    How do I go about hooking my computer up to my television?

    And would I be able to watch videos from my computer on my television and whatnot?

    If I need any specific equipment (which I'm sure I do), just link me to somewhere I can buy it if you can.

    Thanks.

    you need a video card that supports multiple screens, a tv with either HDMI, DVI, or VGA, and a cable to connect the two together.

      What video card do you have in your PC?

        I have this but i bought it in may 08, so i'm sure there are much better ones out now. i don't know if they make any with HDMI out, but as long as you have at least 2 DVI outputs, you can buy a DVI to HDMI/VGA/Component if you need. the only bad thing was running the audio to the tv, i basically just plugged a 3.5mm to red/white composite audio plug. it was pretty cheap, but it got the job done.

            What inputs do your PC and TV have? Probably need VGA cables for video. Then will need a set of RCA cables for audio along with this converter: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2
