Sorry I'm a real novice. Can I use my TV as a computer screen? I was to subscribe to MLB.com and watch baseball games. What do I need? How do I do it? Can I do it with a laptop? I have a Samsung 6167 61" TV.

if you have a conventional, non HD CRT television, don't bother.. it looks HORRIBLE.
If you have a plasma, LCD, or DLP HDTV with HDMI or DVI input, you can connect a video card with DVI output right to the TV, and configure the video drivers for the television's resolution.

Welcome to eCoustics cdavidson!

You don't take the easy way to hook your PC!

The easy way is buy a new Graphic card with a HDMI output!

Is your Graphic card is built-in on the mother board?

The problem with your setup is that the graphic chips will not recognize your TV like a monitor then you will not get a picture!
