How do you connect a pc to a tv?

Specs: Powerspec 6640

Processor: AMD 64 CPU Driver

System Board: ATI Chipset Drivers

Video: ATI X Series Video Drivers

Sound: Realtek Audio Drivers

Modem: Aztech PCI Modem Drivers

LAN: Realtek 8100C Network Drivers




Any special hardware that I need or video adapters for this to work?

Also, needed to be able to play videos from computer on TV (which is about 10 ft away from pc) including both audio and video.

The most basic method is if your graphics card has an S-Video out on it.

You just get an S-Video cable (or S-Video to Composite converter if that's what you need to use) and hook your TV's input channel to it. Then assign your TV as the second monitor inside your OS' display settings. However, the primary problem with this is it causes big resolution issues (SDTV resolutions are much lower than typical PC resolutions).

There are other ways (that usually solve the resolution issues) but they involve HDMI/DVI and HDTVs.

I'm just going to end up buying a scan converter.
