Okay computer geniouses

[Taylor Millard]

To make a long story short, I'll be brief.

I thought my vid card is dead. Went to Best Buy, got new one.

Turns out...it's my monitor ("stole" roomies so I could see what the problem was).

Now supposedly, I can connect my TV to my computer to use as the monitor device (which would save me cash and stress)

How can I do that? Has anyone done this before?

Am I nuts?

Help...please!

Thanks :)

Well, if your video card has S-Video out, you can get an s-video cable and hook it up that way. I wouldn't really reccomend using your TV for anything but watching movies, though.

Well I'm pressed for cash which is why I'm asking. I mean like really pressed for cash.

As for your problem, you should have some interface cables included with your new card.

[Taylor Millard]

I know I misspelled it. For some odd reason I've always spelled genius, genious.

I have no clue why.

Hmm...interface cables?

[Marcus Telcontar]

Male to male RCA cable normally Quite easy to get if you dont have one and cheap.

[Morgan Evanar]

Newer cards are s-video, but there are S-Video to RCA adapters.

And your eyes will kill you. Text is AWFUL on interlaced displays.

Edit: yes, you're nuts. Seriously, its terrible for your eyes.

Broke down and got a monitor. I hate being poor.
