Question

How can you get computer screen movies on your tv?

Answer 1

Your tv has to have the pc hook up in the back or you can use the s cable hook up if your tv has one of those.

Answer 2

Depends on your setup.

If your TV will also work as a monitor (LCD TVs and some Plasmas) then some of them have a VGA port on the back that you can plug into your computer and use it as a second monitor. If you don't have a VGA port but have HDMI ports on your TV you may be able to use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect to your computer.

For older TVs you can use an s-video port and s-video cable to connect to your computer, but your video card and computer has to have an s-video port as well.

Answer 3

The answer to that is a bit complicated.  It depends on what type of graphics card you have, What type of TV you have, and the connectors that both of them have.  If you are luck enough to have a newer TV with a Plethora of connectors, you should have no trouble finding the right connector to match up with the one on you computer.  

If you have one of them old SD style TV's you will need some sort of adapter.  They usually don't support the modern connector standards.

If you are lucky enough to have a dual output graphics card, then you just need to set up the TV as the 2nd video monitor.
