Got a new Bfg Nvidia Geforce 6200 OCabout a month ago, saw that it had an S-Video port and Ive been planning to hook it up to the Tv some day, so I want to be sure about everything instead of winging it.
First of all, can I use the TV as my primary monitor, or do I also have to hook up my computer monitor?
Do I just hook it up to the Tv as if it were the monitor and turn the computer on?

My TV



None.

One of the video mode things should be the the computer input. Look for that.

You don't need the monitor at all, but you should just use it. I am pretty sure that the computer doesn't really recognize the television as a monitor? My tv may not be the same as yours function-wise.

Quick question, Do computer games such as counter-strike source look good on non-HDTV's?



None.

Most comp moniters are worse quality than standerd tv's today. And if you're playing Counter Strike why would you even worry? xD

Lawls. Counter-Strike admittedly doesn't have great graphics, but it's still fun. Especially if you could play it on a FLAT SCREEN HD-TV... TV...!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! THE BLOOD-CURDLING ACTION ON A REALLY BIG SCREEN!!! (And blood-spilling.)

I said Counter-Strike: SOURCE, you guys probably thought i meant 1.6. Source's graphics are great.

It will probably be better than your computer monitor then.

I also want to try dual screening with 2 computer monitors. How does that work and what are the advantages of having two screens?

If you set it up right, it will be like an extended monitor. You can use both screens together. I am not 100% on this, but if you go to Control Panel > Display Settings > Settings you will see a check box that says "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor."

Please, flame on, but I don't live where you do. Base your judgement on location, not inteliect.

But on a more serious note. Who buys a TV today that isn't at least flat? I know the HDs and Plasma's are really all the rave currently, but at least flat, they aren't that expensive.

Now Computer moniters, some companies still try to sell the big ol' bulky type, and sometimes a flat panal with some pretty bad resolution.

Ever see a square monitor? They look retarded, yet thats all that seams to be sold out here.

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NudeRaider -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
