How to Use Two Screens on XBox

Maybe you have a group of friends coming over, and you want to link up Call of Duty to play against each other in teams of four. Or, maybe you and a friend want to play together, but each of you wants his own large screen. This is entirely possible, but it can only be done with two XBox consoles. Microsoft does not offer a method of playing on multiple screens with a single XBox.
