I recently got a television as a second monitor for my computer. I tested its HDMI ports with my PS3, and it outputted just fine, 1080p, good color... normal.
I want to also use it as a second monitor for my computer, since the TV has two HDMI ports. However, something strange happens when I try to use it...
When I plug an HDMI cable in the back of the card, after a couple of seconds, it stops outputting to the primary monitor (through DVI). And, nothing shows up on the TV. I've tried swapping cables, but the issue stands - the PS3 connects with all of the cables, and the PC with none of them.
So, my questions are as follows:
1) Can I set my computer to NOT shut off my DVI output automatically every time an HDMI is plugged in? If so, how?
2) How can I make something show up on the TV?
