Re: Problem using 2 monitors w/ DVI-D splitter

Thx Frank!

After reading your previous response this a.m. I decided it wasn't worth trying to do two DVI connections, so Monday I'll check locally about trading the DVI cable for the monitor for a VGA cable.  
I'd previously read that DVI was far superior to VGA, so I didn't want to sacrifice video quality.  

Maybe I'm over thinking and trying too hard.

Thx for showing me the solution.

Re: Problem using 2 monitors w/ DVI-D splitter

Frank,

One more question.   When using both DVI for TV and VGA for Monitor will the resol;utions be automatically set?  If so will they be mat the maximums I previously posted?

Because you have a HD4200, you normally will use AMD Catalyst to define multiple displays:

With installed drivers for monitor and tv the pc will know the best resolution and will offer it, else you just change it with the software.

Sorry that I couldn't help you.

I believe you mean computer > DVI-D cable > monitor, right?
