Is there a way to hook a big TV to your computer

Any way they are compatable, any type of adapter or connector you can buy to hook up your TV instead of your moniter?

 

You need a TV out card.

 

Look through these.

 

I have not set up a TV as a monitor before, but I know that the computer handles them differently. I am not sure you could use the TV as a primary screen unless it is described as a TV/monitor.
Have a read through this:

If it is not a "TV/monitor" it should still work fine as a secondary screen.

Check it's specifications and manual.

It won't work right with an analogue TV no matter how big the screen is. The computer has to set the rez down to 640x480 if I remember right, and the picture looks like crud on the TV screen. You need to get a digital TV that can double as a computer monitor, like one of those new HDTV-ready monitors I've seen for $15,000 and up.

 

Thanks for the reponse guys. It appears it is more costly than I had anticipated and may not work anyway. It was just a thought on my part so I could have a big screen to read instead of a small one.
