Re: Any computer wizards?
Depends on what TV you have.
Do you have a modern LCD TV? If you do, it should be pretty simple. Its usually one lead. |

Re: Any computer wizards?
Some modern Graphics cards have HDMI outputs and all modern LCD/plasma TV's have HDMI input, if both of those are present on yours then its good with that.
If not then all Computers have analogue output (VGA blue socket, if not they come with an adaptor to change DVI to VGA) again most modern flat screens have this input... As simple as fitting a normal monitor. Hope this helps and isnt too confusing

Re: Any computer wizards?
We had a good thread about this a few days ago. It's worth a look, rather than repeat all of the advice here.
http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=119591 In brief, use a DVI to HDMI converter if your PC and TV have those, otherwise VGA. |

Re: Any computer wizards?
Take pictures of the output connectors on your graphics card (back of PC) and also take pictures of the input connectors on your TV, even better if you can also post the make and model of the TV and graphics card. Then I can advise you.
