| 1362224 | 2013-12-10 22:28:00 | A friend wants to connect a pc to tv via HDMI. Will need to get a graphics card with HDMI out. Any advantage getting a high spec card or just a cheapy. |

| 1362225 | 2013-12-10 23:02:00 | What do they want to use it for. If they are just using it to play movies/browse the web a cheap one will be fine but anything more intensive will require a bit more cash... |

| 1362226 | 2013-12-10 23:44:00 | If he has DVI out you can get a cheap adapter that'll work, just with no Audio. TV's often have an Audio in that you can use for that anyway. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1362227 | 2013-12-11 01:09:00 | The card in this was only $79, it has 3 all connections on it. I dont play games on it tho. So, it's good enough for now. Main thing it works | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1362228 | 2013-12-11 01:46:00 | Thanks for the info. It would only be for watching movies stored on the pc or you tube videos online. Probably also tv on demand. So I guess a lower spec one will do. I'm thinking he will finish up getting a new tv with wifi & moving the current one to bed 1. |

| 1362229 | 2013-12-11 02:41:00 | Yeah pretty much anything brand new will suffice, even the el-cheapo $45 ones you can sometimes get from the likes of PBTech. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 1362231 | 2013-12-11 04:53:00 | Exactly the same thing I have here | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1362232 | 2013-12-11 06:52:00 | I run a cheap ATI 5450 fanless here just so I can have 2 monitors and use a Raspberry Pi hooked to the TV via HDMI | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1362233 | 2013-12-11 22:42:00 | Yeah something like that would be perfect :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
