Hey guys, any of u using tv as screen instead of monitor? Need to know where to buy the VGA to TV converter and how much? Got many type?

vga to tv or svideo to tv ?

I heard that there's a kind of converter connect the CBU (VGA) to TV (RCA). Means can use TV as screen. So far only LCD TV can be use as screen because it got VGA head but normal TV cannot. So, gotto find converter.

of course go to electric and electronic shop! Big shop i mean! like LG SengHeng etc.....

See my post, i got wat u looking for

S-Video to TV RCA ( 4pin, 7pin or 9pin )


DVI to VGA converter ( for changing DVI port in GC to VGA )

Newer video cards have the video line in connection. I used that since my GeForce 4 times. And it will bundle the neccesary hardware (wires, connectors) with the video card

from what I understood, he is trying to output video from VGA port to TV. we can only assumed he don't have S-VIDEO out from his videocard. why are you guys talking about S-VIDEO, DVI and video line-in on video card?

it is obvious he wanted to output video to his TV from VGA port to his normal TV and unless his TV has a VGA port to, it is impossible without an expensive convertor. I have been trying to do that too ever since I bought this farking stylish Toshiba notebook which, despite being so farking stylish, doesn't have a farking S-VIDEO out. I have found this

PC toTV convertor http://www.kworld.com.tw/en/index_others.htm

It is available at the IT Supermart store on the third floor of LOW YAT PLAZA and is selling at RM268. It is farking expensive and I am still thinking about it.

Cheaper to get a new graphic card then

Thank you, Sanook! You understand what I mean. RM268 is not that farking expensive. I think it's still reasonable. Somemore want to buy a wireless keyboard then only can farking enjoy in my own room. ........

just a buy a 2nd hand gc with tv out (s-video or RCA) i.e. geforce4 MX or radeon 9000 for about RM50...

you want to use tv as a pc display unit?thats not a good idea,as the tv pixel is biger

i thought conventional tv requires less pixel? i had to tune down from 800x600 pixel to 640x480 resolution on a 29 inch tv because the words are too small to be read.
