Hey I was wondering if there is a quick and easy way to switch from my Viewsonic 19" monitor to my Samsung 32" TV quickly and easily. I don't want to have my TV as my PC monitor all the time just when I watch movies I have downloaded on my PC and then I would switch back to my viewsonic. I don't have any idea how to get my TV working with my TV. I'm not 100% positive right now but I'm pretty sure my TV res is 1366 x 768 at 60hz. I have a 8800GT 512MB

If your going to use your computer speakers for sound, then it is really easy, just get a dvi to hdmi cable and leave that plugged into the second port on your pc. Then drag the movie software over to the 2nd monitor and your set.

Edit: Never mind I just have to lower the resolution on my PC before I plug it into the TV
