Connect PC to TV Help!!!

Post by HarryPutter »

I'm trying to send output to my TV from my PC to watch movies but cannot seem to get it right, the TV screen stays black!

My graphics card = Leadtek Winfast A250 Ultra TO (NVidia Ti4600)

My TV is a Philips with a Video & Audio RCA connections

Can anyone help??

Thanks! I seem to get a colour distorsion on the TV now at the previously mentioned resolution, but no display : (

Maybe it is the TV, it is about 7 years old.

If it doesn't work, go to Page 9 of this Hardware Section and look for the topic TV Card etc.

Good Luck
