Linking a LCD tv to my PC
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to link a LCD TV to my PC, but i want keep my existing monitor also connected to the PC. I want to do this because my DVD player on my computer is multi-region, any my XBOX 360 isn't. also i want to play games on a larger TV. I was told to use a KVM switch, but everything i look at seems to be linking 2 PCs to one monitor, not 2 VDU's to one PC. I'm based in England, so if anyone can either give me some weblinks for english sites which has the products that i need (ebuyer.com, amazon.co.uk etc) that would be great, or any information how i can do this would also be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks Jai |

if you have the right video card you may have an extra DVI/VGA port a HDMI port or Svideo port available to use
otherwise a new or extra video card is necessary |

it has a s-video connector and a dvi port, which would be best (LCD doesn't have a dvi port) - using s-video or dvi adapter to VGA and then connecting it to LCD Tv?

well now, its what your LCD TV has
VGA, DVI, HDMI, SVideo, Component or simple One line Video for the PC you can get cheap DVI to VGA adaptors there are DVI to HDMI cables, i think they cost quite a bit there are cheap SVideo to the one video cable adaptors there are DVI to Component Cables, again i think they cost alot |

for best quality i suggest a DVI to HDMI converter cable
a cheaper option may be a DVI to VGA converter cable, check the price first, if it differes by a few $ probably better to go for HDMI cheapest is an Svideo cable well the spec on ebuyer says that i supports DVI ive seen HDMI called DVI... at a samsung store... anyways best way to go is DVI to hdmi cable |
