Add 2nd monitor with projector and 1st monitor

[awrw]

We are currently using Zionworx with the following setup.
PC with Nvidia Geforce G210 graphics linked by VGA to projector (2nd display shows words in dual/extended view) and by DVI to PC's own flat screen for song selection / operator use (main display). This is working well.

We would now like to add a 2nd flat screen - preferably a HDTV - this would have the same display as the projector - for display to the worship team.

What would be the best way to do this - could we split the VGA projector signal to the PC using a VGA splitter cable / box and run this 2nd cable to the 2nd screen as a VGA/HDMI link ? (I have tried to do this using a VGA splitter cable and a 2nd flat screen monitor and am getting no display - only a green light on the 2nd monitor)

Would be grateful for any help.

Rather than a splitter cable, which requires the video card to have enough power to drive two monitors, we use a video splitter/distribution amp. Here is one Amazon sell in the UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Vi ... 16&sr=8-12.

We have used this for years without issue. Our 2nd screen output goes to the projector (VGA) and a second screen for the PC operator (because they cannot see the projection screen well from where they sit).
