Greetings,\n\nIf you have a video card with TV-Out, connect the TV-Out cable to your video card, then other end to your TV. Make sure the TV and Computer (optionally) are turned off, since they're both running on electric power and a simple spark could render your graphic card useless.

you need a video card that has TV-out ability.\n\nplease note that vid cards of recent manufacture usually only have an S-video out connection.  If you need a coaxil connection for your older TV, (like mine,) you may need to look for it online.\n\nhope this helps.

yes you can...what you need is a video card with "video in" or a tv-capture card.\n\nhere is a site that offers them and tutorials on how to do it\n\nhttp://www.videoguys.com/vidcap.htm

If I remember correctly, those cables are hard to come by or don't exist at all(and even if they exist, I think they were pretty expensive).\n\nTry looking here:\n\n http://www.monoprice.com\n\nMight be easier to either use your s-video (assuming you have one) or finding a HDTV that supports VGA inputs.\n\nI guess you could also try using a little box to do it for ya.  Something like this:\n\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GXP-2000-PB&cpc=SCH

First your TV must have A/V (audio video) input.  The red and white  plugs are normally used for the audio.\nIf your computer has an audio out/speaker out with this type of \nplug  then simply connect the two and set the TV to the A/V input\nThe computer's audio will play on the TV. \n\nIf your TV only has an antenna input then you will need some type of conveter an old VRC works great.  Hook up the wires from the computer to the audio input of the VCR and take the antenna out to the TV. (You will need an RF cable - one probably came with the VCR)   Set the TV on the VCR's output channel normally 3 or 4 and the VCR's input to A/V.

you are fine just right click on the desktop on the laptop and then click on propertys then click on setings you will see there are 2 computer screens there click identify your laptop should be 1 and the tv should be 2 from there click on number 2 and then put a check mark in both of the boxes that ask if you want to use this as your main screen then click apply your laptop screen should go black and your icons should come up on the tv

add a PCI/AGP graphic card that has TV out port (S-Video), or maybe RCA adapters

It sounds like what you are looking for is a High Definition LCD TV that you can also use as a computer monitor. \n\nIf this is correct, the Dell W2607C 26" LCD HDTV may be a good choice. Here's the link at the Dell Canada site:\n\nhttp://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/lcd_w2607c?c=ca&cs=CADHS1&l=en&s=dhs#tabtop\n\nHowever, there is a limitation on the resolution when used with a computer. For best results you need to run the unit at its native resolution, 1366 x 768.\n\nThis is a relatively low res when compared to dedicated computer LCD monitor. Of course they don't have built-in tuners or remotes.\n\nHope this helps.

you need :\n\na S-video-out port on the Sony-viao\na S-video cable\nto know what channel your TV's alternate input, a/v input, (it is likely the same channel you use to play DVD's on your TV, assuming you can and do.)\nAnd last Windows XP\n\n1. With the Laptop off, plug S-video cable in, turn on TV.\n\n2. Turn-on Laptop, when at desktop, and all programs are loaded.\n\n3. right-click on the desktop, choose 'properties', when the 'Display Properties' window opens.\n\n4. Click the 'settings' tab.  You should see 2 monitors.\nMake sure your Laptop monitor is #1 and on the left of the TV, if not, then click it and drag it to the left.\n\n5. Click the down-arrow, choose the TV monitor, Clear the check-box for 'extend my windows desktop to this monitor' if not already clear.  This will make your TV display the same thing as your laptop.\n\n6. click the down-arrow, choose the laptop monitor, check 'set as primary monitor'\n\nclick 'ok', and 'ok' again.\n\nHope this helps !

Install a TV card - if its not on free to air TV, you may have to get Foxtell hooked up as well.

You have to have a video card that supports this.\nSee the link for more info

Possible, yes.\nAll you need is A/V outputs on your TV which I'm sure you have and a graphics card that has A/V inputs.  There are many out there.\nAnd of course the cables to connect the two.

I suggest you get a 256 mb graphic card and make sure the hdtv has a dvi output. If it doesn't your dead.

if your Video card built inside the mother board does not have any other plug than the monitor output, simply buy a converter to adjust the plug. if you do have any plugs than can be used as out put, plug it in then go to Disply options and switch to the other display adapter, then click on ( make this my primery display ) or such a thing

You need to get a special Video Card.  Unless your Plasma Screen has Ports for hook up to your computer.\n\nI know for sure that ATI Radeaon (I don't think I spelled that correctly) makes some.  Some or all are called All-In-Wonder (by ATI).  I think they also work both ways so you can get cable on your Computer.

yes, as long as your video card has a tv-out socket (s-video). you then can use the tv as a monitor - but remember that the resolution of tv is much lower than your monitor, so it won't be much good for reading text. it would be ok for playing games or watching movies though...

U Have got Two methods to accomplish it.\nThe First One is to buy a TV Tuner Card and insert into a Slot on ur Comp Moother Board.\nConnect Cable To it.\nInstall necesssary Software for it.\nAdvantage is that u can capture the Video/Audio, can switch from Comp to TV or Vice -versa.\n\nDisadvantage is Power Consuming bcoz, Whole system even Key Board, Mouse, Monitor, CPU everyting shud be functional.\n\nThe Second one is to buy a External Device which is available in Market. Connect it to Only Monitor.\nNo need of Installation of Software.\nEnjoy viewing TV with the Help of Remote Control also.\n\nAdvanatge is Power Consumption is Less.\nDisadvantage is NO CAPTURING.
