TV as Computer Monitor - Comments Page 13

I´ve successfully connected my laptop to the TV and have got sound and visual. But the colours seem to have to low resolution.There are no "middletones" of colours. I cant find anywhere to change this (besides the controlpanel of the desktop and ATIs controlpanel). Any idea? Or have I missed something?

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Windows Control Panel is the right place to change the video settings. Try adjusting the Color Quality settings.

hiya there, I am just wondering if this is the right item to do this with. I have a toshiba laptop & are going to cable it up to a 40 inch sony HD television.

How good will the computer output look on a 50" HDTV? What resolutions can it handle? Do all graphics cards have DVI or HDMI outputs?

Hi, I have a cable which is a "VGA to RGB".. So what I'm trying to do is hook up my ACER laptop VGA monitor out to my Panasonic 32 TV RGB inputs.. But all I get is a screen of scrabbled images. I can see some of my laptops desktop images which are scrabbled up.. So my question is... Am I missing another piece of equipment? The Salesman at "Micro Center" said that this was all I needed..

I am having a lenovo T-61 laptop, it does not have S video out pin, it has got only vga out and USB out. I want to connect my laptop to a TV which is a CRT TV which has RCA pins as input. I am not able to get to know I do I connect my laptop to my TV. Kindly advice.

i hooked my new hp slimline to my new toshiba theater view hd tv and i get the desktop and everything but about 1/4 of the left side is cut off. it doesnt fillout the screen either.. P.S. it is hooked up correct!

Hello..My husband is wanting to hook up our computer to a 19 inch rca tv so we can use it for our monitor ( It's about 4-5 years old..How do we do this? Your help would be very appreciated..Thank you

EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm wondering if you read the article... If the television is not HD, you'll be disappointed in it as a computer monitor.

I have got picture inblack and white can you please help

Ever heard of Popcorn Hour? It seems that "media tanks" are strictly for playing previously downloaded media on your tv rather than the computer, but NOT for using your tv as a monitor. The Popcorn Hour uses a wireless device to make this easier... is there anything like that for what you are talking about? Anything out there to wirelessly convert your hdtv to a monitor for a computer in the same room? If you wanna come over and hook me up before Christmas, i may hook you up with a snickers, a cup of coffee, AND a few tennis lessons:)

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, Virginia... there is a technology Santa Claus! You can transmit an HDMI signal wirelessly, but the solutions on the market are not cheap. See this article from Home Entertainment Magazine: http://www.hemagazine.com/node/Wireless_HDMI
