PC Video Card Display FAQ
Q.
I have a graphic card that has a DVI, VGA, and S-Video
connections. What should I use to connect to my Monitor?
Most
video cards on the market today have two PC full resolution output for
monitors as well as a S-Video for output to a standard (non-HD)
TV. The PC outputs can be used simultaneously, as well as one PC
and the TV output, but most often not all three at the same time due to
hardware limitations.
Q.
How can I use the two PC outputs simultaneously?
When the
outputs are connected to two separate displays, the output video can be
sent out in the following modes:
Clone
Mode - both displays show the same image
Extended
Desktop Mode - One shows the main desktop while the second an extended
view. In this mode, the secondary monitor is often incapable of
displaying video overlay.
