Ok, so I want to mirror one of my pc screens onto my TV.

My current set up is my 5770 goes to my 1st monitor DVI > DVI, the second monitor does from DVI > VGA with an adaptor.

The TV has a VGA port, and I think some spare HDMI if needed.

As I'm out of DVI ports on my graphics card I would have to get a splitter?

I'm not too sure how the resolutions would work going from either a 2048x1156 or 1680x1050 monitor to a 1920x1080 TV either.

Hope this is enough information and is understandable, any help is appreciated.
 
because of the different resolutions i'm pretty sure your going to have to use whatever the remaining connector is on your 5770 (probably a mini displayport)

i'm not sure but you might need an active displayport adapter for this to work. dont quote me on that though
 
There is a HDMI and I think a mini display port, however I have already tried the HDMI to my TV and it didn't work with three monitors at the same time, does it work with 3 if I'm using display port? And if so would something like this work?
 
Ahhh, that's what I thought, could I not just change my resolution on my main monitor down to 1920x1080 and then use a DVI splitter? As I don't really need 3 separate monitors, just want to be able to display things from my PC onto the TV.

i cant see why that wouldnt work. however it may look a bit rubbish on the main monitor
 
Just tried it, a little blurry, should it be like this? It's a 23 inch screen, surely 1920x1080 should looks fine? Is it just me?
