Pc -> Tv

[vivitron 15]

ive decided that id like to get my pc running through my TV, and i reckon that the best trick would be to use something usb, cos id like to be able to run it from my laptop. (celeron 900) now looking around the only thing ive found is this. i was wondering if anyone has anything like this, and what you think of it? is the quality good? is there anything else (bar resolution) to look for? is this a decent res - same as id run a pc at, so i assume its ok?

btw: the tv is a 24" widescreen - not that i guess thats important

TIA

does ur vid card have a video-out?

[vivitron 15]

no, it doesnt have it, and i did think about getting a new one which does, but if its usb then i can also use it on the laptop when i need to - internal not really an issue

Resolutions on "regular TVs" are most of the times lower than the resolutions on your computer. That's why whenever you watch a DVD-rip on your computer, it looks smaller (regular-sized, not full screen).

this one claims to have a res of 1024*768...does this mean that its a "better" 1024*768 than that of a pc?

Shouldn't. Either way, you should be fine watching stuff from pc to tv

Thje resolution of a PC is MUCH MUCH higher, not just that but the dot pitch is much smaller... so things look better...

Umm, yes tvs are around the 1000x*** range

you need an all in wonder card... like from ATI
