What Cable Do I Need To Use A 32 Inch Lcd Tv As A Monitor For My Laptop? Is This Even Possible?

I have the Sharp LC32AX5M LCD TV (LC32AX5M)
Thanks in advance!

  1. assuming both have a DVI connections this will work just fine. if so you will need a DVI cable. radio shack, walmart, etc. if you have a fairly new laptop and it has a decent video card it should have the DVI connection. it looks like the normal VGA connection, just different in size. Same with the LCD TV.

  2. A quick search shows that this set supports HDMI or COMPONENT video, but not DVI or VGA. If your laptop supports DVI output, you can get a DVI to HDMI cable which should work. This would give you the best results. A second option is to use a VGA to COMPONENT conversion cable. This will work as well, and is more likely to be compatible with both the set and the PC, but will not give as good a signal as the DVI to HDMI option.

  3. It is very possible and you need an RGB (aka VGA) cable with Male DB-15′s on each end . You can pick one up cheaply at any Radio Shack.

  4. A S-VIDEO Cable if your LCD TV and Your LAPTOP have an svideo input
