| 1317945 | 2012-12-12 22:39:00 | I've read the TV onscreen stuff etc but I can't work out what to do. TV is Samsung UA40D5000 with LAN, PC in, USB1 and 2, PC/DVI audio in, DVI and HDMI's. PC is HP Desktop A1140A, Windows XP SP3. What connection/s do I need to buy. I'd be watching mostly live streaming eg The ASP Billabong Pipe Masters which is on now or wildlife sites. I wouldn't be watching movies or tv shows. Thanks for any help. | bellbird (6169) | ||
| 1317946 | 2012-12-12 22:47:00 | You are just using your TV as a monitor with built-in speakers. So use a HDMI from your graphics card to the TV and whatever audio cables you have from colour to colour, ie green to green. |

| 1317947 | 2012-12-12 22:47:00 | How or where is this live streaming coming from tho? If the desktop it would have to have an HDMI connection on it. Or you can get a VGA / DVI cable. Since it looks like the TV has a -Dsub connection on it. But the videocard would have to have DVI on it obviously. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1317948 | 2012-12-12 23:13:00 | TV is Samsung UA40D5000 with LAN, PC in, USB1 and 2, PC/DVI audio in, DVI and HDMI's. PC is HP Desktop A1140A, Windows XP SP3. What connection/s do I need to buy. HP Pavilion A1140A originally shipped with GeForce 6200 graphics card which has VGA, DVI and SVideo outputs. Of these 3 connections, DVI is the best and as your TV also supports DVI, you need a DVI to DVI cable. This will get you the picture from your PC to TV. Now to get the sound you need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm Stereo Audio cable. This will connect from the PC Speaker out jack (usually green in colour) to the TV's PC/DVI audio in connector. This will get you audio from the PC to TV. DVI Cable example (www.trademe.co.nz) Audio cable example (www.trademe.co.nz) |

| 1317949 | 2012-12-12 23:19:00 | Thanks DeSade and Speedy. How do I find whether the PC has an HDMI connection? If I does how do I connect to the graphics card? If it needs to be connected via VGA/DVI cable how do I check if the graphics card has DVI on it. I have an Nvidia GEForce 6200 Turbo Cache 256MB we posted at the same time tmrafi. Thanks for your help. |

| 1317950 | 2012-12-12 23:31:00 | I see you are in Christchurch, I have plenty of DVI cables I am not using if you want one. I have moved to HDMI Cables. |

| 1317951 | 2012-12-12 23:58:00 | Thanks for the offer DeSade, I'll pm. I checked the DVI and Audio cable examples in tmrafi's post. Where would the DVI cable connect on my PC, I can't see a spare pin? type connection. I guess that one of the two connections in use is the graphics card, if I replace it with a dvi cable from tv to pc then I'd have no connection to the monitor. "scuse my confusion. | bellbird (6169) | ||
| 1317952 | 2012-12-13 00:00:00 | Unless your graphics card has two DVI ports then you would need to "replace" your monitor with the TV. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1317953 | 2012-12-13 06:53:00 | If your graphics card only has one DVI port why not put the monitor back onto the VGA as they used to be. I run dual monitors one is on VGA the other on DVI | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1317954 | 2012-12-13 20:05:00 | Media server = few terabytes worth of HDD connected direct to router . Xbox - can access the whole flipping lot and can watch it straight on TV . For the odd thing that Xbox has a tanty about playing - direct HDMI cable from laptop to TV sorts it . Can even stream off my media server on iphone . . . when I'm in another country . How else do you do it ! ! :punk |
