my hd tv has a vga connection but pc has only one output , is it possible to connect pc to tv whilst still being connected to pc monitor as well.

You need a VGA Splitter. Not cheap though.

Your monitor will almost definately have a differrent resolution than your TV, it may be worth throwing down Ã‚Â£30 for a cheap dedicated gpu with two outputs.

When you say you PC has only one output do you mean only one VGA output or only one output total? Only asking because I needed to connect my HDTV via VGA and my graphics card (Radeon 9600) had a DVI output also, and I got a VGA adapter off ebay for a few pounds and the results are very good. If it's got any other kind of output, you may well be able to get an adapter for it. You've probably already checked this hence the question, but just a thought.

be warned if you get an nvidia card, the ass wipes disabled dual view in their driver updates this time last year and although most cards come with dual dvi now you cant connect anything like a projector to your pc and run video through it.
