as long as your TV has an input that your video card can plug into, it shouldn't be a problem
Lcd Tv
Hey,
I'm thinking of buying a LCD TV for my room, but if I buy it i would like it to be attacted to the computer that way when i wanna show something on the computer like a dvd or something, i'd be able too
is this possible? i've got a ati 9200 video card and my monitor is a sharp lcd 17" (it isnt widescreen and the tv would be widescreen i'm not sure if this is a problem)
anyways thanks for ur time, i really dont know that much about tv and video cards (Sorry if this is in the wrong section but i think it has to do with videocards)

You can leave the PC hooked up to it, the LCD should have couple inputs, all you to do is switch between inputs with the remote.
For Example:
LCD input (TV) I don't know how many inputs this monitor has if you can check and post the model or a link to the TV it would help, let's just say you have all these inputs below:
1. S-Video
2. Composite
3. Composite
4. DVI
5. VGA
6. Coaxial
- Let's say you have a cable box and you use the S-Video output from the box to connect to the S-Video input on the TV. To watch regular cable TV you have to switch to input #1 to watch cable TV.
- Now assuming your computer has a DVI output, you would connect that output to the DVI input on the monitor, and to display your computer you would have to switch to intput #4 which is your DVI.
This is just an example, it could be different for your TV.

You should be fine with both TV's. Do you have a cable box?
Cable box?
nevermind that :smile: . What else will you be plugging into the TV?

the computer and a bell expressview satallite and mabye my gamecube
and in about a year revolutions (new nintendo system)
and i'm not quite sure about a dvd player cause i'll have my dvd playrer on the pc so there would be really no point in buying another one

You should be fine with either TV's then.
k ty (which would u recommend?) go for the brand? or save 700$ but i might lose qualityi'd go with the sharp. The thing with LCD's and plasma is that they can't display pure black. The better LCD's black is a little darker than the cheaper LCD's. I would pick the Sharp, we have those at the office and they are decent quality. I've never heard about the other brand. I would buy the sharp, you're already spending a good amount of money so you might as well get something that looks good and I'm the sure the sharp can display "black" better than the other one.
Have you checked out the panasonic? It has a better comb filter than the others one from what I've read. Now before I make any of the purchases I would go check them out at the store.

I would go to the MFG's website and see if they have the specs there, but remember with LCD's the wider the angle the darker the picture will get.
