    on my P170em with a GTX 680m and intel 4000 integrated i have a rather annoying issue that i would like to solve because i am far to lazy to continue to deal with this. I always have my computer plugged into my television via HDMI. The annoying part is that if my GF turns on the tv to watch while i am using my computer, my pc automatically starts to try to switch to it. Since the television is not on the correct input my screen just beeps and flashes repeatedly. This is annoying me beyond belief. Is there a setting in the intel or nvidia control panel that i am overlooking that solves this annoying issue because i am really really tired constantly unplugging and replugging the hdmi cable/ fishing out from behind my desk when it falls because i had to unplug it?
