Decided to drag my old Projection style big screen tv out of the garage and put it in my room. My PC is running a single Nvidia 280 GTX. I'm wanting to hook the tv up to my computer via an s-video to composite adapter. I already have 2 monitors hooked up to my DVI ports, and my card does have an s-video port on it. Anyone know if I'm going to have any problems getting my TV to work as a 3rd "monitor" or am I going to be wasting my time dragging my huge and HEAVY TV into my room? I've never tried a setup like this, so I figured I'd ask first before I do any heavy lifting lol. Please, only those that know for a fact as to whether this will/will not work reply, no speculation, por favor.
Thanks in advance.|||The GTX280's GPU is designed to support TWO displays only.
You will NOT be able to use your old TV as a third monitor on that GTX280.
Triple-monitor support did not arrive for consumer-grade single-GPU video cards until ATI released their Radeon HD5000-series late last year (and the third monitor is required to have a DisplayPort jack).|||s-video is using a different type of signal compared to composite.. 99.9% sure its not working unless the adapter is converting the signal..
the signal will only be a copy of on of the monitors, so i would rather se if u can hook it up to one of the dvi ports (depending on inputs on the tv u might need a dvi-hdmi/vga adapter)...|||Dont think you can use all 3 outputs at the same time my friend. SVGA will give a rubbish picture anyway for a large screen, you need to use one of the DVI's
