Right so this may be a VERY dense question, I have no idea when it comes to this sort of thing so forgive me.
So right now I'm not using my TV as a monitor, I have a 22" LG monitor. I've just got a new rig and I'm about to upgrade the monitor. So when I have this new monitor it'll plug into the graphics card (HD7950) via a dvi-i to dvi-d cable I believe? As monitors generally seem to mention dvi-d connections and the GPU has a DL-dvi slot?
So once that's sorted I wanted, if possible, to have my TV as a second monitor so I could watch bbc iplayer, 4OD etc on it. Now this is what I'm not sure how to do, is it just a case of plugging a HDMI cable from the GPU to my TV and it'll just work as a second monitor without any tinkering, or is there more to it?
