Computer help!?

Question

Hi! I know there's a way to plug your computer to your TV (use your TV as a computer screen) and that you need a special cable for it... What is it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

you wont have the best picture, but here's a link showing you how: http://www.howtodothings.com/electronics/a3543-how-to-use-your-tv-as-a-computer-monitor.html

Answer 2

There is only one way to do this with a desktop (which I actually use).
Your Tv must be a modern plasma/lcd telly and have a port which looks like one on the back of a computer.
all you need is a monitor cable you can get this from currys for about £10-15 seems expencive but it's cool and cheaper than getting a 42in computer screen.


ps some laptops have s-video ports so you can get a s-video lead which plugs into most TVs (you can get a scart -- s-video adapter for a few £'s)

Answer 3

An S-video cable or some new tvs have the same connection as a computer monitor and the cable from your pc will work.

Answer 4

You might want a VGA cable (To make sure, check what it says in the back of the TV)

It actually depends what kind of computer it is (Desktop, Laptop, etc.)

Answer 5

you need a S-video cable....u can see and order one here..
