Using your Tv to watch computer vid's

[Mycophiles]

Is there a special program you need to do this?

I have a ti4200 128 meg video card. I don't see any special software to use this feature on thier website but I was just double checking with everyone here.

Any suggestions?

edit: I'm not able to delete the thread and I think it's in the wrong forum.
Sorry

You need the means to connect your videocard output to the TV (S-Video, component, composite, RGB, VGA, DVI-I, or DVI-D (non-HDCP/DHMA)).

You then need to output a resolution your TV supports. If it's a normal, non-ED, non-HD TV, that'd be 640x480, interlaced (i.e., 480i).

If it's an ED or HD set, you may be able to use 480p, 720p, 1080i, or possibly even 1080p.


Download and use PowerStrip for an easy means to configure these resolutions at frequencies a television can cope with.
