What does it take in order to hook up my computer to my TV?

i was told you could use one of these: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...video&doy=18m5

or you could get a tv tuner in your computer so you can watch TV on your pc: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...tuner&doy=18m5 (there are chaeper or more expensive ones aswell)

Hope this helps,

i have a radeon 128 meg video card allows me to watch whats on my pc so I can watch it on tv I use my pc speakears to listen .You need s video cable

I liked to hook my pentuim4 dell on my tv as well! wat types of cords will i need?

i looked at the site u had given me, do u think stores like best buy would have these supplies?

i dont know, sorry. you could try going to your local electrical store and they will tell you exactly what you need, the price, the sizes etc.... you will probably need to tell them what connections you have on your graphics card and tv (usualy the chords that go to the TV are scart or composite and the end that goes into the pc is usualy s-video, composite and i think i have seen a VGA (monitor) one)

yep just get a s-video cable not pricy any store will have it when u buy video card make sure it has s- video at back of it

This is a question. Not a statement. Because I don't know for sure. in order for all the suggestions given in these threads/posts ( not sure which is which) to work doesn't your TV screen have to be a monitor and not just a plain old TV screen? circusboy

no, there are cables you can get to connect your pc to tv

there are LCD tv's which you can plug into your pc via the usual cable (VGA) and watch TV on it aswell
