This article will explain how to connect your PC to a Big Screen TV, and experience the ultimate in HD picture and HD sound, using the existing PC outputs. 

The set up is actually very simple, and will most likely only require an additional minimal purchase of an hdmi cable to connect the PC to the big screen.  The HDMI (High Definition Modular Interface) cable will carry both HD sound and picture to your Big Screen TV.

Before you begin, you will need to verify that the Motherboard on your PC has an outlet to plug in a second display.  Most of the newer motherboards contain both VGA and HDMI outputs on the same board.  You will also need to verify that your Big Screen TV has an hdmi input.

To complete the installation, first install (1) end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI output on the back of the PC.  Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI Input on the big screen TV.  Then, configure your PC for using dual monitors.  To configure your PC using the MS -Vista OS, Click on the  Vista Start Logo, Click on Control Panel.  Click on Personalization, Click on Adjust screen resolution.  You should now see the Display Settings window with the existing computer monitor (labeled 1), and a second smaller monitor(labeled 2).  Located immediately below the monitor icons, you will see the drop-down selector box with both monitors listed.  By default the number (2) monitor will be the Big Screen TV.  Immediately below the selector, check the (2) boxes, This is my main monitor, and extend the desktop on to this monitor. Click OK and Close the window.

Now for an example, resize your I.E.  browser window, so it is about half the size of your computer screen.  Grab the top of the browser window, and drag it over to the other monitor.  After dragging the window, you should now see the I.E. browser window open on your other screen(Big Screen TV).

Now the fun part!   Go to one the new free movie sites like,  HULU, and now you can watch the show on your Big Screen TV courtesy of your PC.
