How do you unlock the Television Resolution at 1920 x 1080 with Oculus in main port?

I have to unplug it to get my screen resolution for my tv to increase over 1920 (and reset pc).
Can I turn Oculus off.. as in the pc does not recognise it and lock it to 1920 x 1080, which I believe, the pc is locking to the Oculus max resolution.

Hope that makes sense.. 
thanks.

So I can play my game in 4k without unplugging and plugging constantly.

That shouldn't be a problem. At home I have 3x 1440P screens and the Rift plugged in on one video card. Which GPU are you using?

I am using an R9 Furry 4GB OC gigabyte.

Yeh, when I go to load a game... the resolution is only available at 1920 and also through personal settings on my pc destop.

R9 Furry, you say? Ha, let me not make any jokes. Seriously, though, I would recommend testing out different video ports on the card (both for Rift and your TV). You may need to use an adapter, such as as DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

Speaking of furries, all this talk of Palmer luckey being alt right wing and a nazi or whatever has me really confused about that picture of him in drag dressed up for a brony convention?

I am set up the best I can.
Oculus is in main port
Tv display port
will not work any other way.

This may be a Fury limitation - perhaps the Fury can only drive a single high-resolution HDMI display?

When the Rift is unplugged it can drive the TV at 4k, but with the Rift plugged in it is reserving the high-speed HDMI signalling capabilities to drive the Rift. You could try using a display-port to HDMI adapter for one of them, but otherwise I think you're probably stuck unplugging the Rift when you're not using it.

Titan Furry would be a great name for a graphics card.... or a boxer.
