Graphics Card HDTV Out

[Bondizzo]

Hi guys , I currently have a 8800 GT , and its got hdtv out via component, I'd like to know if its possible to connect it to a standard tv with component inputs, will that work ?

So you're saying your 8800GT has Component Video out, and your TV has Component Video in? That will definitely work.

Yes, it'll work. My neighbor has an 8800GT connected via component to his TV.

okay cool, where can I get extended component cables ? or can I get normal rca cables ?

Normal RCA cables will work (they're just co-ax with RCA connectors).

I used old thin speaker wires for a distance of 30 meters and it worked 100%, crystal clear.
I just cut the original "component/rca" yellow cable and soldered the 2 cables to speaker cables and ran the speaker cables to the lounge, and then used my EEEPC to control my PC via WIFi.

As i understand when outputting the signal it will be transferred in HD (720p/1080p) right ? say your tv(standard def) has component in (480p) , will the tv automatically down convert the signal ?

You will have to set what resolution you want it to output
