How To Use your TV as a Second Monitor for your Computer ?

Step1: Setting resolution same: Make sure that your TV and computer must be on the same display graphic resolution. It will be better to maximize the resolution so that the images or videos will do not appear pixilated or of  poor quality. Usually, TVs have lower

resolution than computer it is good to go with a high resolution TV set. Otherwise lower the resolution of your computer.

Step2: Connect the computer and television with like connectors: Most computers are equipped with S-video output. Look at the back your TV there is also an S-video connector. Plug the one end of the S-video cable into the computer and another one into the TV.

Step3: Switch on the devices: When connected properly switch on the computer as well as the TV. Be sure about the proper and tight connection.

Step4: Set the TV video setting proper: For instance, if you connected the cable end to the Video 1 input port, then set your TV to display video 1. As your PC boots up, it will detect the additional display and automatically configure itself according to the secondary display device. Hence, whatever your computer monitor displays, the TV will start displaying the same content like a mirror image.

Step5: Connect home theatre or any sound system: S-Video connection from the computer does not have any sound signal as a result the TV set will only display the graphics and do not produce any sound. Hence, you have to depend on sound of the computer speakers. Or you can use the sound card ports found on the back of the computer system to connect a home theatre system.
