[Connectivity] T.V. as a monitor

How would I go about hooking up a tv for a monitor? Have a GeForce 6200 video card.

What connectors are available on the TV?

Re: [Connectivity] T.V. as a monitor

Just use the S-vid. In your video cards properties, you will see the option to use a TV as a monitor. Pretty simple.

your GPU needs to have a S-video output....or your card could have an HDMI connection which I doubt it does, but if it would youd need a new LCD or similar with a HDMI connection...

or a DVI to HDMI cable, which are readily available. Many cards these days have DVI ports, and most (all?) HD TV's sold in the past 2 years or so have a DVI or HDMI port. Much better quality & resolution than SVideo

Svideo out to the TV then, and then use the Nvidia software to fine tune the display on the TV

You have to use a form of HDTV for it to work well (DVI etc), if you just use s-video everything will be unreadable on it. Go for an LCD tv, it will work out (cause I use a 32" lcd tv on one of my computers).
