Video card: GTX 260 -2 dvi ports.

TV: LG47lh30 1080p

Monitor 1: samsung 24 1080p

Monitor 2: Dell ultraysharp 20"



So now my question is how will be able to switch between my Samsung 24" to my TV while having my 20" still connected for a cheap price? Will a splitter for the 24" + tv make it lose quality?


I dont really want to spend a lot of money on a switch... so any suggestions?

Realize if you are using WMC that it takes control of the mouse and you won't be able to use your other 2 screens at the same time. Could you use IGP to drive the 3rd display?

When i do connect to the TV from my computer, i dont really care about my other 2 monitors working b/c i mainly want it to be used for movies.


So i want to either use my dual monitors OR tv w/ the pc. So at 1 given point i dont have to use more than 2 displays.

Why not just use a second video card?

I cant use a 2nd video card because my GTX 260 is too fat. It takes up all other slots and there is only 1 slot left for my sound blaster audigy 4.....


SO really the only cards that i have is audigy 4 + gtx 260

Edit: actually i could fit another pci-e video card into my board, but the 2nd pci-ex16 card has to be no wider than 1" or else it will not fit...........

There are USB video cards, no need for a slot.
