I use my 32" LCD TV for my tower PC, been using it like this for months, you need good graphics software to select the correct resolution for your panel otherwise it will be blury. So find out the actual resolution of the panel and try and set it in display properties. For example mine was 768x1280 so I had to setup my graphics to display on that resolution. Use 768x1024 and the picture will distort.

Cheers john, been a major help

or get a better graphics card with dvi then get a hdmi - dvi cable, simple

One of these

and

one of these

in lengths of your choice.

no the tv would replace my monitor? so stil im confused on what i need :lol:

If it's only to be used with the tv and not a monitor as well what you've got will do fine.

I was thinking you were wanting to use it as well as a monitor.

you could use a KVM switch :)

Basically iv bought a laptop and i wanna run the tower through the tv for shear downloading and games, and leave the laptop free of junk, so will i not be very good thro my tv?

you could link me to what cables i would need from ebay could you? im useless with this stuff

Onboard graphics, the only way to do it with that set up would be to get a vga splitter cable, which would show the same on both monitor and tv, which won't have the same resolutions and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm with the same as that green one for the sound on both ends.

It won't be a very good set up, you'd really have to get a graphics card with 2 outputs.

Hows that one? best i could do with where the pc is postioned

Need pics of the computer, or what one of the pictures I posted it has.

I use one of these

Just uploadin picks of the panels now, do you all use wireless keyboards with mouse pads on or what?

You will have one of










If you tell us what one we can better advise.

that's how mine is connected
