Connecting a pc to a tv

Asked Jul 27, 2007, 09:11 AM — 2 Answers
Hey I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get a cable to hook up my pc to my tv so I can get the audio and video through my tv. I went to best buy the other day looking for one but couldn't find any. Thanks

If laptop, look under door, in back for yellow rca, svideo or monitor jack. Some newer TV's have Monitor in. Look at all connections out, if desk top. Some Tuner Cards have
Not only a tuner with a cable input, But audio/video in and out.

Your tv would have to have RCA cables (red, white and yellow) the audio should be self evident, get a splitter that goes from the regular audio out on the computer (usually looks like a headphone jack) to RCA red a white cables (usually a few dollars)

The video would have to come from your video card directly. You need a video card with a video out connector (the yellow RCA cable). You'll probably have to buy a new video card, with that plug all 3 wires into the tv and your all set.
