Re: How to get Desktop PC Video and Audio through TV

Another easy way is if your TV has a PC input. Both of my LCD TVs have this feature which comprises a regular monitor connector for a standard PC monitor cable and a minijack stereo jack for audio. So you connect the monitor cable from the PC (I use a laptop that has a connector for an external monitor) to the TV connector and the audio cable from the headphone or speaker out jack on the PC to the TV jack. Then select the PC source on the TV. With the laptop on my wireless network this is great for watching webcasts or on-demand web video. For instance I have been watching the Giro d'Italia video feed from Universal Sports website. No commercials.... can't beat it! You can also just use the TVs like very big PC monitors for regular applications. Of course this method only works if your TV has the requisite connectors for a PC source. Good luck.
