And if the drivers (like the ATI ones), have the option. Actually, I may try that out now. Connect another monitor to this. See what options I can get. And see if I can get / use 2 different screen. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 877152 | 2010-04-17 02:05:00 | Usually you can either stretch on to two or more monitors or show the same display on several. You can run a game in a window and surf in another window on one monitor anyway but I fail to understand why you would want to. |

| 877154 | 2010-04-17 02:16:00 | Well the ATI drivers let you duplicate (whats on the 1st monitor, to the 2nd). Extend (so if you go to the side / edge of the 1st monitor), you'll go to the 2nd monitor (which is blank if you select extend). I can run the tuner program on this, and drag it to the 2nd screen. And watch TV on the 2nd screen. But if I select full screen, it'll go back to the 1st screen. Extend will probably extend a game onto the 2nd monitor as well. I cant test it tho, dont have games on this |

| 877155 | 2010-04-17 02:25:00 | i see, so it might be possible to watch tv and play games at the same time, enjoying the joys of life all at once. I wanna ask are your using a tv tuner card to watch tv? if so any brands or models i should consider? | chuanwai (12518) | ||
| 877156 | 2010-04-17 02:26:00 | Solitaire is a game Speedy although when doing that you don't get dead. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 877157 | 2010-04-17 02:29:00 | indeed | chuanwai (12518) | ||
| 877158 | 2010-04-17 03:07:00 | You could probably play games like solitaire on a 2nd monitor. Its when you maximise it / change it to full screen, it'll go back to the 1st monitor I'm using an avermedia volar x tuner. Its fine and clear watching TV with it. But, I wouldnt use it in Windows 7. (Altho it works good in media center in Win7). If you want to record something. Some channels are out of sync. But, its fine in Vista. Its up to you what kind of tuner you want. I'm using a USB one, it saves me opening the case, and it's probably cheaper than a PCI-E one |
