I want to add a flat screen tv as a second screen, I wouldn't actually use it that much for pc use, but would like to play dvd's with it, video from my computer, and maybe some games. I don't know about the games part so much though because I already have a 24" lcd, and I don't know that I could sit in front of a 40" screen.
My concern is that the second screen would take too much from my gpu to power it, and still power my 24" for good gaming resolution. But, if I'm not using them both at the same time does it matter? Like if I have both screens hooked up, but am only powering one from the computer, does that screen get the full power of the gpu? (will have newer gpu by then, not sure what yet).
thx,
