Using a TV as a Monitor

Your PC may have TV-out (select models only) capability, which means you can connect it to a television to view the computer image on a TV screen. With the TV-out feature, you can view the computer image, watch DVD movies (if you have a DVD player), or play games using your TV.

Cables You May Need

To connect a TV to the PC, you may need a video cable and an audio cable (not provided; purchase separately). The type of video cable you need depends on your TV:

If your TV has an S-video jack, you need an S-video cable.

If your TV has a composite video jack, you need a composite video cable, and, depending on the jacks on the back of your PC, you may also need an S-video adapter cable.

Viewing the PC Image on Your TV Screen

The type of video card on your PC determines how the PC selects the TV-out option.

When you want to disconnect the TV from your PC, you may need to disable the TV option to return your PC display to its original resolution.
