hey guys...well i need a lot of help i have downloaded movies and i really want to watch thm on my TV...now i bought my s-video cable....(by the way i have a hp pavilion ze4300) and i connected it to the TV...i press video1,2,3....and doesnt show up....i have tried my function keys......i have tried the key where it saids fn and with it i have pressed f5.....and nothing.....i really want to get this working....please help me out thanks a lot!!

 

I have the answer - at least it worked for me. Go back to my earler question in this thread - dated March 31. The AverMedia QuickPlay I bought works great for video from laptop to tv - including powerpoint. My problem was no audio. I found out that it doesn't do audio!! For audio, all I had to do was connect my laptop to the tv by connecting from the headphone jack on my laptop to the audo rca jacks on my tv. You can get the connecting cords at Radio Shack, Bust Buy, etc. to make this connection. This works!

Hello everybody. I was wondering if anyone knew how to set up a flat screen CRT television as a monitor. I've got my laptop connected to my TV, and it works fine, but the picture is bowed out on the sides like it would be on a standard TV. I see "Generic Television" in the device manager, and I was wondering if there was a way to chage that to "Flat Screen" or something like that. Thanks. FYI, I'm using ATI integrated graphics and UltraMon to manage the displays.

 

hmm lets see anyone will answer this. I have an hp a645c with a gforce 440 card with s video output, once i get a new tv(flat screen 32") you're saying i'll be able to connect it to the tv and use the tv as my monitor? for surfing, programs, vids, and such?

won't the screen be all screwy like bitmappy? and such, I have heard this.

reading some of the links now. will post back up later on.

 

I realize I am pretty late in this discussion so if I repeat anything I appologize. The easiest way to connect a PC to a TV is through a PC-to-TV Scan converter. These are plug-n-play devices that connect to the VGA on your PC then to your S-Video or Composite on your TV. They range in price from about $79 to $699, but the most popular we sell for home use is the AVerKey iMicro or the QuickPlay (since you really won't need the advanced presentation features of the more expensive ones). See here for information about all of our scan converters: http://www.aver.com/2005home/product/pc_to_tv/pc_to_tv.shtml

Let me know if you have any questions!

I successfully connected the TV to my pc, however, the resolution of the TV is really blurry, you can hardly read the words. while the monitor remains very clear. Can anyone kindly help me out? how can I adjust it to be the same as the monitor? Thanks!

 

newbs,cough up some money and buy a hdtv crt,lcd,doesnt matter just make sure the native resolution is 720p no less,if the hdtv is u will either have a vga or dvi output on your tv or both ,get a dvi video card,connect it via dvi is the best method over vga,or just use vga.not a newb by the way how do i change my statue....
