Hi there,

Im getting a plasma that I want to connect to my ati 4890 gpu that has 2 dvi ports and 1 svideo port

I have 2 tfts that plug into the 2 dvi ports which leaves only the svideo port available to use to connect to my plasma. Svideo is analogue whereas HDMI is digital so I wanted to use one of the dvi ports.

Does this mean I cannot have 2 tfts connected to my gpu as well as my plasma?

please help me solve this

thanks

to watch films on the plasma

yes my tft has a vga port

i think i will have to change the cabling around each time I want to watch a film - is that true?

Either that or stick a cheap secondary graphics card in with an HDMI connector just for the plasma.

Will I lose quality of image or sound by using a cheap gpu?

i think i maybe able to use a dvi splitter, so that I can have all three connected at once...

what dya reckon?

this is true...

but i would still need a dvi to hdmi convertor right so that I can insert the hdmi cable into the dvi connector which plugs into the back of the gpu? - is that correct?
