Connect the computer to tv?

Connect TV and Monitor to Computer?

  • I recently bought a 42" 720p Plasma TV in the hopes of connecting it to my computer. I was also wanting to use another monitor (yes, my video card has 2 dvi outputs). I've run into a problem which I'm sure has an easy fix (or so I hope), Whenever I connect both the TV and monitor neither work, but when I connect just the TV it works perfectly fine. I've been using dual monitors for quite awhile. So what I'm trying to do is connect my monitor, use it as the primary and connect my TV and use it has the secondary monitor. Any help with the issue I'm having doing this would be greatly appreciated. To connect the TV I'm using a DVI-HDMI cord. For the monitor, just a DVI cord.

  • Answer:

    connect both but leave tv switched off boot system if boots ok go to NVidia control panel advanced mode select the multi monitor mode now turn on the tv if works fine but also check you have latest drivers for your graphics card windows version helps xp Vista win 7 something else you can try boot system this time turn the monitor off if boots check TV screen res is 1360 x 768 ,,,,as this is the default being 720p and 60hertz then go nvidea c p and try again

Is it a desktop? If so, then look for a program in the control panel for the video card. Probably some ATi or Nvidia program.
