So, heres what the back of my video card looks like,
As you can see, i have 1 VGA, 1 DVI and one HDMI port...
As of now, I am running a 28" widescreen LCD computer monitor from it's HDMI port, to the video cards HDMI port...
My second computer monitor is a 22" widescreen that is positioned vertically, sitting on the right side of my main 28" monitor. A wire is running FROM the DVI port of the 22" monitor INTO the DVI port of the video card... This leaves me with the VGA port of the video card free of usage...
I just recently purchased a 47" LCD television which will be mounted somewhat high against the wall, to the left of my computer desk. The 47" LCD television has 4 HDMI ports (First 3 in the back, 4th on the side), a VGA port in the back and a usb plug on the side...
There are also Red Green Blue and Yellow White Red ports as you can see from the picture's...
I understand that i'm using the last of the digital components for my computer monitors but i do not plan on using the 47" screen for strict computer usage. I will be watching television on the 47"... What i would like to do is occasionally stream live web casts, watch movies/video's, display youtube video's or anything similar (the list goes on) ON the 47" from my computer..
I'm here because i'm unsure of what my limitations are when using VGA... What will my max resolution be for the 47" television screen (while using VGA)? Since i'm purchasing this large quality television, should i swap digital display's from my 22" side computer monitor with the 47" ? (so, the 22" will be VGA and the television will have digital/HDMI etc..) Or would that be silly seeing that i'm not going to be using the television much for the computer anyway, thus leaving me stuck with a poor image on the 22" while using the computer. Will the unpleasent image of the VGA display be so bad to the point where it's not even worth connecting to the 47" or will it be OK for the idea that i'm trying to accomplish? Also, when the 47" is connected to VGA, will i be able to swipe my mouse across the screen and manipulate windows the same way that i do while using my 22", or is there an option where i can strictly use the 47" is a display for viewers? Will it be ran using screen ratio 4:3 or 16:9 or can i chose from the two? These vast number of questions constantly arise, and the slightest bit of contribution towards these questions would be outstanding.
I would like to take use of the last port on my video card regardless of the image quality i receive, simply because it's there and i would like to fill it's space (also because i've never connected a third display to such a large display and i think it would be pretty neat). I'm simply asking for advice, suggestions and opinions. I will be sure to send pics of everything when it's finished, however i would like to get these concerns out of the way! Much appreciated for those responding..
