How to Connect Your PC to Your LCD TV

To connect your PC to LCD TV you first of all need to ensure that your PC or laptop has an S-video port. An S-Video cable is cheap as heck and just about every TV under the sun has an S-Video port. You must keep in mind that there are two types of S-Video cables; 4pin and 7 pin. Most laptops and PC’s are equipped with a 7-pin port, so if your TV only has a 4-pin S-Video port, then this method will not work.

If you have a LCD HDTV, then it can be connected to PC using a VGA cable. It gives much better quality than S-Video. You usually won’t find a VGA port on regular TV’s though, so this option is if you have an HDTV. The digital signal will give a higher quality picture than either S-Video or VGA. Of course, your computer will need to have a DVI connection and your TV will need to be an HDTV.

What you need to do is connect the monitor, make sure the video card in your computer has a DVI connector. DVI connectors are typically found on most HDTVs. While you can get a converter for the VGA connector on an existing video card, you won’t get the same image quality if you spend little money on a video card with DVI support. Screen resolution is limited to the maximum resolution of the HDTV, which is typically 1920×1080. If the only thing you want to do is use an HDTV as a computer monitor, this is the only step required.
