Connect PC to flat screen TV?

Of course you can use your flat-screen TV as a PC monitor.

I do. Check it out: http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/armchairavi...

My computer's graphics card has a DVI port. It's connected to my HDTV's HDMI port using a DVI-to-HDMI cable. It displays 1920x1080 resolution (aka 1080p High Definition), and as you can see in the photo it works perfectly.

DVI / HDMI is the best way because it's a digital video signal. Everything else is analog.

You just need a cable.

In my case it was a SVGA cable.

It just plugs in the TV to the laptop , I press function then F3 which has a little pic of two screens on it.

It cost about £2.99 from eBay.

If I want the sound from the TV too I use a cable which is like a male/male personal stereo cable from my headphone socket in tge laptop.

It's possible. Does your video card have a S-Video or HDMI port? Or maybe your TV has a VGA port? Get the right cable and you're good to go.

Most LCD TV's have a VGA or DVI socket (standard PC connections).

most modern tv's have a HDMI (white on graphics card) or VGA (blue on graphics card + monitor) connectior

you can either get a converter from HDMI to VGA or a double ended female VGA cable for tv
