iv seen people use there tv as there moniter for there computer i was wondering how to do that can any one help me
sniping, did you even read what he asked ? @gunot05 : you'll need a converter, like this one : http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/PC-TV_video_adapter.html Mind you, that's just an example, there are tons more that might be better/cheaper, do a google search, and ask around. Also, some motherboards come with s-video and composite video outputs, so check the back of your pc, maybe you'll only need some cables to do it. Example would be this : http://www.svideo.com/svideoscart.html
lol you need a graphics card with a S-VIDEO input i dont really know where you can get one because i have a lap top and mine is built in
wow...you're right, dan. is it so hard to see that gunot05 is asking to use his tv as a computer monitor and not how to watch tv on his pc?
That depends on what mobo/graph card you have. Make sure you properly read my 1st post, and check the links i provided.
ok so from what i get i need the converter because my computer doesnt have the s cable input in the back
you mean "output," not "input," right? yeah, you need a converter that will take your vga connection (that normally goes to your monitor) and run it into component cables or something along those lines, which can be run to your tv. i believe there are many such units out there that will split the signal, allowing it to be run to both a typical monitor and tv at the same time, though they will display the same images.
no, you don't *need* one, but certain converters will allow you the option in the future, should you chose it.
the reason i wanna hook mp computer to my tv is becase i lent my moniter to one of my friends and they broke it
umm, okay....the advice given to you by myself, and the others i imagine, still stands. just know in advance that unless you are using a really good lcd tv or an hdtv or something, your picture is really going to suck when it comes to anything like typing, cruising the net, etc.
my tvs like sum cheap ass tv that i bought for 120 brand new and all the buttons fell off it LMFAO so im prolly better off buyin a new moniter ??
considering your tv runs at some resolution like 640x480 and most computers run at 1024x768 or higher, depending on the viewer's preference, i would most definitely say "yes."
well, you still could; i'm simply recommending that you don't make the tv your primary monitor. it would eventually cause some eye damage, too, i'm sure.
