Hi Dual Clone and Welcome,

Could you please fill in your system specs on your forum profile so we know what we're working with?

Importantly:

• what make/model is your graphics card?
• Does it support two screens?
• Have you loaded the graphics card software and drivers that came with it?
• Can you see two screens in display settings (Control Panel | Display | Screen
  Resolution)?
• If you see 2 screens are both enabled?
  
• Did your new monitor come with an install disk?

I'm sure we'll be able to help you further, hang in there and get back to me.

-Timo

Two other thoughts based on the new info:

Your monitor may have a swtich on the front to change from VGA to HD, have a look for that and press it. It also might be in the monitor configuration menu, or accessed via an AUTO button.

For testing purposes, lower your screen resolution to the monitors native resolution. This should be written somewhere in it's documentation.

Also open the Nvida control panel and use it to configure your two monitors, it will be a lot easier. You can usually find this in windows control panel. Good luck. I'll wait to see how you go.

EDIT: Mine is a much older card, but your set up (in the NVIDIA control panel) should like something like this screen. Try to swap them around like I have as well (i.e. 2,1 as apposed to 1,2).

Hi, i have tried all mention above, but nothing works , i dunno why its very weird .

Hmm... I need to take a closer look then

Could you please upload a screen print of the nvidia control panel and the windows display settings (the same two that I posted). Also please let me know the resolution and refresh rate for each display.

   Tip

Take the screen print using the Snipping Tool (available in the accessories folder on the Start Menu. Upload it using the Paper Clip icon on your seven forums post window.

EDIT: Lastly double check those cables and make sure they are in nice and solid.

WIll do!

Ok i was taking the photo and i posted it into my Paint.net This is how it looked! The PIC01 Clearly shows that it was expaned

A couple of things,

1. Make sure that the resolution for the 17" isn't set any higher than it can support. Can't help with that as the only thing I can find for that TV is this,

LCD - *#*WEEKEND SPECIAL*#* 17" (43cm) SANSUI LCD TV - VERY GOOD CONDITION!!! was sold for R950.00 on 15 Nov at 20:04 by drewzah in Pretoria / Tshwane (ID:17135551)

and a link back to this thread.

2. How is it connected to the video card?

 

[badclone]

HI Stormy13 its connected the same way as the screen im using

 

[stormy13]

Could you please upload a screen print of the nvidia control panel and the windows display settings (the same two that I posted). Also please let me know the resolution and refresh rate for each display.

Could you please post what both are set too.

 

[badclone]

my first one is at 1280x1024
The second one is at 1280x980

 

[stormy13]

That seems a little on the high side for a 17" LCD TV. If you can find them, you might want to find the proper specs for it and see what the supported resolutions are.

 

[badclone]

Ok cool thx , But my screen is still showing blue ? Shows Nothing

 

[stormy13]

But my screen is still showing blue

Could be its attempt at trying to tell you that the resolution it is set to is too high. Try setting the resolution to something smaller like 1024x768, and if that doesn't do it go lower to 800x600.

 

[badclone]

Ok cool ! thanks

 

[badclone]

Thanks dude !!!!!!!!! Omw ta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[badclone]

So is this the only way i can run it ? Cuz its really really BIG

 

[stormy13]

You need to find the exact specs for that TV and what resolutions it is capable of supporting (wouldn't happen to have the owners manual would you?). Using the model number that you posted all I can find on it that link I posted a while ago and a link back to this thread,

Sansui SV-1750LCD - Google Search

without that information anything is trial and error, and even then you won't jknow if it is correct or not.
