First of all i'd like to say hello to everyone, this is my first post. I recently purchased an LCD TV that has an VGA input so i hooked it up to my desktop computer which is an older Dell 1100 that has been upgraded to a P-3 from a Celeron. Also maxed out the RAM. I would like to hook up my monitor also and have a dual monitor system. I'm not looking to get fancy here. What i would like to do is to be able to use my TV to watch/listen to news broadcasts etc while using my monitor to work/surf. I'd like to do this inexpensively and am considering using a VGA splitter. Now, i know that a splitter just clones the two monitors so if i have my TV Input set to PC i will be viewing my desktop on both the TV and the monitor. What i would like to know is can i switch the Input on the TV from PC to TV will my monitor still show my desktop?
