I have a new digital tv. I'd like to play dvd's on it from my computer. What do I need to do?
Simple advice please -- I'm a bit slow on this stuff. |

I'm pretty sure that all you need is an S-video connector...as long as your computer has TV-out capabilities. Just take a pic of the slots on the back of both your com and TV and bring them to an electronics shop; they should be able to hook you up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I connect a digital TV to my desktop or notebook computer?
A: Yes, as long as the digital television is equipped with an RGB input (15-pin D-sub connector). A digital television is essentially a high quality computer monitor capable of displaying various resolutions from today's advanced video cards. All Gateway TVs are equipped with an RGB-output that allows you connect one, or even multiple monitors in series, for multimedia presentation purposes.
Note: When connecting a TV to your computer, you may need to adjust the video resolution to match the capabilities of the TV, such as 800 �� 600, 1024 �� 768, or 1280 �� 1024. Check the specifications of the TV to determine its capabilities. |
Check the cables that came with the TV; you might already have what you need. Again, it'll depend on you computer's video card... |

At my last hakwon they had a digital TV and all I needed to hook up to my computer was a monitor (VGA) extension cable. Played DVDs and VCDs just fine. (PC to TV) |
