Tv Out

[Thierry Henry]

Newbe Question, sorry if I sound dumb

I have got a TV out socket on my graphics card, does this mean I can connect my PC to my TV. If so what cable do I need and what quality will the picture and sound come out on the TV.

whats the brand of your vid card ? and what is the tv out socket ? SVIDEO ? or AV PLUGS.

svideo plugs kinda look like the ps2 ports, and tend to have better picture quality. the av plug is ok, but is very blury.

Its a 64mb Nvidia G force 4 MX 420 from Dell

I think its a S video out

So I think that answers my question then I need a S video cable, but do I need anythink else and what will the quality be

svideo quality is a tiny bit better, for movies and games its great, just dont try reading any writing :s ..

its good for movies if u wanna record to VHS. i dont think u need anything else exept a tv that supports svide, but u can buy converters for em.
