I'm a multi-monitor noob, having never ventured into this space. Question is about my kids' computer and their differing uses.

First up - they have one computer that both use. My son and daughter both use it for gaming and schoolwork. However, my daughter is also a content-creator type kid, and she's getting a Huion Art/PenDisplay for her birthday. My son will never use the Huion - and she'll use it probably 40% of the time she's on.

So - is there a way that I can leave both monitors plugged into the GPU and set up their respective profiles such that:
  • When my son logs on, the only monitor that lights up is the current 'gaming' display, while the Huion is not on / drawing power
  • When my daughter logs on, the Huion and the main monitor work - but she can select between using just one or the other depending upon what she wants to do?

Click to expand...
just use windows display settings. turn the tablet off for you son's profile and show your daughter how to turn it on/off as needed.
 
Display Fusion pro lets you do this sort of thing quite easily and you can have the profiles triggered by a hot key or by events.
Powering off the 2nd monitor would probably have to rely on the lack of display output to the 2nd monitor for your son trigger the eco mode.
