Chances are if the picture shows the outputs on your graphics card, then you will need an adapter to connect to your tv - as your tv will more likely be the VGA type connector (15 pins and often blue in colour). Unsure if your using adpaters already on your pc to pc LCD's screen or not. If not then you you will need to get a normal VGA cable to plug into the tv and an adapter to connect to the pc graphics card.
Reading the spec on the card it seem like the adapter is included in the box !

Can u just use a standard VGA cable?

richs2891

Great Ok so take the cable that normall use to plug into the Pc screen (assuming its an LCD one) out of the back of the PC screen and see if that connector appears on the back of your TV anywhere.
If it fits oK should be all ok, Might have to adjust the TV input via the TV remote to pc input.

Depends on the TV. IMO

Done it to both of my TVs; a Panny V20 plasma via HDMi and a very old Hitachi Plasma via S-VGA.

Usually, not the best for browsing or doing speadsheets/documents as with 1080 lines there is little or no resolution advantage over a basic monitor...the bigger screen just makes everything looks bigger instead. The Hitachi is worst at this as its an odd resolution screen (852 x 1024 pixels...scaled to 1280x1024), so text on websites looks blurred (especially certain VBulletin powered forums - like Scoobynet, as the text size doesn't change if I adjust the scale settings in my browser ).

For playing/streaming films (HD or not) though, ideal. Our Panny TV can stream video/films in HD without the need for a PC, but the motion interpolation is disabled so the motion judder is annoying as hell. However, the same content played via PC over a HDMi connection has silky smooth picture motion as the TV's motion interpolation is functional (also helps with the dodgy frame rates found with streamed video).

By the way S-VGA doesn't carry audio, so you have to conjure up some way to get audio into teh TV (usually via headphone/line out jack on the PC - some TVs will have a 'line in' for use in PC mode either via a jack/phono plug or via a input on one of the scart connectors).

I've always used TVs as I use them as TVs also. Never had a problem.
