Computer on TV?

Post by Peterr »

I'm trying to get my computer screen to show up on my TV in pretty good quality. The tv is a 42 inch plasma tv.
My main goal is to download movies onto my computer and watch them in good quality on the TV. Our school has done it before but with a different TV.

Anyone know anything about this?

Edit:
I found a need a S-audio/video cable, but it needs to be more than 3 ft.

Anyone?

just plug an s-video cable into your PC from the TV then find a screen resolution to match the TV.

Buy a graphics card with a HDMI port or even a DVI port then buy a DVI-to-HDMI. It's how I do it.
