How do I connect my PC to my Plasma TV?
Hi,
I have looked everywhere and found nothing.. so I am asking here.
I have a Sony Vaio VGC-LS20E and I am trying to connect it to my new Plasma TV. The plasma has a VGA input spot as well as spot for svideo and HDMI inputs.
HOWEVER.. my Computer has NO 15 prong VGA slot, has NO dvi slot, and the S-Video just didnt work...
My Plasma has a "PC In" area where you plug a VGA from the tv to the PC but like i said, my PC does not have a vga slot.
How do i do this, I'm going NUTS!!! Is there any type of special cord I can use for the VGA from my TV to a USB on my computer or something?
PLZ Help! Thank you...
My Computer is an ALL-IN-ONE so the monitor IS the computer.
My Computer is not even a year old. It has a slot for the red/yellow/white cables and an s-video on the back of it but when i connect them to the plasma it does nothing.
This seems hopeless..

You most likely have an HDMI input on your television. If your computer does not have a DVI port this wont matter though because the only HDMI i found were DVI on the computer end. I went to radio shack and bought a PC to TV device that have S video and all sorts of other connections on it. This worked for me. If your comp has a DVI port though i am pretty sure your TV has an HDMI port on it somewhere read your manual and itll tell ya where.
Just read the rest of your question... Hmmm your computer is older? I have a sony vaio as well but i bought it on 2002. Mine also has no DVI port. The only advice i could give would be the PC to TV device that i found at radio shack.

i will see how that could desire to be a bad thought understanding that plasma TVs are nonetheless even at this present day and agea little extra companies to burn in than the different form of technologies, yet as long as you place your workstation to tutor off the image after 2 to 4 minutes of state of no interest you're able to desire to be superb. On domicile windows Vista this determination is under genuine click on own workstation, customize, and exhibit screen saver.

I believe that one of the numbers on the TOP row of Keys, combined with the FN (function) button turns off your computer display and TRANSFERS it to the S-Video output....
Look closely for what looks like a monitor picture on the keys, OR read the instructions about Video in your manual....
