As far as I know, the way that TV displays images is totallly different from computer monitor. If it works then people have done it long time ago. Why go and purchase bigger monitor then??
I am trying to hook up a computer to a television so that we can view powerpoint on a much bigger screen. I recently purchased a Video Card to S-Video and TV Adapter Cable (High Density DB15 VGA to Mini Din 4 pin S-Vid). When I hook up the connector correctly (both the S-Video and RCA), the picture is distorted and in black and white. Generally I get 3 different images of the Windows desktop, all of which are highly scrambled and lacking color. When I received the cable in the mail, the package was open, so I am wondering if the item is damaged or could I be doing something wrong? I included some of the specs for the PC below. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Andrew
