I have a Asus VH238H monitor and was planning on getting a second one. I currently have a GTX 770 2gb GPU. How can I hook the two of them via HDMI and have one display show a game i'm playing and the other fir browsing.
 
Solution
It depends on your graphics card (or motherboard if you don't have a graphics card).

Do you have places to plug in 2 HDMI cables?
If so just plug both monitors in!
If you have a single HDMI and a single DVI, simply use HDMI to one monitor, and DVI to the other.

Concerning gaming on only 1 display:
If you only have 2 monitors, this will be the default setting.
Even if you have 3 monitors, you would need to setup Surround gaming (for Nvidia) and EyeInfinity (for AMD) to game on more than a single display.

What ports do you have on the back of your GPU? That monitor also supports DVI and VGA so those are also options. Converter cables are available and do work if you need them aswell. (for instance if your GPU for some reason only has hdmi or DP but no dvi or vga.
