I connected my computer to the TV monitor, so I can watch movies on the big screen. I was able to do that. However, my computer only supports one screen. So, in order to connect to the TV, I need to unplug the computer monitor and plug the TV monitor in. What do I need to buy in order to see the same view on both, computer and TV. Thanks!

Do you mean like use one monitor for 2 computers? I have that setup. You'll want to try a KVM switch or something similar. Check with your local electronics store.

A KVM switch will allow you to leave all the connections in place and then pick if the signal goes to the TV or the monitor.
If you want to see both at the same time, you need a splitter box
Or a dual head video card, running in clone mode.

Yeah. Depending on where you live either get one off amazon.co.uk (United kingdom) or amazon.com (United States Of America). On amazon they are really cheap.
