    2 LCD's from 1 PC

    what is the best way to run the video output to 2 LCD's from the PC. i will be installing a second LCD in my car and i figured i better prepare before-hand. i was told just use a splitter, but i am guessing i will lose quality (please correct me if i am wrong). thanks.

    I reckon the splitter would work okay, if not..... your gonna need some sort of video amplifier.....?

    are u gonna run the same image on both screens?

    if its rca inputs then you might be able to split it find with no video amp. I'm not so sure with VGA

    what kind of connections...

    rca.. just get a splitter... but you might need an amp...

    vga... you might have to buy a 2 monitor video card, there are also vga splitters, but they require power, usually DC... not a problem in the car, just build a small regulator circuit...
