How to Connect Your PC to Your TV

Here are some simple instructions that will allow you to connect your PC directly to your TV. Once this connection is made you can view whatever you currently view on your PC monitor directly on your TV, pictures, video, etc. can all be viewed.

Most new TVs are designed to easily accommodate this task, and there are ways to connect older ones as well. Follow these simple steps to make this connection.

1. Determine the type of inputs your TV has. Many newer sets have the HDMI, Composite, S-video and VGA inputs. Slightly older sets might have DVI as well as S-video and VGA inputs. If have a very old TV, it may only have an analog signal. These inputs are clearly labeled on almost all TV's.

2. Determine what kind of video output you have on your computer by looking at your video card. DVI is pretty standard on most computers manufactured in the last four years. Newer, multimedia PCs will have HDMI.

3. Purchase cables to run from the computer to the TV. If you have more than 1 connection option, choose the highest quality connection option. Connection options listed in priority order from highest quality to lowest are:

a. HDMI - For digital video and digital audio connections. Connect both video and audio with 1 cable!

b. DVI - For digital video connections. You will also need a RCA cable for the audio connection.

c. Composite video - For very high quality analog video connections. You will also need a RCA cable for the audio connection.

d. S-video - For high quality analog video connections. You will also need a RCA cable for the audio connection.

e. Component video - For medium quality analog video connections. You will also need a RCA cable for the audio connection.

4. Connect the cable(s) from your computer to your TV. The cables will connect on your PC to the video/audio card ports. It should be fairly obvious what goes where due to the shape and coloring of the ports. After the connections are made you will need to switch your TV into the proper mode to receive the signals. Consult your TV's owner's manual for these instructions which vary by each TV manufacturer.

and the RCA connectors, there is an adapter that lets you connect two sets of RCA cables together, but that will let you plug in the RCA cables from the PS3 to the stereo jack of your speakers. Most of the new speakers also have a Digital component in port, if it is one of the newer 5.1 or more surround speaker systems.
