So this little card CAN have different images on each port? That would
be cool. I was just going to hook my puter to the TV so that I could
watch some videos on the TV. My TV is HD. My 20 year old TV just got
tired and got all weird. It wasn't worth fixing either. Heck, I save
enough on the light bill to pay for this new one.
This could be neat.
