What kind of video inputs are on your video card?

You should be able to buy a cable to convert the monitor output to either component video or S-video depending on your video card...look to see what you have for outputs.

S-video= teh ****

see if you have a DVI on your card/TV...that would be your best bet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Wait... what are you trying to get on your pc? TV out? Or Video In? I read it as the latter. I don't think your card has VIVO and you would therefore need a TV Tuner card or something similar.

Use the DVI-VGA connector supplied with your card...

S-video cable out and use the video card properties to send the signal to your television. Or, you could use a program like dscaler. It's quite simple.
