hey guys...I'm having a little trouble getting this to work and was wondering if I could get some help on here. After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that I was going to need an active display port to connect my TV (42LG30) to my computer (which has 2 monitors). What I would like to do is extend the display on my main screen onto my TV. So this is what I bought online:
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE DisplayPort to DVI-D Dual Link Adapter Model 100915 - Video Card Accessories
Now, before I had a VGA cable going from my comptuer to my TV so I bought a VGA to DVI adapter to connect the display port to the VGA cable. Here is the adapter:
Newegg.com - KINGWIN ADP-04 DVI-D Male (24+1 pin) To VGA HD 15 Female Adapter - Adapters & Gender Changers
After connecting everything together, I am still getting the error message that I cannot use the third monitor without disabling another one. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Is it the VGA cable that is causing the problem? Thanks guys!
