gaming monitor hdmi image

Me.

I have an HDMI cable to connect my PC to the HDTV, but I just bought a new gaming monitor today and I'm wondering how to setup the PC with HDMI on my new monitor. I have a Ati Radeon HD 4870 so I know my GPU is HDMI compatible.

Answer
i got the same problem pal i have ben trying to get my computer to use the hdmi cable for hours now . but the freaking thing just wont do it ! . i think you need download some drivers and get a program called nvdia control center but since your using an ATI card i recon it would have to be another program i think its called catalyst control center but im not sure . downloading drivers is what worked for me in the past when i was using windows 7 . unfortunately its not working for me now as i am using vista

is it possible to use a Computer Monitor that has an HDMI as tv?

Weech0

so im thinking of buyin a gaming monitor but i also want to use it as a TV. will it work if it has an hdmi? if not what will i need to make it work.

Answer
yes that will work. Considering you have DirecTV, Dish, or HD Cable box with a HDMI out. If you have Rabbit ears or a giant antenna outside then you will need a HD converter/tuner box. then it is not worth it.

I am building a new computer the gpu i am getting is a gtx 780 my questions is can i have one monitor running thru hdmi. And have a dvi to 2 female vga with all three monitors running at the same time. The hdmi will be for gaming while the other two will be for music and internet explorer to pull up stuff when im stuck in the game and need help.??

Answer
GTX 780 supports 3 monitors, but not with VGA unless you try DisplayPort adapters. DVI is digital, VGA is analog.
"Only one of these video cards is necessary to drive triple-displays and NVIDIA 3D-Vision Surround functionality, when using both DL-DVI and either the HDMI or DP connection for third output." http://archive.benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1144&Itemid=72&limit=1&limitstart=1
There is a question about 3 displays--Surround tech links all three together into a triple wide single image. You want three images, all for different functions.

Then just plug in your speaker/headset into the 3.5mm jack. If you don't have speakers, you can't have sound.
