barryk32 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I have just found out the big tele doesn't have a VGA socket, which is piss poor, but anyways, it does have the following:- HDMI socket. 2 SCART sockets. Component video socket. Composite. AV socket. I see there are leads from VGA to all of these but which do I want? The Virgin currently goes to the hdmi socket so that is out of bounds really unless there is some sort of splitter. Cheers. Quote

HomerJay Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) whats the video card in your computer? if its ati, im sure they can output to component with an adapter. hmm, seems to be older ati cards, http://www.svideo.com/hdtvr8500.html they are only a few quid on ebay, so maybe worth a stab? instructions http://www2.ati.com/manuals/CmpVidAd.pdf btw, dont be fooled into buy just a cable to change the connector, that wont work.

Fucksticks, how did I know that would be the case...... I shall check the graphics card when I get to work. I suspect it doesn't have a dedicated one though. Quote
HomerJay Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) if its a proper pc, buy a hdmi graphics card for ?27 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/239012 then hdmi switch for ?12 http://www.ebuyer.co...medium=products bit messy, but its guarenteed to work. or kill 2 birds and buy a nice surround amp with a built in hdmi switcher this is a steal at ?199, should be ?350 or so. complete with speakers too http://www.pixmania....eady-5-1ch.html bish bash bosh!
