Hey,

I am currently running dual monitors and I want to add a flat panel TV to the mix using HDMI What's the best way to set this up?

I have 2 video cards installed ATI Radeon HD 4890 but I can't seem to get the TV to work
Can anyone give me some tips?

Thanks

I connect my PC with dvi to hdmi to my TV and works just fine, if you don't get sound you need to connect a SPDIF cable from the graphic card to the motherboard

So you have two 4890's installed?

If you have crossfire enabled then you won't be able to get 3 monitors working at once. You have to disable crossfire.

upgrade your GPU to the 5800 series, it can run dual monitors and a flat panel TV all in one card, and one 5870 will out perform two 4890's

So check out the new ATI 5870 GPU's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814103084
