Yes you can do that. What is an HD port?

Oh btw, shorten your sig, only 10 lines allowed.

Do you mean you have an HDMI, DVI, VGA, or Component video on the back of your TV? If it's DVI, yes you can easily connect them, but if it's HDMI you will need a converter (under $10 on newegg).

All computer monitors above about 800X600 are considered High-Definition, so you have seen HD before. And to repeat what was said earlier, you may want to shorten your signature, only ten lines allowed.

even if it were dvi, you'd need an adapter

monitors and tv's use different dvi cables

Burgerbob · 12-30-2006, 04:08 AM

DVI-Analog, for some rare CRTs.

I see 10 lines exact in his sig...oh, and someone else told me that anything form 1200x1024 and up are HD. Where did this 800x600 come up as HD?

There are different grades of HD, like 720p, 1080i, etc.
