How would I get 3 Monitors working at once?

[paulams516]

I just recently built this computer and I'm really into testing a bunch of things with it.
One of these are getting a third monitor up and running. The 3rd monitor is actually my TV. Its connected by HDMI as the 2 monitors are connected by DVI. All I want to do is make the TV duplicate monitor 1 (main display). I'm doing this so I could watch a movie on my 55inch. For the graphics card I'm running a Radeon HD 6950.

Monitor 1- Asus VE247H 24-Inch Full-HD LED Monitor - DVI
Monitor 2- Asus VE247H 24-Inch Full-HD LED Monitor - DVI

Hoping Monitor 3 - LG Cinema Screen 55LM8600 55-Inch - HDMI

Graphics Card - Sapphire Radeon HD 6950


Just want to know what 3rd party program or extra parts I'd need to purchase to get this going.

Thanks in advance.

With AMD GPU's, in order to use a third monitor you have to use a display port cable.

I just received the display port. Now I'm still running into a wall with installing 3 screens.
Anything I possibly could be missing?

Yes...now you have to use Eyefinity to setup all three monitors.

He doesn't want to use Eyefinity for his application.
He wants to use Extended Desktop with a Clone of the Primary.
Eyefinity makes multiple screens into 1 giant screen.

You have to make sure all 3 screens are detected. Looks like 1 and 3 are on the same screen.
I saw the same thing a few weeks ago when I was setting up a clients laptop with 3 monitors using 2 USB to dvi adapters.
Just played with the settings till windows saw 3 distinct displays, like in the pic that I posted of my machine.

Would doing the same thing work for two monitors
