3 Screen Problem

Hi Everyone,

I got the following set up:

I have been running 2 screens (the 24" Iiyama through HDMI, and an old Dell 19" moniter, through VGA (with a VGA>DVI connecter)) and has been working really well.

I have a 32" LG TV around 4-5m away, I just finally got a 5m HDMI cable.

Went to set it all up, and for some reason, the Iiyama won't run through DVI (the PC finds it in "Resolution" etc but displays nothing)
I can get display onto the LG TV up fine, but not together with the Iiyama (well I can't seem to get it working at all through DVI)?

Any ideas to what can be causing this please?

Thanks in advance

Firstly thanks Andi again, you have helped me loads.
It's kinda a bummer, I got advice that I could run all 3 moniters off this graphics card (not including the displayport) but its no bummer, tbh I don't really need the Dell screen, was just a waste to not make use of it

Secondly, the Iiyama wasn't working on DVI, due to the screen's setting being on HDMI not auto (or DVI) what a schoolboy error lol

Thanks again, will keep this in mind for future

I have a VGA>DVI adapter already, so I could get a VGA>Displayport, or a DVI>displayport couldn't I? (for the Iiyama screen)

Oh awesome, thanks for that.

I am not in a great rush to get one, would be nice to have all 3 working, but just spent a big wack on the new setup.

Thanks again everyone
