Using two flat screen monitors on one PC

[mcquiggd]

Still not quite the same as watching a movie on a DLP projector.....

Or playing Rome: Total War on the equivalent of a 70" screen, with a 7.1 speaker set up.

You're not that noisy bugger that lives upstairs from me are you ?

Errrm, sorry about the noise of dying Gauls...

They make such a fuss when they get hit by flaming arrows.

And the Incendiary Pigs do make a racket, but are not as loud as the War Elephants, it has to be said.

I use the s-video out on my laptop which plugs into my sky box then into the TV. When I put my skybox into standby, I get the second screen, after activating it in the display settings control panel.

I only get a vga resolution, but it's fine for playing back movies.

I pump my audio out through my DVD player which has 5.1. I know the output from the PC isn't 5.1, but the sound clarity is better than the internal speakers.
