Hooking up a TV to your computer

(1/3) > >>

2PacMan:
Is there a tutuorial somewhere that explains exactly how to hook up and use a TV for your computer monitor?  At first i was going to use a computer monitor for MAME, now i want to use a TV instead.

Stingray:
Get a video card with S-Video or composite out.

-S

2PacMan:
And that's all i need and i'll be set?  No special software or wiring?  Do alot of people use TVs for MAME?  Is the resolution OK??  I know probably arcade monitors would be the best, but is a TV ok as well.  I need about a 19'' screen, and i don't want to pay a ton of money for a 19'' monitor, plus it's too big for my cab, it sticks out the back.

ahofle:
Yep, just make sure your TV has an S-Video input.  Some of the cheaper ones only have composite.  I have a 24" TV in my cab and I am very happy with it.

maxxonline:
Yeah I plan to go this direction as well with a 27" TV in my cab.
