Been using a 32inch Walmart special for over 10 years now. Plug in and go baby! I don't have 4k but it does what I need.

Great and timely video for me. Was trying to do this yesterday. Didnt realize my TV was such an awesome monitor. Thanks for the short and easy to understand video.

I do have a video request. I have been interested in buying parts and building a PC. Can you make a video related to this?

[bandido]

I have a TV and my PC with both HDMI inputs and is working fine, I just need to find the way to turn on and off the TV (monitor) without using the TV remote.

[Nicho-rfie]

How about some input related to if your screen just doesn't magically display

[homeimprover]

what monitor are you using? I am looking for a good work-from home monitor that doubles as a TV

So my pc is older. It only has a few connections in the back. It does have a 15 pin FEMALE blue input with a monitor illustration by it. It has NO hdmi hookups, but many USB ports. My tv also has a black RGB connector, but it is FEMALE as well, also 15 pin. Am I gust going to have to piece it together with cables and connections? Please help if u can. Thanks, man!

So I’m new to all this dvi hdmi and I don’t know how to connect my tv to my pc

[shaleniavanorsdale]

you have a video of using a tower with a tv monitor along with a keyboard and mouse??

[richardalvarado-ikbr]

How can you set up a wireless mouse and keyboard to this or can you?
Should you get a multi port USB connection for this if need be?

I have tried all three using their HDMI numbers. but nothing... and ideas, thnx in advance... (edited)... it is Not the cable traded with one that works.
