does your tv have an s-video connection? if so thats one way......but a video card with a vga connection is your best bet

You can do this.  I have a computer with a TV card, too.  Look for the video and sound inputs (should be white, yellow and red).  And in your media center there should be a option to play that input device.  If you want to just connect your PS2 to your monitor you have to buy a VGA box.  Here's an example:

OK have you right clicked on the desktop and played with the Advanced settings in the display usually that should open up the ATI software and from there you can tell it under displays usually that you are going to be using your TV....not sure how far you have gotten, but i did have this problem with my ATI in the laptop. just dont do that extend windows monitor crap.    i think you need to elaborate just a little more

Your computer will need to support this type of display. (Check for more than one VGA or DVI display port.)\n\nIf not, you can buy a dual or triple head graphics card to install into your machine. Installing a second graphics card disables the computer's on-board port and you connect up your monitors to its ports instead. This will give you two (or more) independently addressable displays. With windows you then select the display and tick "Extend my desktop to this display" in the settings and the additional display will come on and start working. (By default windows will only use one display until you tell it otherwise in the settings, then all is fine and windows will use all the displays from then on.)\n\nhttp://shopmatrox.com/\n\nI have a Matrox P650 Dual-Head card with two flat panel screens and this works very well. (There are cheaper options out there though.)\n\nThere are also boxes and adaptors out there that can split your one display output into two, and this will function in "stretched" mode. (For example a laptop.) But make sure that your computer's chip-set is supported. The manufacturer of the display splitter box should be able to tell you what it is compatible with.\n\nThis is different from independent displays in that it is slightly less flexible. As far as windows is concerned, you have one big monitor and some applications might not work quite right in stretched mode because they are unaware of the two displays.\nThere are drivers/software to work around this to a certain extent. (Mostly to re-position windows to the middle of one of the displays and not the middle, straddling the two displays, and to reposition windows when maximised to the display they are in and not across both screens.)\n\nIf your budget (and hardware) allows, go for independent displays rather than stretched mode only setup.

Configuration #1 - HDTV or PC Monitor with DVI inputs.  To connect to one display and toggle between the PC desktop/full-screen HDTV, connect the loop-back cable between DVI output of your video card and the MyHD DVI Daughter Card input.  Connect another DVI cable from the DVI Daughter Card output to your HDTV or Monitor's DVI input\n\n\nConfiguration #2 - HDTV and PC Monitor in Separate Monitor Mode.  Configuration #2 displays separate connections to a computer monitor and HDTV both with DVI inputs.  PC Monitor can also be connected to the VGA but MDP-120's VGA and DVI outputs cannot output full-screen HDTV simultaneously to two different displays in.  DVI daughter card also adds TOSLINK audio output feature to the MDP-120.

2 ways to go here:\n\n1) First you need a dual view video card. A good example is Ati brands that support dual view. a link to one is: \n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=AA29470\n\nThen you need a dvi adapter unless one monitor you are using is dvi compatible. a link to the dvi adapter:\n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=AA14935\n\nIn the Ati control panel are the settings for dual view.\nSome NVIDIA cards also support the dual mode.\n\nIf both monitors are DVI and not VGA - the video card will be a good bit more expensive to support dual dvi.\n\n2) If both monitors are not needed at the same time you can also get a switch like the one listed below. It can be 2 monitors to 1 computer or 2 computers to one monitor\n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=1494095

You need two video cards installed, if you have a regular desktop machine.  For laptops/notebooks with an external display port, you can hook up a second monitor to the port, and use both that and the notebook monitor (you will have to make a change to your graphic settings, depending on your installed video card).\n\nFor a desktop, install a second video card.  Open Display in the Control Panel, and click the monitor icon for the monitor you want to use in addition to the primary monitor.  Select Extend My Windows Desktop onto this Monitor checkbox, then Apply, then Ok.  If you don't see that checkbox, your card may not support multiple monitors.  Make sure you have hardware that supports multiple monitors before you purchase any equipment.  You might wind up having to buy to video cards (one to replace your original card, and one to support the additional monitor.).

yes, as long as your video card has a tv-out socket (s-video). you then can use the tv as a monitor - but remember that the resolution of tv is much lower than your monitor, so it won't be much good for reading text. it would be ok for playing games or watching movies though...

No, unfortunately. You need a graphics card with dual-output; and for best results, one that advertizes itself as being able to support two monitors independently. It takes a robust graphics processor and, depending on your system, maybe some other software, as well. To do what you want to do, the computer needs to send out two separate signals to the individual monitors.\n\nIf you're using Windows, have a look at this site, it explains hardware for multiple monitors:\n\nhttp://www.touchscreens.com/support-technotes-multimon.html

First you need a tv card.\nGet one at fry`s.\nPlug it into the wall(You might need a amplifier)\nThe tv card should have software on it.\nThats my advice.

Windows XP has this built in.  You need to install additional graphics cards.  Usually those will need to be PCI as most computers only have 1 AGP or PCIx port.  Or use a higher end video card with multiple ports.  Most mid-range ($100 and up) video cards and higher have 2 ports on them, some have more.  For instance ATI has something called "Hydravision", But I recommend letting Windows do all the work for you.  I think ATI gave up on the extra Hydravision stuff now that I think about it.\n\nAnyway, when you have mulitple video cards installed, right click on the desktop and choose "Properties" and then click on the "settings" tab.  You'll see all available monitors shown graphically there.  You can click on the monitors and "enable" them to get the screen to show up there.  All monitors through Windows are autonomous and can display different data from the master (1) monitor.

No, you cannot.  Any laptop's video card only supports video out and not video in.  There is no cable you can buy contrary to the other answer.  You can hook you laptop up to your PC Screen with the video out and extend your desktop to that, but your desktop wouldn't have a monitor at that point.

I suggest you get a 256 mb graphic card and make sure the hdtv has a dvi output. If it doesn't your dead.

You have to have a video card that is capable. Make sure of that first. Then you either need a s video cable or vga cable. On the back of your tv you should see a plug for one or the other( if your tv is capable) Attach the cable( s video or vga) to your tv and then to your video card on the back of your pc. Right click your desktop. You should then have a display option( on mine it's nvidia display) click on that then go to detect displays. Then on that same window go to current display then move it from your monitor to your tv. Right above that you'll have the option to dual display your comp or however you want to configure it. Good luck. Feel free to e mail me if you have more questions. It sounds like alot but it's really not that hard.

You just need an A/V output on your video card. Most video cards dont have this feature though. You might not be able to pick up such a video card at your local store. You may have to order one online. Try pricewatch.com.

Yes you can run two monitors with this graphics card.  One of the monitors needs to be connected using the standard VGA port.  The other will need to be connected via the DVI port which is larger than the VGA port.\n\nMake sure that the monitor has the necessary ports for you to connect to this card.\n\nFirst, connect one monitor and boot up the PC.  Once logged in, then connect the second monitor.\n\nOn the desktop, right click and choose Properties.  In the subsequent dialog box that appears choose the tab labelled Settings. You should then see two boxes depicting screens labelled 1 and 2.\n\nOne of these will be your primary monitor, choose the slightly greyed out one by just clicking once on it and highlighting it.\n\nNext, choose/tick the box where it says "Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor".  Click Apply click OK and you should be done.  It's that simple.
