There are some wireless VGA senders (they use them with video projectors sometimes) but they are quite epxensive at the moment as they are not that popualr yet.\n\nAs for using a TV as a slave moinitor, yes no reason why not at all. You will have to set the resolution perhaps al ittle lwoer than you might use if you are used to a high-res large monitor. Most Tv's do not handle resolution nearly as high as a dedicated moniter.

First your TV must have A/V (audio video) input.  The red and white  plugs are normally used for the audio.\nIf your computer has an audio out/speaker out with this type of \nplug  then simply connect the two and set the TV to the A/V input\nThe computer's audio will play on the TV. \n\nIf your TV only has an antenna input then you will need some type of conveter an old VRC works great.  Hook up the wires from the computer to the audio input of the VCR and take the antenna out to the TV. (You will need an RF cable - one probably came with the VCR)   Set the TV on the VCR's output channel normally 3 or 4 and the VCR's input to A/V.

You need to have a tv tuner card in your computer.  You can buy them at places like Best Buy, CompUSA, etc. It doesn't come standard on computers, unless you have a media center edition that comes with it.

yes you can...what you need is a video card with "video in" or a tv-capture card.\n\nhere is a site that offers them and tutorials on how to do it\n\nhttp://www.videoguys.com/vidcap.htm

I think, and I'm not absolutely sure, an HD TV monitor can also be hooked up and used as a computer monitor. An HD Ready TV is one that is like a regular TV but is able to be hooked up to HD cable service. I'm not 100% sure about the last one, but I do knwo that the monitors can be used as both a TV and a computer monitor.

you could actually use the cable, you can also buy a cable tester, where you plug both ends in, run the test and some status LED's will give you the results\n\nhttp://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=45778&doy=6m4&C=SEO&U=Template

Try to find a a TV tuner card that would be compatible with a laptop. There are many available for desktops, but there might be a way to convert one so it can be used on a laptop.

Is there a setting on the monitor to tell it to use the  S-video input rather than the regular computer video input?

The cost of what your trying to do is not worth it, the easy way to do what you want is buy a USB TV  converter, about $45 or even cheaper, install it, then plug your video cable RCA jack on the converter,run the TV scan with your game console plugged in and you should have the screen on your laptop and just set it for full screen, or better yet use your TV and or VCR.... But if you do what i said you can also use your VCR to your laptop for converting VCR movies on to DVD's... Cool

First, your computer must have been built to be able to be a TV receiver.  My computer is only two years old but cannot be a receiver.  If your comp can get TV, you will need to buy a special part, any computer shop will be able to help you on that.  Good luck

you need a tv tuner card, if you dont have one install one or you can get an external card that allows you to have the computer recieve satellite signal.   heres a good link on the explanation of the external tv tuner:  http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/external-pc-tv-theor/index.html
