tech gurus,i need your advice:

im planning to make our TV into a monitor..its a projector type 42" tv (samsung) and it doesnt have RGB input but only A/V..it is already HD TV ready(its printed on the frame)..havent checked if there is HDMI input at the back..

my pc's specs are: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400,Asus P5KPL-AM,2GB Kingston 667MHz,GMA X3100 integrated graphics and its running Windows Vista Home Basic..

now i'd like to ask if i need to buy other hardware for this?aside of course for the RGB to A/V Converter - is there such a thing?

if this is possible,im planning to buy a wireless keyboard and mouse..hope you guys can help me..thanks!

Pwedi rapud ka palit ug Video Card with TV-out. Kani mao mani gamit nako sa akong video card nga TV out. Naa raman Standard RCA.

Naa pud diha with adapter for RCA.


Naa pud Video Card with HDTV Out.

pwed ra kau.

[grooxe_forever]

Kung imong VCard naay S-Video nga out pareha anang imong gipakita nga cord pwede ra, Pwede raman gani katong ordinary nga TV kay naa manay S-Video.

[SmaRkieS]

Yup naa raman S-Video to S-Video, or S-Video to RCA Video.

thanks for the replies..

i dont know the particular model of the tv,but its a "projector-type" tv,not LCD,plasma,LED or crt..this type of tv was short-lived,because after this was released,the LCD tvs started coming out..i just found out it has S-Video Input..my mobo doesnt have S-Video Output,just 2 RGB Outputs..i dont wanna buy a dedicated graphics card as im not really a hardcore gamer and the GMA X3100 is quite enough for my present needs..what else do i need?is there an RGB to S-Video Converter Cable?

im also wondering about the tv tuner..what is it used for?can i use that even if i have a cable box?currently i have a subsrciption from skycable and they provided us with a cable box..

i think wa pa ko kita ug vga to other pero ako na bantayan is dvi to hdmi or dvi to s-video etc. try sa cdrking basin makita nimo imo gipangita although if importante nimo ang graphics niya sa display di ko mo recommend sa s-video kay sa ako experience di siya nindut ug output or basin sa ako lang to na problem.
anyone pls correct if di mao inyo na experience.
