Ok, Heres the thing! I have a Geforce 2MX 400 (64MB).. and i have recently put another computer in my room so that i can have 2 monitors up. My Geforce 2MX 400 has a TV-Out and i was wondering if i can put another monitor onto the TV-Out on my Geforce card so i dont have to keep turning on the other computer (i guess im lazy).. all i really need is more screen space. So can i put a monitor on a TV-Out port? What things to i need to get it running? I have all the latest drivers etc. Please help me. Its more of a curiosity question than anything else. I know you can fit another graphics card in the tower and have that running on as a secondary but i cant get inside my comp for another year (Warenty thing) :(

Thank you for your time

Sincerly
Alex
 
No you can't plug TV-out into a regular computer monitor, sorry! About that warranty. First off I think it sucks. Secondly, is there a "Warranty is void yada yada..." sticker on the case? If not, they really can't tell if you opened it... *nudge**nudge*
 
Through TV-out another monitor , no way !
Card that support 2 monitors
- Ti Series ( GF3 Ti200 - Ti500 & GF4 MX 460 ( MSI also 440 ) & Ti series

Nvidia offcouse , if you want to find out ATi cards that support tell me
 
what Cosmin said.. sounds like what you need is a dual monitor card.. Matrox G450 and G550 and ATI Radeon 8500 provide dual monitor support.. TV-out will only provide the same video signal to a TV, soyou're just duplicating the monitor instead of providing more screen space..
 
Which Cord

Which Wire do you Alex_is_Axel use for just the tv out cause I have the same card but I dont know which wire (Cord) to use ?
 
geforce4 cards provide dual monitor support:
clone mode and vertical/horizontal spanning

clone mode will just duplicate your desktop
spanning will increase your desktop


i have my lcd connected using the dvi and my tv using the svideo out...running in clone mode
 
eh a fair number of ati solutions offer dualies..

mine has dual monitor support...

just have to take time to look around...

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
