Native mini DisplayPort™ connectors and/or certified mini DisplayPort™ active or passive adapters to convert your monitor’s native input to your graphics card’s mini DisplayPort™ connector(s) may be required.
Currently we have two ATI FirePro 2460 512MB video cards in an HP z800. What we want to do is push 6 monitor displays with one monitor being duplicated on a TV across the room. This would be a total of 7 monitors. The issue we are having is that as soon as we turn the TV off the computer loses all its display settings. We want to avoid this issue, as the TV will not always be used. Really only used if we are giving a briefing.
Asking for help if anyone know how to resolve this issue. We have updated video drives. Changed the grouping of monitors. Checked connectors.
All the PC monitors are the same. The TV is a 60 inch smart TV.
We are willing to buy new video cards if we have to.

I don't know alot about Eyefinity, but it would seem like you could use a simple splitter for the 7th screen (since it's just a duplicate of one of the 6 screens.

Here is a link for an HDMI splitter.

I would imagine you can find Display Port splitters too and I know they make DVI splitters.
