I plug in the dvi adapter into the video card and hook the cable up to the tv , then i turn the pc on with my 15" monitor and go into the display settings and add the tv to the video card as say secondary tv am i getting close

Pretty much bro, Once you get back there and look at things, it'll just make since.

You'll probably want to use the DVI to HDMI adapter which I posted a link to it through amazon. Just plug it in, it's that simple then go to the display settings and extend desktop to the tv, and you've done it.

I have noticed with some file types you have to set up the TV as the primary monitor, or in your video box it will remain black.

Just get behind there and fuck with things dude. That's all you have to do, you'll figure it out.

No you won't. Text still looks like shit, Not nearly good enough. So you'll still be using your monitor for regular computer stuff.

the one that has lcd stamped next to it?

the one lowest in the picture

the first one goes to my monitor, middle is s video out and bottom is?

# VGA output: D-Sub
# TV-out connector: S-video out
# DVI connector

Ok today i bloody done it and am currnetly using my lcd tv typing this and had a few little issues but nothing magor i just dumped the little 15" off the settings as i couldnt be assed cloning due to the mouse moving from 1 screen to another,
The only issue left is i have no sound even though i got a jack for it and is plugged in, only thing i can think of is the tv setting which i'm gonna do now

Yoshy the adapter is a must as well as a good hdmi lead (mine was £60.00)

My card dosent have a jack port for the audio so tryin to use it through my motherboard or the sound blaster card i have in my dell

Yoshy that is a dvi plug mate (click on paras link on this page to amazon to see the adapter) you need the adapter for it along with the hdmi lead to plug in and then just an audio lead, you may have to switch it on your tv from digital to analogue though.

Mines running nice pic and sound, i got media player playing in the background and typing this on the 46" lcd so it does work

Make is profigold prov1002 2.0m

Pic and text is amazing mate and sound is good too, thanks for your input though mother.

I think so yes mate, it's down to how it is made and the quality control
I just posted a link where you can get 1 for £29.99 that retails for £69.99 and comes with lifetime warrenty.
Maybe thats why Neversoft had problems using his and why some say the text is crap on the tv, i pulled my 15" out and is now in my sons room for when i slap him together a surfing pc.
Hell of a differance beween a 15" and 46" porn is amazing whilst streamed and irc is good too, didnt hit the sack til 7am today as was playin online and that, think of this pc games on massive screen and it's connected to the net so on line play is easy

HDMI cables? No, The only thing you wanna make sure of is shielding. That's a big one.

As far as picture quality goes, not one bit of a difference, Digital in means digital out. No loss of quality.


I have two different types of cables, One great DVI cable, and one HDMI cable, text looks the same. It looks significantly better when in 720p compared to 1080i, I think the interlaced makes a difference.

Ripper are you running everything in 1080p/i?
