That depends on what kind of TV you have. Also whatever is going to be on the smaller screen (picture in picture is usually what you get,) is going to absolutely tiny.

depends on the card you have too.

Actually if youre trying to split a physical screen into displaying two different screens at same time (sort of like Picture in Picture) I dont believe that is possible
