fixed my issue.
