Hi Ted,

I don't have split screen but I do have my external monitor running dual
purposes. Most LCD monitors have double or triple inputs these days. And
many PCs have 2 or more video outputs. You hook up the P3 SVGA card to the
VGA input of the monitor and you hook up the DVI monitor input to the DVI
output from your PC. (Your primary PC monitor would run off of the VGA
output of your PC).

My monitor has a button on the front that allows it to be quickly switched
between the VGA (P3) and the DVI (PC) inputs. You would want to avoid a
monitor that does not have a dedicated button. And while I am an electrical
engineer I think I explained this in layman terms.

73,
Mike K2MK
