To be honest I tried using a small LCD tv with a dvi to hdmi cable. But I now have another LCD monitor which is standard dvi. I'll have a look on on Tony's and have a little play. But Its interesting your older 8800gt worked so easily. Anyway thanks for the reply, I'll keep you posted on my progress. Jt, thanks mine is a new build using Tony’s aswell so I’ll have a look.

Doing a google search on your card model, hackintosh and dual monitor came back with some interesting results. A lot of the hits were really old - so I wouldn't hold much stock in them. However, there were a few from this year that seem to have some positive results. I've recently switched to a vanilla build using <a href="http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/" title="Tony Mac x86 Blog" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tony's Mac</a> stuff - great stuff and you may want to take a look over there. There is a <a href="http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/01/advanced-dsdt-fixes-nvidia-graphics.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">good article on nVidia</a> on the blog - it's really technical, but the comments are worth a read to get a hint on what to research next. -JT Ollie – The really old card I have has two DVI ports and it works like a champ.

I only have the one card and want to use two 19inch monitors for dual display. I've read that hackintosh doesn't like trying to use dual dvi from the same card. Something about sharing bandwidth? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards Ollie Hi, do you have any tips I’m trying to do the same with a nvidia 9800gtx.

I ordered the ones he told me to and when we pulled the back off of the TV, it was the same ones damaged. TV is running great now. I often wonder how many TVs are getting tossed in the dump with this cheap repair problem? If a guy worked in a recycling depot he could probably own a second had TV store fixing blown caps on peoples throw away TVs. My father in law had brought his to a repair place and it came on for the technician so he said there was nothing wrong with it and charged him $65 for turning it on. We're baffled he wasn't aware of this issue when a quick google search will bring up all kinds of cases. He was ready to go buy a new TV and ditch his Plasma but I told him to check the caps before he did since my samsung did the same and we fixed it.

Easy to do found a electrical shop they had the parts $5.00 buck each and soldered it for $5 bucks each. Tv repaired for $20.00, the hardest part was taking off the back of the cabinet had a lot of screws and you will need a star screw driver, otherwise took about 2 hours total and I have been quoted at least $160. From tv repairman. Thanks this is a great blog This is great, I did what it said replace capacitor now the tv Orkney great.
