I have been using my GeForce 6500 for a year now to run both of my BenQ monitors (one on VGA, one on DVI). There is a tv-output in the form of a yellow rca connection. Can i hook this up to my tv to watch movies, while still using the two monitors?

If that isn't an option, can I set up a different profile that will use the TV for when I want to watch a movie? I don't know much about my video card.

are you kidding or do you really need a picture of it?

It goes (from left to right) DVI > Yellow RCA > VGA

I don't game, it's just for light work and watching movies. I'm planning on upgrading eventually but my HTPC is having problems and I'd like to watch a movie on my TV without too much difficulty.

From my experience no. Not sure if its a driver issue or card issue. But I have tried it with different cards and it seems that only 2 displays per actual video card can be active at the same time currently.

So for now I just disable one and enable the other it only takes me 2 clicks.

EDIT: I have only tried it with ATI cards though no Nvidia yet.
