HDMI connection

Hi everyone. I brought a Inspiron 560 from The Dell Outlet. It has a hdmi connection in the back of it. Can I buy a cable to attach it to my sd tv? My tv has an s-video port; composite ports and component ports. If it is impossible, can someone give me examples of graphics cards that I can install inside the computer. The pc has the following slots:

PCI one 124-pin connector

PCI Express x1 two 36-pin connectors

PCI Express x16 one 164-pin connector

Any help will be appreciated. mary

 

Most modern GPU's and TV's come with VGA connections on them or DVI in the GPU's case.

Check your TV for something like this,

Hi Burrell. My tv is a dinosaur. It doesn't have the vg- in port. Is there a cable that I can buy that will stream videos from my pc to the tv. The pc has a hdmi port and my tv has composite, component, and s-video ports. any help will be appreciated. mary

 

Component will give you good quality.

As for a cable I don't think it exits. Not to mention they could have bad signal and give you horrible quality unless your video card and TV support it 100%

I think it would be cheaper to buy a new video card that supports output component video like this one instead of buying a converter. OnBoard video isn't great for streaming but that depends on if it's HD or not.

Is your tv an HD tv? What size is it?
