So I have a Radeon 7950 with a DVI out, HDMI out, and 2 mini displayport outs. The HDMI out is being used to connect my flat screen television. What I want to do is find a way to use the old CRT TV as a second screen. That tv only has the old AV inputs. I have seen converter boxes to get to AV, but they seem to be HDMI to AV. The problem with that is I am using the HDMI port for my flat screen tv. So, what is the best solution at the lowest price? By the way, I would prefer to buy off of Amazon.
 
Why? The quality of using a PC on a CRT screen is almost unreadable, especially just going over a AV jack and not even component. Buy a few cheap monitors if you want, but you will spend more on convertors than this is worth. I mean you could go displayport to hdmi to hdmi to av, but that is going to cost large.
 


The reason I wanted to do this is because the old TV is just collecting dust and I would like to use it is to be able to check the internet and watch videos while playing games on my main screen.
