Is it possible to connect a 15 inch lcd monitor and a flat panel lcd tv to a computer?

What type of video card do i need to be able to do this? I want to be able to switch between the two displays from the computer.


Yes, as long as the monitor/tv has VGA inputs.

cheers

It is completely possible to do. It is easier if you have dual video output from your video card...ie. svga and s-video, you would connect the monitor to the traditional svga port and the tv to the s-video port, otherwise there are several adapters you can purchase to split the video signal.

You need an ATI All in Wonder type card. This card allows you to view two different monitors with the same computer, and you can switch any item you like between them. Plus it has lots of programs for recording, editing, and lots more. You can check out this website and learn some more about it.

if youwant to make both the lcd and the flattv a secondry screen beside your primary pc screen then you'll need some sort of switcher to do that it's something like a hub thattakes the input from your displaycard then distribute it to both screens.

but without it you won't be able to connect 3 diveces to your display card cuz as i know the maximum number of devices u can connect is only 2. and almost all kinds of 128 mb cards and above can give 2 output devices.i use nvidea fx 5200 128mb to operate 2 monitors
