- PostOnce 16y agoRather, marketing. No-one profits from you plugging your PC into your TV, so no-one is going to spend marketing money to tell you you can do it. It's not hard. 1] Plug s-video cable into TV. 2] Right-click ATI tray icon / secondary display / enable. Done.
- GloryFish 16y agoYou couldn't pay me to run an s-video signal into my TV.
- PostOnce 16y agoI have an SDTV. I assume you could do the same with a DVI cable and an HDTV. Just replace the name of the cable, the steps remain the same.
- akeefer 16y agoDon't forget about audio. Even where the appropriate video output is available, many PC's lack any audio output other than a minijack.
- PostOnce 16y agoPlug the audio cable into whatever produces sound and you're fine. TV/receiver/pc speakers/whatever. Works for me. 1/8th inch -> standard RCA cable is pretty common I think. I have like 3.
- stcredzero 16y agoLots of gadgets throw that thing in for free. Only having 3 is evidence of frugality. There must be 10 of those things around my apartment.
