    Would like to add 2 monitors & a TV to my comp

    Hi all, I have 3 ports VGA, DVI, HDMI on my PC's graphics card. I have been informed that i can connect a LCD Monitor to VGA port (currently using) and LCD Monitor to DVI Port (purchased a DVI to VGA converter via ebay & is due 2 arrive).

    Now my question is that could i also use the HDMI Port to connect to a LCD TV as an additional screen to watch dloaded movies on etc?

    Graphics Card: Nvidia 9800GT 1024mb DDR3 Graphics Card VGA DVI HDMI

    I have 2 x 19" HP W1907V Monitors and was thinking of purchasing a 32"-40" TV to go with my setup.

    Thanks in advance.

    Your card wont support it.

    Look into getting another and set up in SLI, and then your good to go.

    Another question... How about if attach a USB VGA/DVI Full HD adapter? What do you think, is it worth spending £30 on? It seems a less messier way to attach a 3rd monitor as i am not much of a comp doc... Has any one had experience with one?

    I have my Mac hooked up to the TV and it's great...upgrade if you can. It's worth it. Only advice is don't get a long HDMI cable. I have a 25'er and the signal has some small issues.

    you can do both monitors and HDMI out - but not all 3 at once.

    you will have to switch between monitors and HDMI in the driver utility.
