How to get TTY output on all monitors (Nvidia)?

Hi all,

My laptop's got a Nvidia GPU and currently TTY only shows on the build-in and the HDMI displays. After a little googling, it seems Nvidia by default selects displays based on order (eDP?) -> VGA -> DVI -> HDMI -> DisplayPort which means I have to unplug the HDMI monitor to get TTY on the DisplayPort one (confirmed). This setting is usually configurable in desktop motherboard BIOSs but it appears to be missing from my laptop BIOS menu.

So may I know whether it's possible to simply make TTY show on all connected displays? Thanks.
