| 310803 | 2005-01-05 04:22:00 | So i know you can hook your computer to your TV and view it though your comp through your TV screen. I also know you can hook the TV into the computer. I know what the cord is called to hook TV to comp, but what is the cord called that hooks your comp into your tv? My monitor is crap so im hoping my new flat screen TV will do better than the monitor i have now untill i get a new one. I Figure your video card must support this...I have a slot that looks as if it would fit a cord like that, my vid card is a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! |

Which plugs into a s-video connection on your TV. You may also need the proper video card drivers, so it works properly. |
