How can I use my TV as my computer monitor?

How can I watch all the programs from my dell computer in my television? Can I use my TV as a Monitor?

  • I would like to watch movies and other programs on my tv from my computer. How can I turn my television into my computer monitor? What programs do I need to buy and install to do this?

  • Answer:

    You don't need any fancy programs but your graphics card needs to support it. Generally both your TV and graphics card need to have an S-video port (and then you'll need an S-video cable) (see sources for pictures/information on S-video). Then you'll need to plug in your computer using the s-video and look around at your graphics card's configuration utility (nVidia's is the NVIDIA Control Panel, under Control Panel), and look around for the multiple-display setup function. But movies that you're watching on your computer probably aren't in a high enough resolution to look great on a really big TV. There are other methods of connecting other than S-video, but I'm not familiar with them. Happy hunting.

The above answer is correct but you can also use an RGB cable if you have a flat panel that has one and you laptop should have that output. Easiest way to do it.
