Cloning PC output to Plasma Panel
I have a FX5200 nvidia graphics card with DVI and VGA outputs on it. My
monitor only has VGA, so that is how I am hooked up at the moment. I have a Plasma screen about 3 meters way thought a wall that has a VGA input ( No DVI). Will a DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA cable allow me to clone the display on the PC (So that I can watch what is happening on the PC on the Plasma panal at the same time) -- Regards Hipp˙

I doubt it, but you never know. Ignore the TV display option as that will use the Svideo connection. Doc

Doc The FX5200, as well as the rest of the 5xxx series and higher, all support two displays being driven at the same time. It just requires enabling Clone mode in the drivers, or Dualview via the nVidia control panel application. Dan

Dan Thanks for that, I will get the kit ordered then, I was going to use the VGA out on the Graphics card and get a VGA splitter, but was worried about signal quality. -- Regards Hipp˙
