Good question.\n\nIf you want an easy way of doing it, I would recommend buying a video card that supports two monitor adapters. This way you can hook up the two monitors and all you need to do then is a little setup\n\nWhat you need to do under Windows Xp is to right click on your desktop and go to properties. Once you are at properties, select the settings tab. Once both monitors are hooked up, you will see a drop down box for selecting the monitors. Select the second monitor from the drop down list. Once you select it you will see a checkbox that says "extend my windows desktop to this monitor". Make sure the checkbox is checked and click ok. Then that's it. Have Fun!

its actually very simple.. and will cost you about 60+ dollars. what you need is a tv tuner card and you want to make sure it is pcmcia card. you can buy it off of newegg.com or tigerdirect.com

If you are connecting multiple monitors to a computer then you would need to purchase an adapter or switch that allows you to have more monitors.

if your video adapter is having two output modes you can connect two monitors to your pc and can work simultaniously on both of the monitors.

If you have made cables before, then go for it.  It's quite simple.  You are going from a 5 wire VGA cable to a 3 wire component cable.  Horizontal and vertical sync are on green.  Wiring diagrams can be googled.\n\nIf you haven't made a cable before, then you are better off buying a video card that supports it.  Most ATI video cards with DVI-out support component.\n\nWhat video card do you have?  Best way is to look at the manufacturer's site to see if they sell component adapters.  But, I have never seen any manufacturer support a VGA to component adapter though.

yes, try to connect the 2 PC together some how (seriel cable is the best way- both end should be male (have the little pins- needles if you want)), and configure you game's network so the computers can see each other, it should be very easy.\nhave fun.

Then when you get the card installed, just right click on your desktop and in your display settings just turn on the second monitor (if you have one hooked up. Then adjust settings to determine which is the right and left monitor and there you have it. Then your mouse and keyboard will both work for both monitors since your computer is just using one (simulated) super wide desktop that actually covers 2 monitors. For example if your mouse is on screen 1 and you move it to the right and off the edge of the screen, it will come up on the other computer.

It won't hurt the LCD monitor.  What situation would require this setup?

1. you need a mainboard with a PCI express slot\n2. put the card in the slot and attach the monitor\n3. power on the pc and install the appropriate driver (delivered on a CD with the graphics card).

make sure you have an updated video card driver, monitors usually will work with just a generic plug and play driver, if it's not like 9 yrs old

Buy a video card that will support a dual-monitor configuration (most newer ATI and nVidia cards will have dual DVI ports). Once the video card is installed, go to Control Panel->Display and select the primary and secondary monitor, extend the desktop, etc. Software bundled with the video card should also have features to set up a dual monitor.

You must have two graphics cards in your computer best of with an nvidia or ati graphics card also you have to connect each monitor to each gpu even if they have two monitor connections only a few support two monitors and also if you play games I don't recommend this configuration.

If your laptop has a yellow video port, with an RCA jack connection, just use a common video cable to hook the laptop's yellow plug with the yellow plug on the TV.  \nIf your laptop has only the external monitor port, you probably won't be able to connect the two without an adapter.

you can just add another one or change its settings.  The first monitor setting is more or less for projectiors so you don;t want to mess with it.
