Two Monitors and a TV
 
I'm running a dual monitor setup right now through TwinView on an FX5200. Everything is going fine, but I'd like to add a TV soon. I know that I can't run it as a separate third monitor with just this one card. But is there a way that I can just mirror the image on the first monitor to the TV? I'm just looking for thigs to be bigger, so I can see them from across the room.

problem with pushing stuff out to your TV is that it will have a max res of 800x600 so if your main screen is of a higher res you will have 1 of 2 problems.

1. it will just not work as it will be out of range for the TV

2. you will only get the middle of your screen on the TV.

i have had both problems when trying to push the res higher then 800x600, it is best to leave the TV at 640x480 as that is more the norm then then 800x600 res.

this is true for most CRT type TVs. if you have one of the newer hidef TVs then just the specs on the TV as for what its max res and refresh rates are. then you can clone that out.
