What do buy to split DVI output from CPU to monitor & plasma TV

[CMeyst]

I've got a computer which only has one video output -- DVI and I want to share it with my LCD monitor and my plasma TV, both of which work off the same cable if I switch it. I'd like to get some kind of splitter to allow the output to show on both the monitor and the TV at the same time. I've googled for DVI splitters, but got so many results (with different kind of plugs, etc.) that I'm not sure what to get. Can someone suggest something? Thanks.

DVI is point to point, high speed differential signalling. No splitting, at least not from a card that doesn't have twin channels on one plug to begin with.

You're going to need a dual-DVI graphics card and run it in clone mode.

Peter, someone else found this -- see link

Is there reason to think this would not work?

Thanks

I think I already told you why it won't. Maybe at low enough frequencies it will - but on the upper end (HDTV, highres displays), getting the signal shape right is hard enough even if you don't mess around with splitters.
