How are you connecting the 3'rd? Are you using the HDMI out?

The S-video isn't technically a monitor, it's a TV to the card. I'd recommend you don't use it as such...picture quality (for monitor use) is ridiculously low over S-video. It's not meant for use as such, and you'll likely be disappointed by it.

Sorry yes it is a tv which has a VGA, Is it possible to connect it to the computers VGA and have the other two on the Graphics card?

According to yourself, you don't have a VGA out...2x DVI and S-video.
Is this an HDTV (which are the only type of TVs I know of to carry VGA inputs)?

Hiya

I got the same problem, 3 monitors that i want to use.

2 of them are working great and wanna get the third one up also...but what to do?


My mainboard has both VGA, DVi & HDMi integrated but as the n00b i am.... I just can´t get it to work.
Question is...if it´s even possible to get it working that way?


Solution 2:

Buy an extra PCI gfxcard and put in, anyone who know if that will work?
(the only ATI PCI gfxcard i could find right know in my local store are HIS ATi Radeon 7000, 64 MB DDR, VGA, DVI, TV-Out)

My setup at the moment are:
Mainboard: MSi KA780G
Gfx: ATI RADEON HD 4800 series


Hope someone have a nice answer for me.

Most lower end(store bought) PC's have internal graphic cards, you can also use it if you'd like, although I wouldn't stress it out much.
