If you haven’t done so already , connect your computer to your TV ! With the newer flatscreen TVs it is a far superior experience and quite fun, really. I have just connected my desktop to my Samsung LCD TV via an HDMI cable and I cannot believe the quality in sound and image. I use a wifi keyboard and mouse so that I am not sitting like a twit in front of the TV!

So, look at your connections:

vga

VGA are the older video connections and are on most computers, monitors and TVs. You can connect through those. You will have to go into the display settings and adjust for you screen.

dvi

DVI are more modern and are on some monitors and computers. My experience is they are not as reliable with graphic drivers as HDMI and VGA. They do produce a very high quality picture, though. They may not be on your TV but you can get DVI/ VGA leads and DVI/ HDMI leads so you could connect that way.

Through experience I am sold on HDMI. They are very solid connections. You don’t have to worry about bent or broken pins and the sound quality is excellent. I connected my desktop to the TV via HDMI , chose HDMI from the menu on the TV, selected HDMI sound in the control panel on my computer and it was that easy. I went into the display settings to adjust the display to my liking but the default one was fine – just couldn’t read text from where I was sitting. My desktop is a mini tower so it is now staying permanently hooked up to my TV. Don’t know why I didn’t do it before.
