Can i connect video card of my computer to my television set?
I want to connect my video card of my computer to my television set so that i can have the experience of watching it on a bigger screen. What resolution does a normal video card support? If i can, can i connect it to a 29 inch television?
If you've got an S-Video jack on your card and your TV will support that connection to it, it can be done. Also if your card has the general Video/Audio outputs and your TV can support that input, that could work too. The most current option is to have a HDMI jack on both your video card and your TV - this supports the High Definition format, specifically for TV programs, but I believe it could be used with a computer connection as well. Other TVs support a direct Analog or DVI connection to act as your monitor for your computer. It really depends upon what your TV can support and what your video card has. As far as resolution goes, you will not find a limitation as to what a TV can display with only two factors to consider: If you have a HDTV TV, then you could play HD movies from your computer and enjoy the full effect. The other factor is that you are only limited by your video card as to what resolution you can display on your TV.
Enjoy!
