Worldofcables (Santa Clara- CA) & Cablewholesale -Playing computer games, watching downloaded movies or anything else done on a computer is great. Wouldn’t it be better if you could use your new 42″ HDTV as a display instead of your little 17″ computer monitor? Its difficult to resist that urge, but connecting a computer to a TV isn’t always as easy as you might hope. In fact, “How can I connect my computer to my television” is one of the most common questions we receive on our technical support lines. Sometimes, it can be as simple as a single cable, but more often than not, connecting these two devices requires a converter box. In this article, we’ll look at all the options for connecting a PC to a television.

Computers with a VGA output

Assuming your computer has a VGA input, then the easiest connection is if your TV also has a PC VGA input. This would be the standard VGA video output from a computer to the same connection on a TV. Many newer televisions, in particular HDTV?s, have this connection. If your TV does have this input, then a simple Super VGA cable (male to male) will do the trick, and will give you the best possible video quality.

If your television does not have a VGA input, your next best bet is if the television has a component video input. If so, a converter box is available (our part number 40H1-50200) that will convert your VGA signal into Component video. (Note that this part only works in one direction; if you needed to convert component video back to VGA, you would want part number 40H1-50300). Component video gives you the same high quality picture as VGA, so it’s the next best choice after VGA for converting a computer signal. (The other two video options we list below, composite video and s-video, will not deliver as clean a picture, and should only be used when neither VGA nor component video are available. )more on www. worldofcables. com

VGA to Component Converter

Converting VGA to component video often causes confusion for customers, who wonder why a converter box is needed. This confusion is because there is also a cable out there that looks as though it would do the same job as the VGA to component video conversion box. VGA to component video cables, such as the one shown to the right, are often mistakenly purchased in an attempt to connect a computer’s VGA source to a component video display.

VGA to component cable

The reason why this cable will not work to convert a computer’s VGA signal into component video is because the VGA signal and component video signal are very different video signal types. It takes more than a simple cable to convert between the two. This cable is actually designed for use with certain projectors that have a 15-pin VGA connection that is specially designed to be capable of accepting the component video signal (often referred to as a Y/Pb/Pr signal). This design is so that the projector doesn’t have to have separate jacks for both component video and VGA, thus saving space (and money). This same dual-purpose connector is also found on certain HDTV set-top boxes.

If you have an older television set that has neither a VGA nor a component video input, then it will most likely have a composite video (yellow RCA jack) and / or an S-video connection. To convert your VGA into Composite video or S-video, our part number 41CV-50220 will do the trick. This box gives you the option of converting your computer’s VGA signal into either Composite or S-video. It also has an additional VGA output if you would like to have a VGA monitor and your TV hooked up at the same time. More on www. worldofcables. com

Computers with a DVI output

Any new HDTV out recently will have a DVI or HDMI input on it as its digital connection. If this is the case for you, connecting your PC to the television is simply a matter of choosing either a DVI cable (if your TV has a DVI input port on it) or a DVI to HDMI cable (if your TV has an HDMI port on it).

So what do you do if your television is not equipped with DVI or HDMI ports? Well, as it turns out, most computer video cards with DVI on them can be readily adapted to a VGA connection using a simple DVI to VGA adaptor to convert the DVI port into a VGA port. From there, you can simply follow the instructions above for connecting a VGA output to your TV. More on www. worldofcables. com

What about Audio?

All of the options listed above are for video signals only. Audio will have to be run separately. Fortunately, unlike the video hookup, connecting up audio between a computer and a TV is pretty straightforward. Computer sound cards have a 3. 5mm (sometimes also referred to as a 1/8 inch) connection. This is the same connection you would find on headphones or computer speakers. That signal is easily converted to a 2 RCA (Red and White) stereo connection, which can be plugged into the back of your TV, or the back of your receiver if you have one. Worldofcables offers two versions of this cable, depending on your needs; our standard quality and premium quality 3. 5mm to two RCA cables are shown in the pictures on the right.

I bought KDL-46VE5 TV after a rather extensive research. I almost decided on a Samsung, but after going to the store and see some of them, I decided that Samsung was too bright for my tastes. I saw the 40 ?version of this TV on display at the store, and it looked fantastic. Sharp, not white. Power Management to see what looks good in person, I am very close to a decision The last piece of the puzzle to fit the position I have. It sounds silly, but that?s another $ 200 ? $ 300 for decent work. My position is 20 cm wide and about 3 / 4 ?lip around the edge. Sony stand about 18 ?wide, and television on the rise under his lip, it worked pretty well. Amazon?s service is perfect for this. Free Shipping on condition worked well. The company that makes the Ceva (I think) was early, and led him up the stairs to the third floor for me. They have offered to unpack, but I refused and wanted to do for themselves to make sure you save money for moving purposes. It took me about 30 minutes to have unpacked the TV, which is attached and television began. Note, I ? would have been faster with an assistant. The picture on this TV is simply awesome! I saw the drop in Blu-ray and my first film, mainly because a film is very dark, and I wanted to see what were the black levels. Sony VE5-Series has not disappointed. Most of the film takes place in dark caves, and most of the time I could not even see the line between film noir and the edge of the mailbox. The singularity that was only the beginning of the film is a scene of rafting that seemed very strange to me before. Demonstrated that this was because the director had used the movement of the camera for dramatic effect and technology ?Motion Flow to cancel! E ?only off Motion Flow. I leave it aside because I have noticed some aspects are unclear, even to him. The only thing lacking a bit ?for KDL-46VE5 is good, but it?s not horrible, and honestly, if you?re willing to give money to the TV, so be prepared to pay for a good sound system too. In general, I recommend this TV. You can read more than Sony bravia 46 lcd hdtv at http://www. 46lcd. us/sony-reviews

Sony BRAVIA  KDL-46VE5 is an excellent television. Image Quality:The image quality of this set is excellent. In the setup menu, set the picture in “in vivo” and how the quality of high definition is simply the life-like. The color and contrast are excellent. What also use Sony MotionFlow asked that helps soften the image when you are watching fast action images. Technology background:This is an LCD, but using hot cathode fluorescent lamp for lighting. This technology allows it to be much more energy efficient and close to par with the energy use of LCD televisions with LED backlighting. Most LCDs use cold cathode fluorescent lamp. The 40 “model using a maximum of 140 watts, 46? using a maximum of 160 watts and 52 “using a maximum of 180 watts. Eco-Friendly:Sensor has a known presence sensor that does two things. First, is the environment (room) and if the light is darkened room, the devil image on the TV automatically. This works well if you are watching TV in the bedroom at night and you want less light output. The second thing it does is that the sensor detects movement and space for body heat. If you leave the room for a preset amount of time (5 min, 30 min, …) and with no one around the TV connection, the picture will go off. If you walk in the room, the senses, which converts screen again. The sound is kept in 30 minutes or so, then all enter into standby mode if no sense. Both of these features can be turned off via the menu to configure a warehouse and energy aid. Features (only a few of them):Television is loaded with features. Automatically if it has something connected to sense input (eg HDMI2). This is great when you hit the input button on the remote because it does not select items that are not currently sending a signal. This means that you do not have to scroll through 10 items, only if you have two components connected to the TV. In the configuration menu you can configure each input to always, always, or auto. Always used in the input stage of the PC, as the equipment used for cable identification can not send a signal of what the television has not felt the same. Always believing that the PC input is always available when browsing through the entries. It also has plenty of inputs. There are 4 HDMI inputs. If you have DVI port of your PC, then you can ID through 1 HDMI port, which also has an analog audio input. There is a dedicated composite (with S-video) and a dedicated entrance, but there is another switchable composite / component input you can use if you have two composite and one component, or vice versa. There is an input to connect to PC via the VGA connection. The optical digital audio output is an analog output and a rope. In general, this is not a cheap TV, but I think this is a case that you get what you pay for. It’s really a great set.

I was on the market for a plasma TV for 5 years and finally decided to pull the trigger. Specifically, I compared and Samsung, Panasonic and characteristics both outside, but I always considered the best for the Panasonic 2 with respect to plasma technology. To begin with I was more in the way of adjusting the color, but I can not complain to me is more than just set the tv. As expected, the quality standard (480i) is nothing to write home about. However, it is better than most LCD TVs in this department. I have a Roku box for streaming movies from Netflix and Amazon. The S-video is to show a nice respectable image in the 720, better yet, using the streaming of high definition video HDMI (1080i). Now for Blu-ray. I will probably never buy a Blu-ray on their own, I bought a PS3, I connected through a Sony receiver (HDMI) and the TC-P46S1 via HDMI. The display 1080p on this unit, I believe, is unique for this price. The only difference between this unit (series S1) and the G1 series is the addition of a LAN port and the THX certification on the G1. The LAN port does Panasonic Viera expressed that the PS3 can not do to access the BD-Live content from Blu-ray. THX could help with the display of 1080p content at 24fps film, but side by side is th41e same native resolution and 40,000:1 dynamic 2,000000:1. Here are the most important things you can say about my purchase:1) TV directly from Amazon ? I repeat, not the order of one of its partners. My first was broadcast on television and cracked ? totally destroyed ? but because I got it directly from Amazon can ship me another, immediately and without complications. These televisions are fragile and May have problems in the transport of goods ? be smart and order it directly from Amazon. 2) There is a TV with a nice large image, but especially at night. Plasmas do not do well in daylight. When the darkness and I watch a movie is wonderful. Do not buy a plasma quarter. 3) It is a model of value ? which means a lot to gain from their investment, but there is not much for fancy bells and whistles. It is good ? especially if there is an update to its first high-definition television. 4) the HD channels look amazing ? the strings are not very good. Because this TV is so strong that all the imperfections you see something that is not HD. I really can not see the newspapers, even the non-HD channels, as it seems terrible.
