PC to TV

[Luf]

Hey guys, sorry if this is an obvious or an already answered question, but what is the cable called to connect your PC/Laptop to your tv so you can watch dvds (or even use it as your moniter). And what slot does use to plug into your pc/laptop.


Thanks guys!

DVI (digital out) if its a leka LCD or plasma and your card has a DVI out port. looks like this : http://www.zpluscable.com/images/products/cmd1889-dvi-end.jpg

most video cards support s-video or rca's.
some cards even come with converters for older tv's that dont support s-video
