Morning, I'm considering using my CAT6 cable to send output from a computer to another room in the house. 

 

Using something like this

If I do this, is there a way maybe 3rd party software where I can turn on/off output to that screen without having to unlplug it from my GPU and maybe even allow a preview of screen 3 from screen 2 etc, just so I can see the movie etc is playing before I go to the room.

How far are you extending?




I'm not a complete idiot, I still have some parts missing.

From a lounge to the garage back out to a tv. No more than 50m, more likely 30m

Nirsoft has good utilities.

The Nirsoft software won't be able to review one monitor on another because each monitor has to show a different part of the extended desktop. But it should allow a kind of "preview" by temporarily "swapping" the monitors in the configuration and then swapping back.
