my pc screen is a nice quality widescreen and my tv sucks now my pc doesnt support being used as a tv but is there any kind of cable/adaptor that i could use or is it impossible. all help apreciated cheersi was thinking maybe like a scart to pc adaptor or something like that just wondering about this for a while cos i cant afford to buy a tv worth buying right now

could u please explain in more detail idont quite understand what u wanna do. U want to use yr PC monitor as a television? If thats right, how are u planing on to watch TV channels? do u want to plug in some sort of Sky/Satalite TV box?

yea i have a freeview box that i want to find out if i can connect it to the pc monitor, i want to know if there is a cable that exists for that, help and time apreciated

yes such cables exist, but unless you have a monitor and a freeview box with an HDMI output on it, your freeview box will have to have a separate output for sound because although Scart carrys audio and video, VGA cables do not, so yr set-up will look sumfin like that



an example of my AMAZING art skills an my PERFECT handwriting

although converter cables are not suitable for monitors designed solely for computer use. (The screen must support a horizontal scan rate of 15.625KHz- most projectors, plasma and LCD panels do whereas CRT monitors dont)

hope that helps dude

cheers but do u know were i can get the cable

However, you should choose to buy a TV tuner, depending on which type you go for functions and quality vary and there are cheap digital ones on the market. Moreover, windows media center edition and windows vista are bundled with windows media center- meaning you can watch, pause and record live tv...without the need for any other hardware or software. Moreover, there are a number of open source applications which play tv from your tv tuner. The majority of tv tuners just need an aerial but i advise you get an internal pci card and a good Ariel.

i have vista basic so its worth upgrading by ther sounds of it , nice 1 thanks all 4 help

yea "media portal" is a really good media centre program, its a complete rip off of Windows Media Centre except its completely free an tbh in my opinion is actually better than Windows MCE because there loads of free plug-ins and skins you can easyly get for it.
