| 1358401 | 2013-10-31 23:36:00 | looking to upgrade/modernise so I can view TV/Youtube stuff which has been downloaded to my PC on a TV in another room . The PC is running Vista and a Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT card This card only has 1 HDMi 0outlet and that is being used to run the Viewsonic HDMi screen . The cheap and dirty solution would be to use a HDMI spltter and another cable through the wall . Dumbass last year type question: are there graphic cards out there now with 2 HDMI outlets and can those outlets be controlled to display different outputs ???? I want to control the PC and what's shown on the TV from a laptop using UltraVNC to the PC . But if I use a splitter the graphc card output will be the movie and that will also be going to the PC screen and therefor to the laptop via UltraVNC, so, no control . The TV is an early Sony Bravia KDL-46W4000 LCD and one option could be to replace it with a new one that has internet capability . That might be a bit more money than I want to spend . Can anyone edumicate me and point me in the right direction . |

The screens will be "Extended" So you can drag something onto the other screen and keep it there and display something else on the other screen. I hope that answered your question. I just scanned over what you said quickly. | Nikit07 (16761) | ||
| 1358403 | 2013-11-01 01:06:00 | Does yourexisdting card have a DVI output? I suspect a cheap DVI to HDMI adapter is all you need. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1358404 | 2013-11-01 01:10:00 | Should have mentioned I already have a second screen (Acer AL1511) running off the standard screen connection. | bugalugs67 (9647) | ||
| 1358405 | 2013-11-01 01:18:00 | modern NV kepler card have 2 x DVI, Mini DP and a HDMI, even the lowly 630, and will drive 3 monitors at once. | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1358406 | 2013-11-01 03:04:00 | Wouldn't I still need two HDMI outlets ? | bugalugs67 (9647) | ||
| 1358407 | 2013-11-01 03:21:00 | DVI can be converted to HDMI easily with a cheap adapter(often supplied with the graphics card), no audio though. Does the viewsonic only have HDMI ? Display port can also be adapted to HDMI I believe? (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It's also possible to get a USB to graphics adapter but I'm not sure how well they work. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1358408 | 2013-11-01 08:48:00 | If you are able to install a 2nd card (not running SLI or anything) into your pc, you can set it to being a gpu dedicated to running extra screens. Though it might not be worth it/possible seeing your current card is a 9500GT. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1358409 | 2013-11-01 19:52:00 | Depending on your computer, I would recommend just updating the graphics card. Your TV can accept a VGA cable + audio if your graphics card now has a spare VGA. |
