PC to TV Connecton

[huddsy44]

Hey,

 

I'm having trouble connecting my PC to my tv so I can have dual monitors. I currently have my primary screen connected with a DVI-D cable. I have connected the VGA cable from the VGA output on my computer to the VGA input on my TV and I have also changed the source to VGA/PC but all I am seeing is "No Signal Through PC"

 

Extra information:

 

PC Specs:

Intel Core i5-4670 3.40GHz

8.00 GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB SDRAM

1 TB HDD

DDR3 SDRAM

Windows 7 Edition Home Premium

 

Please ask for any additional details

You don't connect it to a output of a tv, you connect it to an input.

Sorry, I meant input.

Change to the right input on the tv via a button on the tv or remote

I have done that. I have changed the source to VGA/PC. I did mention this above.

Go into your nvidia control panel and play around with things, i forget what nvidia labels things but there should be a monitors tab were you may have to turn on your second screen

I just tried that and it's not showing my tv even when I launch the rigorous display detection -> http://gyazo.com/ee121361f17fb18994942d5095521459 However it does show that there is another connection when I use control pannel -> http://gyazo.com/65edb64a0438b642b6f78f2f90db5df1

Yeah I did try that the first time I tried to connect but it didn't do anything at all

Tried that as well. Same result as VGA.

This must be why people say AMDs multi monitor support is better than nvidias, AMD cards as far as I can remember just do this automatically

I read that somewhere a while ago. They also mentioned that NVIDIA cards can be used for dual monitors but can only have a game on the primary and desktop, browser etc on the secondary screen (which is what I'm trying to achieve).

I'm guessing you clicked yes for the television detection enabled prompt and if thats the case then I am absolutely out of ideas.

Plug the VGA into the VGA output on your motherboard. Download the Intel display drivers from your motherboard's website. Restart the machine and see if the picture appears. If not the go into the BIOS and enable the iGPU / onboard graphics / integrated graphics / Intel graphics.
