Hi
Im wanting some info on the from PC to TV lead you can buy.

This sounds too good to be true but I know its possible, the thing is I don't know what to buy in order to do it.

Any advice will be much apreciated.

Thanks in advance

you need to have a vga socket on your telly ,if you have, just run a wire from the monitor to the pc and select the input source on your telly

S-Video & left/right (red white) Phono, standard TV out, will do the job. If TV does not have S-Video & Audio in use scart adapter as suggested above (a couple of quid on ebay)!

Thanks for your helpful replies

I don't really wanna run a lead from the tv to the computer as they are gonna be in totally different rooms.

Is there an alternative?

Sorry if im vague or slack! just really dont know what im looking for lol

unfortunatly a lead of one sort or another still required... Maybe... in the future... well... who knows!

Video/IR sender and reciever will do the trick

I stand corrected, didn't realise these worked for PC to TV - I may get one! Something like this may work for you missy.

I am wanting to watch videos from my laptop on my TV, will these sugestions work for that?

I was told to use a sub d cable, have tried it and can see the laptop on the TV but when I try to play a video the player is blank on the TV screen.

Try another software to read your videos.
I'd use Media Player Classic.
