goheels681 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I was thinking about how my video card (Stock from Dell) has a TV Out in the form of an S-Video port. I want to hook it to my TV for the hell of it, but I don't know what cable I need. The plugs are as such: From this Yes, thank you, I know it's disgusting. To this I have the feeling it can't be done, but I'd like to know before I totally give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_INk Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 radio shack has s-vid to rca adapters (if that's what you really want to do) you can also get an 1/8" stereo plug to red/white stereo plugs (also get an adapter to sum to mono for your tv) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goheels681 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 I don't need sound, I've got speakers already. I just want to be able to use the TV as a 2nd "monitor" of sorts, so I can play videos on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goheels681 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Can anyone point out the cable I need to be looking for? I can't seem to find anything that'd work on the Radioshack site or anywhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shihchiun Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Can anyone point out the cable I need to be looking for? I can't seem to find anything that'd work on the Radioshack site or anywhere else Here's another site. Radioshack does have one, except you have to go pick it up yourself and it costs $40. There are also adapters like this, which would allow you to use any RCA cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
