how do you use tv for extra monitor?

u necessitate a video out on ur graphics card ... then u hook it up to the tv ... set the tv to aux input ... afterwards switch between displays in ur graphics card properties ...
On the pay for of of your computer in the video card (where you plug your usual monitor in), near should be another circular port that's usually black. It'll look like the port you plug your upright into. It's called an s-video port. There is also another s-video port on the stern of the tv. You need to connect the two ports beside an s-video cable, which you can pick up at stores like radioshack for just about $5.

After connecting you need to switch the display contained by your video card properties, or control center. Switch the TV's input mode until you see the desktop on the tv.
I connect my laptop to my large eyeshade Mitsubishi TV through a S-Video cable.



Most Tvs come equipped with this connector. If your desktop/laptop does not enjoy one, you could get an adapter card.
You inevitability a video out on graphics card, and a special cable for both the tv and computer, so you need tv and computer that will work together.

Well the one comman solution is getting a pictographic card with tv output .[end]

the another odds is you buy single vga cord with x2 vga at one end( http://www.mamoz.no/mamozv3/bilder/behan... ) you can plug one within your computer monitor with the second vga port you would requirement a vga to RCA adapter ( http://www.computercasesandcables.com/cc... ) thats is the image .

next to this option you can in reality have 2 monitors displaying same containt at a time and this will cost you going on for $4 or $10 maximum . while with plentiful graphic cards here is only one display alive ( your monitor or tv ).

i hope this help ;)
