Re: Pc to tv. How?

Hmmm.. Now I really am confused. The specs on that site clearly say that my tv definately has a vga input. ..but i could have sworn that it doesn't. And the guy who's at home and texted me the model number says the same. *loosing my marbles* ....ok. So, assuming it does actually have the vga input, that's simple to sort out having read what you.ve posted about getting two vga leads and the splitter. ......but, incase it doesn't have it, where does that leave me?

Re: Pc to tv. How?

Re: Pc to tv. How?

Re: Pc to tv. How?

For very boring reasons i am simply unable to tinker with the pc in any way. Changing the gfx card simply isn't an option.

Re: Pc to tv. How?

Is there such thing as a VGA to HDMI converter, if so the splitter idea could still work...
