can i use a tv as a third display?

cycooper72 · Feb 3, 2016

I have two 19 in DVI monitors that are currently set to run as extended displays. I wanted to add a third display (a 22 in Sansui TV I use for my Xbox) using the HDMI port so i could play American Truck simulator on extended displays. problem is I cant get windows to detect the TV. I've tried rebooting and updated my driver using GeForce experience, and it still doesn't see it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Processor AMD FX(tm)-8350
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 (build 10586), 64-bit
Memory 8.0 GB
Motherboard MSI 970 Gaming

Your GPU does support up to 4 monitors and a TV should be usable as the third display. Have you tried running only on the TV and then plugging the DVI monitors in? Also, make sure that the TV is recognizing that it's plugged into the computer. Most HDTVs have small processors that detect if there's a signal or not. If it doesn't detect the PC, it's not going to open the port and your PC won't know it's connected.

Start by making sure that the TV will work by plugging only that one in, and from there we'll see what's going on.
