[RESOLVED] TV out and multiple monitor support

[enigma3]

Is there any way to use tv out and TV to use multiple monitors.
i.e. have 2 separate workspaces ... one on TV one on monitor.

Only a few video cards support this that I know of for sure. hose are the Matrox cards with DualHead, and the NVIDIA GeForce2MX-based cards that use TwinView with TV-Out. Not sure about the ATI cards....I heard some of them can do something similar, but I don't know for sure. These two I DO know about.

I'm pretty sure that even though your card has a VGA out and a Video out, they both display the same thing. Most vid card mfgrs only provide the video out as a convenience. But check www.Asus.com (http://www.Asus.com) web site, you never know. You might be able to add a second video card and use your existing one for the TV, though, and do things that way.

If you want dual monitor and monitor + TV out, I would recommend the Matrox G450. Good priced card, not the best for 3D graphics (gaming).
Output to TV I've found not that clear but TV's have awful resolution compared to standard monitor.
