Using your television as a moniter for your computer

I know this can be done but the problem is it says u need a s video cord, rca cables, or a converter Which you do but what will give me the best picture and quality im looking for,for the best price even if its just a cable i dont have a svideo hookup on the back of my computer so i was looking for something that goes through the vga or moniter connecter to like the back of my samsung vcr to like a svideo or the rca cables or even better the red, green, and blue cables which people say gives you the best quailty and picture Ive looked everywhere but cant seem to find anything that works for me so this is a problem if anyone could help this would be greatly appriciated and yes i know that the picture isnt going to be the best because of resolution factors but i dont have to buy a pricy moniter

There's a buzzing sound coming from our RCA Scenium tv, how do we fix it?

Are you using RCA type audio cables?, if so, make sure the connectors are tight and the cables are not frayed, it also helps routing those analog cables at least 8 inches away from any power cords or transformers. Buzzing usually is caused by loose ground connections or RF interference.

Got a svga/hdmi cord and hooked up for my panasonic viera plasma to my computer but nothing shows on my component 2. also wondering if i'll need a cord for audio - i have double red/white/yellow...

You probably would need the extra audio cords seeings as normal svga connection won't suppost sound streaming. mixing and matching connections is always a pain to perfect.
If you are using the HDMI end on your plasma, then you will have the video show up on the HDMI channel. Then get an RCA red and white pair - 3.5mm jack and plug the jack into your PC's audio connection port and the RCA's into the Audio In ports in the back of the TV.
Once done the TV should display video and play sound from the PC. Failing this, try a few different configuration but always keep the audio plugged into the same Audio in port on the TV. Bacause then you at least know the channel that the audio works on ;D
Hope this helps mate, any more q's just ask!

Pc to tv

if you PC has one of the following outputs then it will work ...
composite (rca jack) , S-Video , HDMI or component (three wire rca jack) ...

several video cards have at least composit video out as well as the normal VGA output . look for a single RCA.jack ....
if your video card does not support any of these formats then you would need a VGA converter box to one of those formats ... there is also a USB to s-video/composite converter cable ...

the resolution of your set is 1024 X 768 ... so thats what you would set the video card for ..

A/V cable

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

On most handheld TV units, the A/V input requires a 3.5mm stereo baby phone plug. While on most projectors, the Video out is a composite single RCA jack. What would be needed then is a 3.5 babyphone to RCA cable/adapter.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy New Year.

Connect Playstation 2 to computer monitor

try going to your local radioshack and asking for a cable to do it. Tell them it needs to be "double male" infering that the piece sticks into another part instead of bieng stuck into. Then tell them one end needs to be "RCA cables" (the red white and yellow ones) and the other end needs to be a computer moniter cable. There are several types of moniter cables you can use, look in the back of your moniter to see what you have. There should be writing that says any 1 of the following "s video in", "dv in" "video in" etc. ask the radioshack man to get the non RCA side of the cable to have one of these on it. If you need to, it helps to take a picture of the back of the moniter where all the input plugs are, and show it to the radio shack man, he can probably help decide which cable to use. Once you buy the cable, plug the red yellow and white side into the red yellow and white holes respectively on the PS2, and the moniter cable into the moniter. Turn on the moniter and the PS2 and... Voila. PS You may need to take out the cable connecting the moniter to the PC to put in the new radioshck cable. I hope this works for you-BCA
