I'm trying to hook up a VGA splitter in order to show the PC images on TV. The monitor is blank or goes to sleep when plugged into the splitter. Monitor plugged right into the PC works fine. Any ideas?. . .CB

Do you see both displays in Display Properties? May just need to enable the second one. If you don't see the second display at all, reboot the computer with both devices attached, check again. If still no go, update the video drivers. If no good then, try to use a different video card that has 2 outputs.

The best thing to do is to disable the sleep mode so that the video input senses that 2 monitors are attached. Also, are you using a powered video splitter? Also trying out for better quality 3D HDMI Splitter unit would be a better choice if things doesn't work out.
