My roomate is attempting to hook his hdtv up to his pc as a secondary monitor. He currently has it hooked up via svideo, but its pretty low quality, so im trying to figure out the best alternative... besides svideo, the following connections are available:
- PC videocard has a vga and a dvi out
- HDTV has component and hdmi in
I originally thought that we could easily get a vga->component connector since its all analog, but as ive done more research ive found that the vga is in RGBhv format and the tv will be expecting YPbPr in thru component, so this won't work. (is this correct?)
The other option we're considering is a dvi to hdmi cable. Is this the only option to go now without investing in an expensive transcoder?
Just need some clarification or affirmation
