I think I found the right TV- A few concerns
<< < (2/2)
Jack Burton:
You should check and see if your graphics card has component out on it's own.  It should have come with a little adapter that would look similar to this:



If you have this you can just plug straight into your component ports with now worries about conversion.  This is just a break out cable to take advantage of the extra pins in your video cards tv out port. 


BTW, there's a world of difference between a playstation's composite video output and using an rf adapter.

Hmm, There is something that looks sort of like that. The card says it has HDTV and S-Video Out. Are those HDTV cables just component ports?  :embarassed:

Jack Burton:
Yes.  All you have to do is plug those into your card then run a set of component cables from the adapter to your tv.  Then power on your computer.  It should detect the tv and configue your resolution from there. 

After power up you can then go into the control panel for your graphics card and tweak the settings from there for the best look.

Ditto, and it will be a lot better than S-Video.  The older cards had component out with the use of an adapter.
