Help me if you can im feeling down

[The Deco]

and I do appreciate for being around xD

OK could find any information on that plug, I searched for S video but it isn't exactly like this. I PICTURED THIS PIC MY SELF,WOOOOTTT


OK, im trying to plug my TV (yes its the big square ones without that I GOT PLAZMA/LCD WOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT) to my computer but I don't know wtf is this plug, any help?

They made a couple of different kinds of S-Video ports, it's probably a newer one, judging by the DVI connector next to it. Just buy a standard S-Video cable and it should work. If it doesn't, take it back and ask if they have a different kind of S-Video cord?

 

[The Deco]

That's a rape, ill check it, still need more help!


Can someone explain me what's the difference between S-video, RGB, RCA.

As well as if I convert VGA to RCA, what would happen in terms of quality and if do I need some of support from neither the PC or the TV?

BTW tv was made in 95, my dad got it from granp's, its a Toshiba though...

you can buy s-video to RGB converter cables, I use one myself.

then use use a RGB cable from the converter to your TV
and you've got a screen, however sound isn't send through s-video

 

[The Deco]

I checked it out, but my TV has only 1 yellow plug for video, RGB are 3 different cables that work together to give the video image.

dont need sound got it from the PC

 

[Prozac]

actually RGB is one cable for video and TWO for stereo sound.
and the yellow plug is video.

 

[The Deco]

RGB is that? Not every TV supports RGB though.


So I meant RCA, splits 3 cables each transferring video

 

[Almighty_Gir]

if you're going to a big screen, use the DVI, it's what it's there for.

oh, and you're confused between component, and composite cables Prozac.

RGB = Component, red green blue colour channels (without v-sync).
composite = 1 video + 2 audio.

S-video will NEVER upscale correctly to RGB.
DVI cannot convert to RGB either, as DVI = digital, and RGB = analogue.


go for DVI to HDMI, it won't carry sound, but it'll output any resolution you like. what tv are you using?

 

[The Deco]

a 95' Toshiba, POWNED


Nah, ill never go on a LCD, first the widescreen makes the screen look tiny, secondly too much money for an LCD


LCD refers to plasma as well.


Although I thought about something.

Plugging TV to DVD composite then plug DVD component to PC component (S-video to RGB adapter)

 

[Almighty_Gir]

lol, i run a 37" lcd, at 1920x1080 resolution, and NOTHING looks tiny.

 

[The Deco]

Nah, not tiny. The screen itself, lets take 42 inch normal television and put it near a LCD widescreen 42 inch television. Since there shape is different, ull notice a difference. the normal tv will look bigger

 

[Almighty_Gir]

not at all, when you're playing games you'll actually get a more panoramic view.

trust me, i even use my tv for games design. it's a monsta.

 

[The Deco]

OK, 2 problems: 1) you use a big TV screen, which I can't afford, so even if ill get a 22 inch or 26 inch it will look pretty tiny if its wide screen.
2) Even the tiniest LCD TV screen is expensive, very

thanks anyhow
