Hi everybody; my PC is connected whit my Samsung Smart TV by the hdmi cable but the big problem is that the PC switch on my TV on its own just by plug in the HDMI cable or when PC start and the cable is already connected or you turn ON the TV. I have already checked all possibility whit the monitor configuration, either microsft option and HP video option. it seem that the PC force to use the TV as monitor rather than its own monitor.

Thanks for your help, i really appreciate it but maybe I haven't explained myself very well (sorry for my bad english).
i know how to connect another monitor on PC with HDMI, i already knew that possibility of configurations ; the problem is that if i set the "show only 1" (in my language it appears like that) when "1" is the monitor's PC and "2" is the TV, he randomly switch on the monitor 2 (the TV) whitout touching anything, even now i have to use "extend monitor" setting or i have to unplug the HDMI to keeping the PC on its own monitor.
