I bought a TV that has HDMI ports and a computer that has them as well.
I want to watch movies from my computer on my television.
Is it a simple hook up with a cable or what do I have to do?
put hdmi cable into computer put hdmi cable into TV after that a menu might pop up asking you to customize it resolution and other stuff
if your TV and computer both have VGA cable ports it looks better if you do it that way
I have recently been diagnosed as near sited, so I have some problems seeing distance. I will have to soon wear glasses on a part time usage, for things like movies, classroom, and maybe driving (Doctor said maybe.) I would like to get surgery when I turn older to correct the problem, but I’m curious if maybe I fix a few things in my lifestyle, maybe my eyesight would change. I would like to mention that though both of my parents wear glasses, they did not start to wear them till they were about 40.
Does reading do any strain?
Yes, I strained my eyes and had to wear glasses for the first time in my life at 25. I changed everything and stopped coming on here as much and didn’t need the glasses a year later.
Yes reading strains. Anything that involves using your eyes a lot will strain.
My wife is disabled and sits across the room from the computer. Our television is nearby and is larger. It would be nice if I could connect the computer to the television so she can see things I get on the computer.
Yes, there is. This video should explain everything:

I don’t have cable, so I watch netflix and hulu and stuff online. Is there some kind of cord or magic box that would allow me to watch the internet on my tv? The tv is a Phillips flatscreen, and I have DSL and an Xbox 360, if any of that helps. Thanks!
You mean like this? http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/armchairaviator/computer/IMG_0880c.jpg
My computer has a DVI port, which is compatible with the HDMI ports on the HDTV. It’s connected using a DVI-to-HDMI cable. As you can see in the photo, it works perfectly.
I am looking for a program for my computer that would allow me to watch television on my computer, as it is live on the air. I don’t care ho much the program is but I am not looking for something that would give me a monthly fee. I have a mac. THX!

Someone told me that you can hook up a computer to a tv and use the tv screen as the monitor. How do you connect it? Does it matter what kind of tv?
He says that he thinks you can only do it with newer flat screen televisons. Can it be used on other types of televisions?
The best ones to use are indeed flat-panel HDTVs, that’s because they have computer-ready ports like HDMI. Older low-definition boob-tube TVs suck for use as monitors because they are very low resolution, and they don’t have computer-ready jacks.
I’m using a big-screen HDTV as my monitor. Since my computer has a DVI port that is compatible with HDMI, I have it hooked up using a DVI-to-HDMI cable. Works perfectly. Check it out:http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/armchairaviator/computer/IMG_0880c.jpg
Which ports do I need on my computer and on my tv to watch movies in HD on my television from my computer?
I think it was HDMI, but want to make sure.
The one that both your computer and your TV have. If they both have HDMI, use that. If not you’ll have to find some other common port (only HDMI includes sound in a single cable, though) or get a converter from what the computer has to what the TV has.
H, i’m almost 15 and going through puberty, but recently I became worried about growing taller, There’s a computer and T.V screens in my bedroom, The TV is not on the whole time, the computer is switched of at night and i’m not in my bedroom the whole time, but most of the time, so could the radiation from the computer and tv screens stunt my growth?
no it can’t plain and simple
I am not so tech savvy but I was wondering if there is a way of using a television as a computer monitor, or maybe there is a certain type of television out now that allows you to connect to your computer through a cable or something? Specifically I am looking for a way to download media and be able to view it on a television instead of crowded around a computer.
yes there is a relativliy simple solution to this
if your computer has a HDMI output or VGA, and your television has a HDMI or VGA input, then use the relevant wire and connect the two
bear in mind that VGA does not carry audio, so you will need a phono lead or something to connect the two
hdmi would be preferable as it carries both audio and video signals
Hi, I plan on purchasing this item here (link provided)

I plan on using mainly using for my computer. My question is, what kind of cable(s) do I need in order to hook this up to the tower of my computer?.
Thanks
According to that page you linked to, that TV has both an HDMI input and a VGA input.
If your computer has a digital jack (HDMI or DVI), you can connect it to the HDMI port on that TV.
If your computer only has an old analog VGA jack, then you connect it to the VGA Input on that TV.
Hope this helps.
