Been out of the loop for a while now, question I have a LG 50PZ950UA TV I also have 2 Dell U2414H monitors and am about to buy a MSI R7 265 video card...how do I setup my monitors and TVs to all display the same thing?

I already have a HDMI cable ran to where my old computer is and my TV does not have display port input, my assumption is:

Video card out display port to monitor1->monitor2->TV (via display port to HDMI adapter)

but was wondering if I could do:

Video card display port out to monitor1->monitor2 and then use the HDMI output to TV? (or is it one or the other output kind of thing?)
 
It appears to me that you can, like you are suggesting, but I've not tried it.

The U2414H does have Displayport MST (a Dispalyport output in addition to the input on your monitors) - so you just daisy chain your monitors and your video card will pick them up like they were plugged in separately, and then yeah, HDMI to your TV - so only 2 devices are phsyically plugged into your video card, and the second monitor is daisy-chained from the first monitor. I've never tried it, but in theory AMD has supported it for years now.

The card officially supports up to 3 monitors, although in my research I've heard the 14.1 drivers and later enable 4. Displayport MST supports daisy-chaining of up to 4 monitors on a single line. So if your question is just can you hook it all up - it would appear so.
