Question: I would like to know how I could connect my CPU to the TV(instead of getting a monitor),Using the video/Audio in port.
Thanks in advance
Answer: This can be done quite easily but remember that the display quality will depend on what port you use to connect the CPU to the TV. To get the best possible results, one should connect CPU to a LCD TV using HDMI cable. If you use a normal TV, then the quality will be bad and only good enough for viewing movies etc.
To get started you CPU needs to have either of VGA, RCA, DVI, HDMI or S-Video outputs.
1. Using VGA is not recommended due to low quality and high cable cost. VGA cable has RCA connectors at other end but it hard to find.
2. RCA to cable is also an option but again has same down points as the above method. Also there are hardly any graphics card that have RCA connectors these days.
3. S-Video is the most used connector for connecting CPU to TV as cable costs are low and quality is decent. But remember that it is extremely important to find the right kind of cable, otherwise there can be loads of problem.
4. DVI and HDMI are the newer ports used to connect CPU to LCD TVs. DVI has different versions, so check it out before buying one. Using a HDMI cable is the best way to do this but both your PC and TV need to have HDMI connectors.
Also you will need to set the mode of display output in graphics card settings if not detected automatically. For this purpose you will need a monitor, and you can not do without it.
The second query is by aman pal :
i want to know about window installation.
A bit more elaboration could have certainly helped a lot. Assuming you are asking the basic procedure of windows installation, it is very simple. Just get your hands on a bootable Windows CD/DVD and put it up in the drive and boot from it. This will begin the installation. Select the partition or make one in which you want Windows to get installed and enter the key when asked to. You might have to set up a few things like country, internet settings etc if you are installing Windows XP. This is it, Windows will be set up automatically in a few minutes depending on your PC configuration. If this isn't what you were looking for, put your query in the comment below!
