Change monitor input from the command line

 

 

Download and run ControlMyMonitor from https://www.nirsoft.net

 

 

 Identify the monitor to control in the gui, and then run the command parameters from the command line.  Input Select parameter allows you to choose the input from the command line from the list of available input values.

Parameter 60 controls the input selection (ie VGA, HDMI1, HDMI2, DisplayPort, DVI).  Use  Trial and error to determine which # is associated with the input. 

For example:

 

To set the monitor to the Input HDMI #1

.\ControlMyMonitor /setvalue \\.\DISPLAY2\Monitor0 60 17  

 

 

To set the monitor to the Input DisplayPort #1

.\ControlMyMonitor /setvalue \\.\DISPLAY2\Monitor0 60 15
