Hi

I have a GeForce GTX 1060 GDDR5 videocard (2xDVI-D, 1xHDMI-2.0b, 1xDisplay Port 1.4 outputs) in my PC and would like to know if I could run my two 24 inch monitors (Samsung S24D330H, one with an HDMI-DVI cable, one with HDMI-DisplayPort) as well as a TV (thinking of the 31 inch Samsung UE32N4002 or 42 inch LG 43UM7100PLB, either way with a regular HDMI cable) from it when I move into a new flat.

I would not need them all at once if that's an issue, if the TV's input is the HDMI then the 2 monitors can be ignored (PC on the gallery, TV downstairs ~10m cablelength from it). In this case I would like to know if there's a way to automatically switch off the 2 monitors if the TV starts accepting signal.

I would like to be prepared with all necessary cables by the time I move, that's why I'd like to pick you guys' brains about it now.

Appreciate all input

Note: I picked HDMI-Displayport for the monitor and regular HDMI for the TV because I have a long enough regular HDMI cable already and thought since the input for the TV is HDMI either way, there is 0 difference what the output from the videocard is. Please do correct me if I'm wrong though.
