    2 monitors?

    You might need a splitter which will split the signal that the pc outputs into 2 signals which you can then plug into 2 separate monitors.

    I think this is what you mean but i'm not fully sure could you please be more specific?

    Basically, I want to be able to watch a video file on the HD output jack(rs-232?)connected to my plasma and have a seperate window on my laptop that I can work in.
    What I was thinking, was, have one processor run the plasma output and the other processor run the laptop screen.
    I can do it with stacked windows now but I keep having to re-size the video or move it around the screen...hope that's clear, thanks-scott

    buy or obtain a copy of 'ultramon' install it, and set it up, this will allow you to have two functioning monitors that can view different things on them. treat your plasma as monitor two and move the video to it, and then you can still use your laptop screen as the primary monitor.
