right oh, heres one for the tech heads or it might just be so simple im going to be left feeling a bit stupid. i have a hp desktop from about 4-5 years ago maybe a little more but basically the start of the vista era anyway i have a hd flat screen and i want to run the pc through it but i dont have a vga input on the tv is there away round this? preferably with audio as if it were hdmi to hdmi. would a hdmi to vga cable be suitable?
im guessing if it is a HD TV you will have composite video inputs on it, you would ned to get a composite to vga cable adaptor. These inputs do not have sound attached like hdmi, the TV would probably have a mini jack input for the sound, so you would need to run an additional cable from the PC audio out port to the input on the TV also.
next to the vga port on the pc is there a white hd plug (dvi)
if there is you can use this vvvv
if not use this vvvv
i agree with the first one ben, but if the tv doesnt have vga, why would he want to use a hdmi to vga/rca, i dont think that is even possible, it would be vga OR rca never both at the same time.
i was guessing that a hd tv without a vga / hdmi input would most likely have this input on the back, the older style of hd.
what's the make and model no of the TV ill get a pdf and source it out
il have to look once i get home but it does have a hdmi port and composite input and av leads
right its a samsung ps50b430p2w and i think that first cable could be a winner ive got the hdmi bit on the tv and the other end on the pc tower
My TV has VGA so I just got a BASIC VGA to VGA lead, then select VGA from the source menu on the TV.
Option 1 will only be any good if you have an after market graphics card with a DVi output. Most onboard graphics only offer a VGA output.
If you have a non built in graphics card then option 1 will be fine.
how would i know if its an after market graphics card. its the same as it was when i bought it. its a hp7755.
Do you plug your monitor where the top circle is or the bottom?
