    DisplayMagician is an open source tool for automatically configuring your displays and sound for a game or application from a single Windows Shortcut.

  • DisplayMagician is made for simracers, and is a fork of Helios Display Management that has some extra features. Once setup, you can have a shortcut on your desktop to easily switch between monitor layouts. On my setup, I hit an icon and it will disable my desktop monitors and switch over to my simrig monitor which sounds similar to your needs. The advantage of this software is it is automating the standard windows monitor enable/disable/positioning so it is very quick and more reliable than other methods. If you want to take it a step further you can script it, for example mine will flick to a certain layout when opening a specific program or game.
