I have one of my computers hooked up to a 42" Plasma TV using an HDMI cable and I play movies mainly on it, but I can surf the web if I need to.

Some people told me bought a VGA to RCA / S-Video Adapter Cable...

How about this?

I can tell you... it depends on,

firstly your TV, is it a HDTV? or a standard TV?

also

your graphics card what make and model is it?

For HD look at the back you will probably need a HDMI cable going to either DVI, VGA or HDMI. Ideally you want a straight HDMI connection for the best quality but that depends on your card.

For SD you want an RGB to VGA cable or RGB to S-Video (like the thing above) again this depends on your tv and graphics card some cards have s-video built in so you could use a straight s-video.

Let me know when you figure out what ports you have if your struggling to choose a cable.

Well, first you need matching inputs on your TV set.

Then you need the geek down the block to hook it up for you.

I think your graphics card needs to have Tv-out if u want to connect it to an old CRT tv, or you have to buy some extra converter. Thats why i bought an HD4890 instead of an HD5xxx card because i still have an 32" CRT
