jamaicaman Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thought #1: Can you hook a tv up to a computer istead of using a monitor? it would be bigger that way, and probably make for better gaming.Thought #2: Can you hook a game system (XBox, Gamecube, PS2) to computer and play it? the Computer has 3 holes like the ones on the back of my TV that i use to hook them up (the red,white,yellow ones).Thank You-Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 1. The resolution on the TV would suck too much and you couldn't read words and games ain't that great lookin either.2. I don't think so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba Bob Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 So wait, you want to play your video games on your monitor, but play you computer games on your TV?Heh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamaicaman Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 eh, well , i was just think of the computer games on tv for no reason, but the thing for console games on monitor, because we have one tv, and 4 systems. but that kinda doesnt matter anymore since i just got a tv from goodwill for 5 dollars. thanks honda boy.-Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aluvus Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 1. Yes, but the low resolution of most TVs makes for some challenges.2. Only if the computer has a TV tuner or other device that can take video input. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamaicaman Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 how do i know if it does have a tv tuner? what does it look like?-Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 TV TUner is a card that has a TV cable hookup to plug a cable TV line in to watch tv. If you have some kind of A/V Input like the yellow cable then you may be able to hook it up. I doubt you have either. Unless it is a media center PC. the A/V jacks I think I've seen them on an HP before. I think it was a Media Center though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
