|
|
So i was checking behind my computer and i see thats theres like 3 outputs.the one i am currently using is DVI but theres also hdmi and s-video.I was wondering if i had plugged lets say a hdmi chord into another monitor would it instantly work on both outputs (dvi/hdmi)? If not can i get like a TUT or something =]
Thanks for help~ _________________

What Video Card do you currently have?
Don't use the S-Video, use DVI and HDMI only...
Once u connect the 2nd cable to a 2nd monitor
RIght click desktop > Properties >
Go through the tabs till u reach The one with a picture of 2 monitor's....
And go through the option's...
Sorry I haven't done this before.... _________________

I'd recommend using Ultramon although it does cost money... _________________

Turn off your comp, plug in the other monitor, turn on your comp, and both monitors should be working. It should also work if you do it with it on, but then you'd have to do installing hardware or something like that. _________________

It would probably only be the generic PnP monitor installing, no big deal. |

| Shut the comp off, plug in the second monitor via HDMI, restart, go to the nVidia control panel, set the monitor options to "dualview." |
