Can you hook up your computer to a tv??

It depends on your computer and your TV. If you have an HDTV or LCD TV they often have a VGA connection where you can plug your monitor in. If you are using an old CRT TV (the big heavy ones) then it gets more complicated. you will need to check if your computer has an S-Video or Composite connection. You will then need to see if your TV has a matching connection. If your computer has an S-Video connection (most laptops do), and your TV only has composite, you might be able to get an adapter. That's not a sure thing since sometimes when using an adapter you will only get black and white on your TV.

I recently got a dynex 32 in tv and I want to use it for my computer monitor. I am having a couple a problems though. I hook up the hdmi and the sound does not come from the tv but still from the computer, how do I fix that and when I have the computer screen on the tv it is so large that I can't read all the icons the taskbar or the widgets. I have tryed everything resolution possible and none help. I have an hp laptop windows vista ultimate. with an nvidia card with hdmi hookup(which I am using to hook up the tv and computer to.) and I also have an svideo card plug in I have more but those seem most relevent to what I need help on. all help is greatly appreciated thanks.

This depends on the hardware configuration of your computer. I connect my laptop to the television, but it has a S Video port to output the video in conjunction with the audio out.

mmm i think simple.. just use tv card. u can use internal tv card or external tv card.

You can simple do that. First you need Graphic card with TV-out. Then with that package comes a cable. With that cable you will connect your TV and your Graphic card. Doing that you have already connected your TV with your computer. There are few adjustments, but thats is piece of cake.
