How can I hook this computer to this tv?

[bassballboy]

I just put together my gf's computer and am wanting to be able to hook it to her old TV so she can use it for netflix streaming.

This is the mobo (MSI 785GTM-E45):

The TV is a tube TV that does do 480P, it has composite in, component, and S-video.


Is there any way to hook it up?

If the motherboard didn't come with some sort of video adapter, then you'll have to find one and buy it.

what kind of video adatper?...

For the best video quality (within the limits of your onboard GPU), you need a DVI to component video adapter.

With the TV that you have, this option is the best.

$2.50? Awesome.

Only question is, what about audio? Will it carry audio over DVI?....

No it won't. DVI is for digital video only.

You'll need a separate adapter for audio. A quick search on Google/Bing (or even Amazon) would point you in the right direction.
