TV as Monitor

I play a lot of flight simulation games. My video card is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro which is equipped with an S-Video connection. My TV is a Samsung 23" which also has an S-Video connection. Can I use the TV as my monitor. If I can, do I have to disconnect my PC monitor? How does this work. Appreciate any help.

Hi,

you can use the TV as the monitor. Simply connect it to the graphics card with an S-Video cable.

The ATI Radeon 9800 Pro is capable of running 2 monitors, so you don't have to disconnect your PC monitor, you can use them both. You can have FS on the TV and something else on the PC monitor.
