    you wont get good quality on the tv through it: there are huge differences in the physical design of the monitor and tv, thats why we have different ones for different purposes - eg. watch a film on pc looks awful, watch on tv, looks good.

    the tv-out connections aren&#39;t high enough resolution for a computer monitor. even if you could figure out how to get it connected, it wouldn&#39;t look any good.

    if you want to run two monitors, you should buy a vga splitter, dvi splitter, or a dual-head video card (a card with both vga and dvi connectors, two vga connectors, or two dvi connectors).

    or buy a cheap PCI graphics card to add to the system, you can use both at the same time.

    Just wondering, does anyone know what the "standard" refresh rate is on a regular Television? is it higher or lower the the 50-75Mhz refresh rate of a monitor?
