So i want to add a new screen,my TV, witch im gonna put somewhere in the room to watch netflix, but my monitor only has a DVI port connected to the gpu. I heard that you need to connect the TV to the monitor for it to work but the only hdmi port i have is the gpu, so my question is: Can i use my TV and my monitor, both being connected to the same gpu?

Yes, you can have both a monitor and TV connected to the GPU and it will work just fine. You will still be able to use your mouse and keyboard.

I don't know who told you that the TV needs to be connected to the monitor, but they are wrong. If you connect the TV to the Monitor, it is not your computer that will display on the TV, it's the other way around. Meaning that you will be able to watch TV on your monitor instead.

You can keep the monitor and TV plugged into your GPU at the same time, and you can even use both screens at the same time.
