Video/Audio To TV From Computer

Hi,

Think this is right forum to post this thread, if not please move it.

I am getting a Samsung 40" UE40H6400 TV, and I want to connect it to my computer, so that I can play videos on it etc.

I currently have a Palit GTX 760 2GB graphics card and was wondering if I used a DisplayPort to HDMI cable, would I also need a 3.5mm audio cable from the computer to the TV or will the DisplayPort to HDMI cable transmit the sound as well as the video?

I don't have a separate sound card, motherboard is a ASUS Sabertooth 990FX.

Thanks.

I think you need a specific adapter from DisplayPort to HDMI. With this is should be possible!

So if I used something like this, it should transmit the audio and video to the TV?

The card doesn't have a HDMI out? The Palit website suggests it does.

My current TV (which is a monitor with a TV Tuner; Samsung 2333HD) I want to utilise as a second monitor, so was planning on using the HDMI for that. But I guess I could use the DisplayPort to HDMI on that one, because I don't want audio.

So if I was to use HDMI to the TV, it will transmit the audio as well?

Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but audio isn't going over HDMI to my TV (I've extended my desktop).

Also the old TV isn't showing on the computer either. Using HDMI to DisplayPort cable.
