Like turning the television as your computer monitor
For some time I have watching my TV 32 "and think, why not plug the PC into the TV and play my favorite games on a huge screen? Do you feel the same? Well, I decided to do it, but There are some limitations that ultimately disappoint you. I'll explain later in this article.
1 .- Identify your entries Most TV TV take 3 basic connections. They have the coaxial cable (typical antenna cable), RCA Composite video, connectors that are red, yellow and white and S-Video. Currently, almost all also include VGA, HDMI, Component and DVI.
2 .- Identify the outputs on your PC. Currently, manufacturers are increasingly adding outbound connections on the TV, making it easier to connect to other computers. The S-Video in particular seems to be gaining ground in more and more PCs mainly find the usual VGA out, which is where you connect your regular monitor. Currently many TVs have VGA inputs makes it easy to use as a monitor of oden, but we will focus on the connection on television not so new, that are most abundant in homes.
3 .- I'll find the right adapter for your connections. You may need to buy an adapter or adapter box to connect your PC to TV. They consist of an adapter that on one hand has a VGA input, which connect the PC, and a series of outputs, S-Video, RCA or Component). It is recommended to buy one of these adapters, but it's the wireless feature, since it is much more comfortable when you install cables without restrictions and thus can connect without having the PC near the TV.
4 .- Connect your PC to the TV. If you have a connection on your TV that is compatible with any of the outputs on your PC, connect them directly. If you do not have it, you must connect through the junction box that we discussed earlier the VGA on your pc and then connect the RCA cables, S-Video or Component to the TV.
Turn on the television and the PC and select the TV channel you've selected the connection to see the image. Now is the time when you may feel somewhat disappointed. The video signal the TV is called PAL (NTSC if you live outside Europe).
This signal is different from that generated by computers. Computers use resolutions that are measured in Pixels: 320x200, 320x240, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 or 1600x1200. Most TVs can only display 500 lines of resolution, the equivalent of 500 vertical pixels on a PC.
Unable to put more resolution on these TVs, so we can enjoy the most that is a resolution of 640x480px.
Nor is such a problem, you can play and watch videos in low resolution without problems, but for now you can not have video quality that makes the usual PC monitor. This problem is fixed in most of today's plasma TVs or LCD, as native connections include VGA or HDMI, which provides high resolution without having to acquire any other adapter.
