i want my computer to play movies through my tv set. I havent bought my tv yet but what exactly do i need?

I think i need an amplifier that has the converter so i can display my computer screen on the tv. Then its just a matter of adding speakers to the amp to get a cinema like affect?

can anyone recommend mean amp for less than 150quid? If i got the setup wrong please also let me know.

Most TV cards you can get for a PC have a composite video output, (sometimes they have an S-VHS connector instead)

The TV will have a composite input, plug it in there.

Use the PC's soundcard for 5.1 channels.

note - some LCD TV's have a PC VGA connector letting you jack straight in
