i have h/p m7060n desktop, i want to watch movies in my hard drive on my 36" tv instead of 17" lcd monitor, my tv has s-video for in/out and my pc has s-video only for input,they are all 4 pins, in order to watch movies on tv, i need some kind of hardware for tv outlet install in my pc, anyone please tell me what kind hardware i need to get? thank in advance
no, your S-Video port is a video out. All you need is an S-Video cable to connect them together. S-Video is not video-in on anything other than a TV card.
thanks for reply sammorris, i had tried use s-video cable plug into both tv and pc, it didn't work, as i mention before, the s-video in my pc is for input only, also audio R + L, tv antenna, fm antenna, they are all in same "socket" that has labeled input from manufacture.
right, so it is a TV card. I was assuming it was an S-Video port on the graphics card. Your best bet is probably to get a physical graphics card rather than use onboard graphics.
Anything cheap will do, like an HD3450, assuming you have a PCI express 16x slot on your motherboard.
Looked it up, the m7060n doesn't have PCI express or AGP, so your only option is an outdated PCI card - it'll do, but they're not cheap. I'd recommend something like a PCI Radeon 9250.
i googled PCI Radeon 9250, but is that high mb and higher bit will have better graphic? you think nvidie best? how do i know they are compatible to my pc? thanks again
What you said doesn't make any sense, and no, ATI cards are generally better than nvidia in terms of image quality, though there's not a lot in it.
