The cable that it really annoying me is:

D-Sub, PC IN and VGA --- Are they all the same?

Thanks

D-Sub is a common type of connector, it is used for Analogue monitor connections among other things.

VGA stands for Video Graphics Array and is used quite loosely. The 15 pin D-Sub connector and cable used for Analogue monitors connections is often called a VGA cable, while the 640x480 resolution is also called VGA.

PC IN simply means PC Input. Generally the terminology is used for the ports found on Televisions which a computer can be hooked up to.

So, they are all similar but not exactly the same.

I have bought a TV screen for Christmas. I havn't opening it yet but on the box it says: D-Sub and on the website it says PC In!?!

HELP!

Or, should I just wait and when I open it take a picture and show you guys so you can tell me??

Thanks

If it says that, then you will be able to plug your computer into it and use the TV as a PC monitor.

Ok, thank you!

One last question!

What type of cable should I buy then?

My PC is DVI out. My TV is ??? in?

Thanks again!

Your going to need a DVI to VGA converter, and a VGA cable. Plug the converter into your DVI port, and then the VGA cable will plug into the converter and the TV.

Your TV will have a VGA connector on.

Thank you very very very much!

Wouldn't it just be easier just to buy a DVI to VGA Cable?

Thanks again!
