I got a 32" Samsung HD TV,
I got a nice computer,

What do I need to make that computer run on the Samsung TV? so I can move the shit heap of a computer downstairs, sick of having it in my bedroom. I'd put the monitor downstairs but i'd rather have it on the 32" if I can..

Does the graphics card have a DVI out?

DVI to HDMI lead if it does.

Does the telly have a VGA port?

regular monitor VGA to VGA cable.

Use DVI to HDMI though if you can.

DVI to HDMI would be better quality though.

Tis wikid, I just need to get a HDMI lead instead now, picture colour is a bit dull but I think the HDMI lead will fix that.
