You can also buy adapters to change your computer's video out to whatever the best connection on your tv is. |

Anyway, are you asking me to get an average price if you want to hook it up? If so, PLEASE tell me what connections are on your current video card and tv, then I'll come up with a good solution as quickly as I can. |

Post Number: 358 Registered: Dec-06 | Well looking at the computer I'm not sure if it has an S-video out or not! I'm assuming it does (tell me if I'm wrong) so I recommend you just get a good S-video cable and plug 'er in. All you have to do is go to properties from the desktop then set your primary monitor output to S-video. You can do a google search to figure that out. If you don't have an S-video output you can get the card from Dell I suspect for not too horrible a price. Anyway, I once decided to hook my media center computer to my home theater. It was surprisingly easy! I just hooked the Coax digital output to my home theater receiver and the video out to my receiver also. I hooked one of my receiver's S-video outs to the input of my computer for recording. I also hooked one of the receiver's digital outs to the computer's digital input. Good luck~! |
