MoogleViper Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Is there a way to connect my pc to my TV? I haven't much room for a monitor in my room so I thought it would be better if I could use my TV instead. If so what would I need?
MoogleViper Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 So... what would I need exactly? Yeah I'm stupid.
Charlie Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 What type of TV do you have? What connections does it have?
Triple_C Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I've got this odd little gizmo that connects from a socket in the laptop to the scart sockets on the TV. Here is what I have: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-S-Video-PC-DVD-VHS-Out-to-Scart-TV-Device-Cable_W0QQitemZ250174950278QQihZ015QQcategoryZ41993QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Didn't buy it off ebay though. You'll want this if you have a desktop. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VGA-to-3-COMPONENT-CABLE-FOR-PC-LAPTOP-LCD-TV-DISPLAY_W0QQitemZ180169244880QQihZ008QQcategoryZ32837QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Just put it where you put you screen into. That isn't that clear, if you don't understand, I'll try and explain it better.
MoogleViper Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 It's a 21" tv-dvd combo CRT. Not quite sure but I know it has AV, 2 Scarts, the normal aerial thingy (serial?) and that's about all I know. Cheers CCC. What would the picture quality be like?
Triple_C Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Either of the things I said should work, depending on whether you are using a desktop or a laptop
MoogleViper Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 I have a desktop. I might just get it and see seeing as it's quite cheap. (I need the second one right?)
Triple_C Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Yeah, the second one. I hope it works out for ya. EDIT: For me the picture quality isn't great, but then again, its a bad quality screen to begin with, and then you double it in size. Not the nicest thing to look at.
tapedeck Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I went through all of this with my old TV and the picture quality just wasn't worth it. your better getting a TV with PC connections. Really, it's the future
Shorty Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 your pc through a crt tv isn't gonna look any good dude
