Solve : PC to TV will it work??

1.	Solve : PC to TV will it work??
Answer» I want to buy a new computer and use my 40"LCD HDTV as the monitor; Will this work and do I need a specific type of computer or hook-ups? Sorry, I am very ignorant about computer stuff. Any suggestions or thoughts on this idea would be appreciated. Yes it will work, but may I also suggest you buy a HDMI cable, as this will give a picture that is much clearer then RGB. Does your graphics card have HDMI support? Hi - thank you for your reply. I am sorry, but I don't know what a graphics card is - hence the username "comp4dummy". I am not too hip on computers. We have a laptop from 2002 and thats it at the moment. We want to get a new one soon, and I went to someones HOUSE that had a computer set-up with the TV. I thought it would be so convenient to sit back on the couch and surf the internet, view netflix, etc. If you look in the back of your TV, what connection ports does it have? (if you can identify them)The TV has the FOLLOWING hook-ups: 2 component 2 HDMI 1 DMXe 1 RGB 1 S-video and 2 std video in It is a Sony Bravia Flat Panel LCD HDTV I was just looking at the manual, GUESS I should have done that first, and it recommends either and HDMI to HDMI or DVI (from the computer) with audio to the HDMI - It mentions a HD15 - what is this? I guess I want to know from a practical standpoint if I will be able to purhase a less expensive computer ($400-700) and still get a close enough quality as the HDMI? Also, for using my wireless router, I was told that not all of the desktops have a space for network card ? ThanksQuote from: comp4dummy on AUGUST 09, 2008, 11:35:21 AM Also, for using my wireless router, I was told that not all of the desktops have a space for network card ? Thanks I won't comment on the video issue, the other respondents know more about it - as far as the wireless goes, look for a USB adapter, you don't need an expansion card. It's a good idea (but not necessary) to purchase the adapter from the same manufacturer as the wireless router. Btw, a "network card" is not what you need for the wireless connection, anyway; and, almost all systems have the network function built into the motherboard. As for the video issue, depending on what the computer has, I think a HDMI to VGA cable should do the job.
