2 TVs connected to yamaha avr

[Andrein]

Hi,

I recently bought 27 inch monitor to watch movies from short distance. But then got a doubt that 27 inch might be not enough. So today I bought 40 inch 4k TV. Need to choose between these 2.

I would like to connect them both to my yamaha avr using hdmi cables. Yamaha avr hasv2 hdmi outputs (one of them for zone 2). I tried connect to both outputs one at a time. It worked without any re configuration. Can I try both at once? Will it work? Is it safe for avr?

I can't see what harm it could do to the avr....and if it indeed has the capability of both output simultaneously (what does the manual say?).....

I am not 100% sure. It says first ot is ARC and second is for zone 2. Dont know if i can use them at the same time.

Either it's limited by zone or not....one way to find out

Yeah, just wanted to double check. Don't want to blow something up. Will do the tests today.

I would keep the larger TV unless you don’t watch TV often in that room.

My TVs are 39 bedroom,54 living room, &65 in the Den.

Fair enough. In my case from 5 feet 40 inch tv is like in cinema. Defenitly better than 27 inch.

Checked last night. Both monitor ant tv worked at the same time. Though monitor was a bit sharper, overal I liked Panasonic gx800b more. So Acer h277hk is going back.
