2 Monitors + TV

[Butters]

Ok so my graphics card has 3 ports on the back (two DVI and one S-Video).

I have two monitors plugged into the DVI sockets and I wanna use the S-Video socket to connect a 42" TV that we have in our kitchen.

Basically I want to mirror the first display and the S-Video port (meaning the desktop would span across both monitors, but the TV would show whatever is on the 1st monitor).

I tried to do it but the nVidia control panel woulden't really let me do it...

Is there any way to do this?

I was thinking of getting a DVI splitter (to split the 1st DVI socket) and then a DVI to S-Video adapter...

you have a 42" in the kitchen? :cantlook:

Yeah in our uni flat...which is kinda a living room too I guess...

We got it cheap tho, like £400 instead of £1200 as it's a display model (meaning it's been in a shop window for ages) :P

exactly what i was thinking:P
could be possible splitting it;)

sounds like a lot of work though :-/ what happens when you connect the S-video?

I had the kinda the same problem. My graphic card doesnt support three screens, I can have my tv and my two screens connected at the same time but then I wont be able to use one of them. Can you do tripple view on the three screens or can you just have a long desktop? Like what settings are possible for you with the three screens?

[Butters]

I think you can use more than 2 screens if you have multiple graphics cards...

Anyway, I bought a DVI splitter (which actually splits one of my DVI ports to one DVI and one RGB) and an RGB to S-Video...hopefully that should work :P
