PC On My TV

Hello there. I just want to say I spent about 45 minutes loking for a "how to" guide. But I can't find one . I have a 6600GT and want to hook it up to a 42" tv. I just have a few questions though.

1: Is it going to drop my frame rates if I were to play a game.

2: Can I hook up my TV and only my TV ( no second monitor needed )

3: How do I go around doing this task?

Again, I would really appreciatte some help on this.

As for #1, your FPS should not be affected, or a drop would not noticeably affect game play, unless you are in a contest for the highest FPS.

As for #2, generally, yes, you can connect only your TV. Provided, it is a VESA compliant unit. You haven't told us much about your 42" set. Some CRT TVs won't work connected to a PC. However, if your set is a recently manufactured 42" LCD set, then it should work just fine.

As for #3, your typical LCD wide screen TV is technically the same as a LCD PC monitor. Most LCD TV have at least a DVI and a VGA connector, just like LCD PC monitors. Some LCD TV have a HDMI connection, but that should not present any problems as there are DVI-to-HDMI adpaters and cables to do the job.

Have fun.
