  1. I am looking for an AGP video card with true dual TV out. The one I am using now is cool but when I try to watch something on Windows media Player only one of the screens shows the video. It never shows on both screens unless I am using a software DVD program and it's an MPEG video. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Perhaps you could be more clear in your question. If you are looking for dual TV out get a signal amp that will amplify and split the s video out to 4, 8, 16 outputs. www.markertek.com

    If you want your vga monitor and your TV to have the same display my inexpensive ATI Radeon 7000 64mb will do that. It works either as a dual monitor (extended desktop) or a 'copy' on the TV of whats on the monitor. All I had to do was RTFM.

    If it's an nVidia card (and Windows), try TVTool. Even if the standard control panel has no option for both TV and monitor output, with TVTool you can have both at the same time. NVTV does the same under Linux.

    What did you mean by RFTM? I tried TV tool but it didn't work.

    I Read The Freaking Manual. After my initial install I could only get the tv to come up as an extended desktop not a "copy" of what was on my vga monitor. After I read the manual, probably the 2nd time, I figured out how to access the display properties and click the right buttons. In my defense it was about 3 am after putting together my new system.

  7. Ok, well I got the TV to display what is on the computer screen but it's just when I'm playing a video on Windows Media Player or some other player. The video only displays on one screen at a time. Not both. On one screen the video is playing and on the other screen there is just a black area where the video should be.
