How to hook Computer to TV?

How to hook up your computer to your tv?

  • Hi, I'm trying to connect my desktop to my 40" LCD Emerson HDTV. My computer only has a VGA slot so i bought a male VGA to female DVI adapter(small connecter/adapter with no cord) and I have that hooked up to a male DVI to HDMI cord. I hooked it all together and I plugged it into all 3 HDMI ports on my flatscreen and neither worked, no picture showed up.. no flicker or any indication that its connected at all.. I've tried to browse youtube and google for answers, but i've only found videos on how to hook up a laptop with a HDMI or DVI slot or a desktop that has a HDMI or DVI slot or a TV with a VGA or DVI slot... my computer - only VGA, my TV - only HDMI.. any ideas? Oh also.. i originally ordered a VGA to HDMI... but got sent the wrong cord -.- ... ended up with DVI to HDMI.. in case anyone was wondering why id go through the trouble of doing it this way.. I didn't intend to..
