Get the monitor, attach it then turn on tv & monitor then boot comp both will be detected then go to control panel or system tray & look for nvidia control panel the rest is self explanatory the only issue you'll have is the power of the comp to run two separate desktops running diff apps on each by dragging

You should know that netflix will not stay maximized on the second screen, even if you use media center. Every time you click something on the first screen, it comes out of full screen. Netflix knows about this problem, and they don't seem to care.
