Hi, I wonder if you can help me.

I'd like to use a second monitor on my PC, so for example I could view a live sports event on one while using the internet or playing a video game on the other. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks for your help.
 
That will depend on

If you display connection has two out put ports then yes.

If you system is capable of doing this with out to much strain then yes.

If you have fast enough internet speed then yes.

Thanks.
There's an HDMI2 port and a DVI port (I think) which is the GTX1060 GPU. Would these suffice?
The PC is a pretty good spec so I suppose hat should be OK.
I'm getting 14Mb d/l speed, the streaming service for the video was billed as 7 - 10 and I can't find out what the video game needs, it just says broadband connection. I'd have to try it out I guess.
 
Yes that should work personally would suggest 25 MB Download speed if not better.
Another thing that could cause an issue is if some one else was using the internet at the same time.

I think 14Mb is the best atm. No one else will be using it though.

Thanks for your help!

Unless anyone else has some advice, this thread can be closed.
