Start with the video card information first. Do you HAVE a TV-out connector of dongle? Your video card or possible another card has to provide a TV compatible signal and output connector first. 2. Once you're sure you have the TV out connection, then it's just a case of connecting it to the TV set with an appropriate cable to the appropriate jacks on the TV. 3. The audio as a rule does not accompany the video signal so if you want the audio too you likely have to connect a sound card output to a TV audio input also. 4. It can be handy at times to put your display to a TV set, but if you wish to use it as a replacement monitor, it may not be an ideal situation for you. HD sets help, assuming you can get HD output from your computer, but it's still not all that good or easy to see, and analog outputs are pretty bad for reading just about anything but very large text. You really need to provide more information to get a very good answer. There is too much missing information. HTH Twayne

Re: Bigger display? "JimL" <inkleput[ at ]isp.com> 11/26/2008 12:47:19 AM Thanks. I'm trying to line up anything I can ahead of time. I don't actually have the flatscreen yet. -- JimL "Anthony Buckland" <anthonybucklandnospam[ at ]telus.net> wrote in message news:ujU8Q2rTJHA.1184[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...

Re: Bigger display? "JimL" <inkleput[ at ]isp.com> 11/26/2008 12:59:58 AM Thank you very much. That's what I love about a place where people have answers on the tip of their tongue. I could have Googled for weeks and never have come across that. Especially given the condition of my short term memory. I appreciate it immensely. -- JimL "The Samurai" <popadom12[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:23883c71-ce32-4b2a-8f48-e90501bfee53[ at ]w39g2000prb.googlegroups.com...
