My work computer is currently running a graphics card (Nvidia NVS 285) with a dvi output. This is connected via a dvi- 2x vga female splitter. One leg of the splitter goes to my desktop monitor (NEC Multisync EX231Wp) and the other leg goes to a 65" lg flatscreen tv. All works well in this setup with duplicate desktop on HDTV for meetings etc.
My question is what do i need to do to have 2 monitors on my desk running extended desktop and the HDTV showing the main desktop picture.
My thoughts were ill connect a vga splitter to one of the legs and attach main desktop and HDTV off it and the other leg of original splitter to monitor for extended desktop. Question is can you split off a splitter? I attached a basic vga splitter but the desk monitor didnt show picture, hense my question to you all!
If not can you all suggest how to get the end result i need?
Thanks
