I just got an extra computer from work that has been sittin around for a bit and not bein used. Got a big *** monitor with it to. Thing is, i wanna hook it up to the flat screen on the wall in my office. How can i get the computer to hook up to the reciever or the tv?

 

Get a video card with svideo or composite out
OR
if you have a TV with VGA or DVI in then you are set.

 

english? lol...my extant of hookin stuff up is color coded rca cables lol. I have a reciever and would like to go thru that if its possible. is there a type of cable that can hook up to the reciever from the comp?

 

find a cheaper one of these, that will do it...

the yellow is composite
This is s-video

I'm betting your TV has at least one of either of these. And you could get a video card to replace or augment the one you have to output in one of these formats.

This is VGA
The white one is DVI

Your TV MAY have one of these. If it does then you don't need a new card and should be able to hook up your computer directly with no changes.

Savy?

 

ok, thanks...ur pretty good lol

its a vga on the computer. their isnt a cord that i could hook up to the reciever is their?

 

Well thats the question isn't it. You need to find out what your TV accepts. Once you know that, then we can give you options.

 

is there a simple way to find that out? the thing is kinda mounted on the wall at the moment. thats the one of the reasons why i wanted to go thru the reciever. kinda like a vga to rca cord if thats even possible.

 

Might be easier if you find out whats on the TV, but if you must something like this might work:
