How To Use The TV As A PC Monitor

For a while I come look at my 32 “TV and think, And why not connect the PC in the TV and play my favorite games on the big screen? te same thing happens? Well, I decided to do it, but there are some limitations that ultimately may make it not worthwhile. I’ll explain later in this article. 1 .- Identify your inputs TV TV Most have three basic connections. They have the coaxial cable (antenna), RCA composite video connectors that are red, yellow and white and S-Video. Almost all connections also include VGA, HDMI, Component and DVI. 2 .- Identify the outputs on your computer.

At present, manufacturers are increasingly adding more outputs on TVs, making it easier to connect to other computers. The S-Video in particular seems to be gaining ground in more and more computers. Mainly you will find the usual VGA out, where normally connect your monitor. Today, many televisions have inputs VGA which makes it very easy to use as a PC monitor, but we focus on the connection on television not so new, that are in greater proportion than we found in homes. 3 .- I’ll find the correct adapter for your connections. You may need to buy an adapter or breakout box to connect the PC to the TV. They consist of an adapter that on one hand has a VGA input, which connect the PC, and a series of outputs, S-video, RCA or Component).

We recommend purchasing one of these adapters, but it’s the wireless feature, since it is much more comfortable at the time of their installation and can connect without having the PC near the TV. 4 .- Connect your computer to the television. If you have a connection to your TV that is compatible with any of the outputs on your PC, plug it directly. If you do not have available, connect through the junction box that we have discussed above the VGA from your PC and then connect the RCA cables, S-Video or Component to the TV. Turn on the television and computer and select the TV channel you have selected the link to view the image on the screen. Now the moment you may feel somewhat disappointed. The video signal the TV is called PAL (NTSC if you live outside Europe). This signal differs from that generated by the PC. Computers use resolutions that are measured in pixels: 320×200, 320×240, 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024 or 1600×1200. Most TVs are only capable of displaying 500 lines of resolution, the equivalent of 500 vertical pixels on a PC. You can not select higher resolution in these televisions, so we can enjoy the most that is a resolution of 640x480px. Nor is it the worst in the world, you can play and watch videos in low resolution without problems, but for now you can not have video quality that makes the usual PC monitor. This problem was corrected in most current plasma TVs or LCD, as native connections include VGA or HDMI, which provide high resolution without having to acquire any other adapter.
