Vanzant Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I checked search and the pinned guide and couldnt find what I wanted. I checked google and all I got was watching TV on the computer. What I want to do is run my computer on my Sanyo 27'' flatscreen for playing games and such. I know at Officemax they have a one hundred dollar program to easily do that but it's also a graphics card. I've seen a friend of mine do this without any fancy programs I just wish I had asked him how it was done. Anyway is there any other way around doing this without a expensive program? I have a Emachine w2646 if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forfit Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 im not too sure if theres an easy way to get around it.....one of my teachers at school had theirs mickey moused to a TV but i dont know how. The only way i know is with a Video card that has either S-video but you can get them with HDTV/S-Video/Composite Out and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forfit Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Maybe if you have like 40 bucks laying around you can get This. and Infact i own this EXACT card, but i paid 80 bucks for it Stupid Staples, anyways it wasnt half bad, i played Vice City on it..and it has the S Video to connect to a Tv with the cable it comes with...half decent card, sorry i cant help you out without having you spend money, maybe someone else has a better answer hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for what graphics card I have its just standard I imagine. I might check into Radioshack for this It may or may not be compatible with my card but it's worth a shot. Thanks SIP.
