trying to make a multi tasking computer to set up on my main t.v to also watch blu-ray.Haven't decided on a mobo yet so my question is what is a good card to make the best use out of blu-ray with 1080p.Do I need to go sli to get the same performance as a stand alone blu-ray player.Need a card with dual monitor out so I can switch from the main screen to a smaller monitor in living room.that way I can watch t.v and get on the computer at the same time.Is this even posible with a dual monitor set up.I don't want to keep unplugging and plugging back in the monitors to veiw each display(50"t.v & 20") computer monitor.I'm not running cable t.v through my p.c

well all cards mostly these days will have 2 moniters but for your tv what you need is to make shure ur tv has a dvi port or your video card has s video out i dont think you will need sli either iv seen a 64mb onboard graphics card play a 720i file like REALLY good so you wont need sli

HDMI is equal to DVI with audio embedded. So any dual-DVI card with HDCP support is sufficient.

Anything in here will work.

Almost all cards will come with an adapter.
