Using my TV as pc screen..[Help] - iLegendary - 12-21-2009
I have a samsung 26" TV screen wich I want to use as my PC screen. Is it possible to buy some HDMI plugs so I can use it? or what do I have to do?
-thanks.

Most TV's should have an blue plug [Sorry, the name escapes me at the moment, haha] where you can plug your computer into? I have a Konka LCD TV that I hook my computer up to from time to time..

There's a few different ways HDMI would be your best bet, pretty sure you just need a cable, not certain, heaps of videos on youtube, here's one:

Most tv's DON'T have a VGA input. All HDMI tv's (and some older ones) WILL have a COMPONENT input.
Use the SVideo connection on the back of your graphics card. Normally the card will come with an SVideo to Conponent connector. If so you can plug the tv in using normall Yellow, red and white cables. Just be sure to match them up to the right colours (you will be plugging these into the component intput which is Blue, Green and Red).

I am using a TV screen for a monitor.
1. Your video card must recongnize it.
2. You must have proper hook ups. (HDMI or 480 720p or i S cables.)
3. ask me and I'll give you a step by step. Give me the COMPLETE details of the cables you have.

What connections does your TV have?
You can hook up via VGA (blue hole), if you can get HDMI then it'll be better quality
