    Does anyone know if I can hook up my computer to a TV and my monitor at the same time so I can watch a movie or stream shows on my TV and still surf the internet at the same time?  Thanks so much for any help offered.

    Yes., if the TV has HDMI input.
    Get a dual monitor video card with a HDMI port.
    You need a good internet connection.

    Also, there are other ways to do it. Some Android Tablets have HDMI output. And there is the Roku device which uses Wi-Fi.

    The PC/vid card needs to support dual-monitors...
