If it's possible i want to connect 2 monitors to one computer. Does anyone know of this sort of connector.
I don't really need both to work at the same time, but doesn't matter if they do.
thanks

yes it can definately be done. it is a common thing for cad designers to have. dunno how you'd do it though

i pretty sure you can buy a switch over box. therefore, output from PC goes to the switch, and you can then switch between the two. this would mean only one working at a time.

it is possible to use 2 at the same time, but you have to have a graphics card thatt supports it. my laptop does, so i can use the laptop screen, and an external one, and drag items from one screen to the other

The only way to do multiple monitors and span the picture is to use a dual output graphics card, most £80+ cards have that feature.

If you only have one monitor output then you can use a splitter, but you wont be able to span the screens, only have the same thing on both.

Most operating systems back to Window 98 will do this Three different ways of doing.

(1) Top end graphics card with two monitor sockets
(2) Use two graphics cards --- One of which must be AGP the other PCI
(3) Use a switch or repeater box

Thanks for the help, i've got an anologue and a digital socket on back of my computer so does that mean i can use my computer on the digital socket and connect the analogue one to the back of my t.v. so i could play my video's/ music etc on it?

A cheapo graphics card for around 40 quid (assuming its not for games) will give you dual head.

The other option is a KVM switch (Keyboard Video Mouse) and just use the Video part. It may cost more than a 2nd or dual head graphics card though.

I've also found some KVMs degrade TFT images in the past too.
