Connecting PC to TV

So I thought about using my PC for multimedia purposes. I added some Ram

Then I opened a thread asking for some help regarding the matter


Now I know what to do but I dont know exacly how..


I found out there is no hdmi port in my pc. I tried using VGA cable but the quality was not as good.

What other alternatives do I have that are cheap and effective? I do not have alot of cash.


So what type of adapters do I need to play 1080p videos from my old Dell Inspiron 530 with a VGA on my TV?

What type of adapters will I need?? There are several types and I found a unique vga cable that comes with audio too

What should I do 🙁

You've hit a wall, and without spending money you're not going to get any better.
Like they said in your other thread, you'll have to get a card with HDMI. (assuming your TV has HDMI inputs)
 
get an inexpensive vid card. Like a hd5450. can be had new for about $20 after rebate or about $26 no rebate
 
Like mentioned, the only way you can do what you want is by getting a video card with an HDMI output. Look in the FS forum, or start a thread there and ask for a cheap card with that feature.

I assume by your other thread that your tv has hdmi inputs, so no need to consider DVI or adapters unless you absolutely cannot find an hdmi card.
