Hello All,
I am working for a client where they need 4 36" TVs to be set up. 3 will be a static images with menu items (for a restaurant) and one will be a slideshow. This forth one will display specials of the day and things of that sort. I am looking for either a program to assign the monitors or a simple way to run these TVs straight from a PC. Any suggests are welcome since I have not worked with this type of infrastructure before.

Thanks!
Andrew
 
Most low end or better graphics cards can run four screens no problem, though you will most likely need a Displayport to HDMI adapter to actually hook them up. Get something cheap like a HD7770 and aforementioned adapter and slap that into the PC your working with to power the screens.

If the TV's themselves are "smart" and can open common media file types (say JPEG's and MP4) then the solution could be as simple as plugging in a USB thumb drive into each with the required files and just opening them. For the slideshow you could make it in a video format, and then just hope the TV has a looping option.
