Using old TV as second monitor.

[Smokey Deza]

I have an old TV Panasonic VIERA Plasma TV TH-50PV30A which I'm looking use as a second monitor and stream to from my PC.

Problem is I'm not sure what connections I need or whether it'll even work.

I have a R9 380X and all the connections are HDMI or DVI etc. On my TV I have S-Video, Scart and that VGA serial port at the front.

I think the resolution of the TV is 860 by whatever the last range is.

So what adapters would I need to stream video/games onto my TV including sound etc.

Thanks.

That TV looks pretty old but assuming your card has a DVI-I (the one with 4 extra pins to support analogue connections) port then you can connect using a DVI to VGA adaptor/cable for the video output.

For sound then a cable that matches audio in on the TV and the audio out on your pc. (Possibly an RCA to 3.5mm cable?)
