Connecting a PC to a TV

Featured Replies

I have a Samsung LE37S73BD tv and would like to connect my PC to it. At the moment I'm connecting it via S-Video but the picture is shocking and this is the only screen for my PC.

What is my best option?

VGA > VGA

DVI > VGA

DVI > HDMI

The tv has the following connections

Scart

HMDI/DVI in

VGA

My PC has the following connections

VGA

DVI

S-Video

DVI HDMI will give the best result because its digital all the way, but depending on the tv you maybe limited to HD resolutions (eg. 1920x1080 etc.)

VGA should you a pixel map 1:1, like you get on a TFT monitor, but you will need to check that the native resolution of the TV is supported via VGA.

From what I can see in the manual 1360x768 is the max resolution the TV can handle.

Found the user manual on Samsungs website and it states 'Do not attempt to connect the HDMI/DVI connector to a PC or Laptop Graphics Card, this will result in a blank screen.

Ahh well, guess it's just the VGA option then.

in that case stick with vga, connect and set the resolution to 1360x768 and marvell at the picture quality.
