so i have Samsung 40 i have had to use as a monitor
i have a regular pc monitor
is there a way to dual screen monitor to tv ?
cause if i just use my vga cable nothing comes up
but it will on the tv
im guessing if i use a vga to dvi addapter it would work
 
What you need to do is connect both the TV and the Computer Monitor into your pc's graphics card. Then just right click on either desktop and set the settings to either mirror each other or work independent (you will need to mouse out of the screen towards the other to use the other screen then). I suggest using an HDMI cable for the TV and a regular VGa cable for the Monitor.
