Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 16:46 GMT Sorry I'm a real novice. Can I use my TV as a computer screen? I was to subscribe to MLB.com and watch baseball games. What do I need? How do I do it? Can I do it with a laptop? I have a Samsung 6167 61" TV. |

Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 20:57 GMT if you have a conventional, non HD CRT television, don't bother.. it looks HORRIBLE.
If you have a plasma, LCD, or DLP HDTV with HDMI or DVI input, you can connect a video card with DVI output right to the TV, and configure the video drivers for the television's resolution. |

Posted on Monday, November 15, 2010 - 03:35 GMT Welcome to eCoustics cdavidson!
You don't take the easy way to hook your PC!
The easy way is buy a new Graphic card with a HDMI output!
Is your Graphic card is built-in on the mother board?
The problem with your setup is that the graphic chips will not recognize your TV like a monitor then you will not get a picture! |
