Can i plug in a TV and a regular computer monitor at the same time? I'll buy whatever connections I need - but can it be done?

The back of the tower has one hdmi port, and one vga port. I hooked up dual monitors (both the same) using an hdmi to vga adapter. I suppose you can hook up anything as long as you can find an adapter to make the second port work.

Yes, there is a DVI port and a VGA port so you can connect 2 monitors at once: both digital & analog.

Yes you can use this as a monitor. Just plug your source HDMI cable from the instruement you wish to provide the audio/video programming from into one of the multiple HDMI input plugs, then be sure to select the proper 'source' from the remote.

If you can output from the computer, should be OK. Don't have any info about your computer output, so can't be sure - if you have a cable connection or not. If so, then probably OK. Considering the many options of TV cards for computers, and their nuances - -the best way to answer the question is to hook it up and try it. Should not damage anything - it either works or it does not! Should not need to connect both - if it works on one, the splitter will probably take care of the one. Happy trials - - -

You can use a dedicate computer monitor, or tv as a monitor as well with the computer monitor port on it. You could use a tv yo are already using, and then simply switch to that input when you would like to view it. I also beieve that a monitor dips necessary for initial set up as well..recording preferences etc...

This thing doesn't need to be hooked up to a computer to operate. You just need a TV or computer monitor. Sorry, but I don't have enough of a Geek background with this to know if it can be hooked up to any computer.

I don't think you can. You can only use one monitor at a time with this switch. I use mine to watch movies that are streamed on my PC and have it connected to my TV. I also had to connect an audio cable from my PC to my TV.

Actually, you can just use 1 DVI cable, 1 HDMI cable and 1 Displayport cable for the other monitors. You need monitors that have the connections though.

only if your computer will allow you to change to tv output. just hooking this up won't do it by itself.

Yes, you can connect this from a laptop with an HDMI video port to an TV with RCA A/V inputs. However, please know that this is not a very high quality converter. The best usage would be to display videos and movies as someone else already mentioned that text, such as your computer desktop, will be almost illegible. This will not suffice as a solution to a second computer monitor. Watching movies will be ok and honestly, the smaller the TV screen size that you use, the better the picture will appear.

No. Both must be digital connections. DVI and HDMI. You can use converter on either port

Yes just plug it in if you have the red yellow and white ports in back of TV. Will not tie up computer completely separate.

Yes, you can use a VGA cable or a RCA adapter plug (check the link below) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005B4O4GG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Provided you have a HMDI,DVI,or lighting port on your computer, yes. You may need an adapter cable, but virtually any computer in the last couple decades will be able output a signal the TV will use.

Yes you can. That is exactly my setup at work. You could also hdmi out to another independent monitor and usb out to another if you wanted. Thanks rMBP!
