How can i hook my desktop up to my t.v?
I have seen it done before but never found out how to do it.
Is there an adapter they make?
My t.v is Hd if that matters or not.I dont know.
If anybody knows what i need please let me know.

Thanks

What graphics card do you have? With older graphics card you just use the S-video out and hook it up to the TV. With newer cards you should be able to use the HDMI out.
