Hi,
I am new here i wanted to know....

Can hook it up to a regular tv so you can display it on the moniter and tv at the same time.
And if so what kind of cord does it come with? do you need to buy an add on or something? Thanks

wellif its like the agp version I have then it has a "tv out" S-video connector. You use an S-video cable to send signal to TV that has an S-video input or get an S-video to RCA adapter and hook it up that way... a link that can explain better than I...

I am talking about the pci one but for yours or anyone that has one did the cable that came with the card work with the tv or did you have to buy a new cable and if so which one? Thanks!

[JPMiller]

depends on the TV...does yours have a S-video connection?
mine came with one and MOST cards with TV out connectors.
if you have no S-video connector on your TV then you will need an RCA to S-video adapter

Do you know where the S-Video connection would be located and what is like? Thanks~!

Round socket-with bunch of pin holes. RCA is slightly smaller around-protrudes outwardly and has one hole in center. Most all video cards with tv out come with a rca to s-video adaptor and a 5' s-video cord...if the card features tv out. I havent got one yet without the free $10 adaptor and cord.

My 5200 AGP came with an adapter from S-video to RCA, these are also called rf-modulator and last time I checked at BestBuy and stuff they were like 20+ dollars. But the ones at BestBuy that convert s-video to RCA are more then just a small cord.
