How Do I Put a Computer Display on an LCD TV?
Putting a computer display up on an LCD TV is intuitive, given the fact that the majority of PC monitors in use today are also LCD displays. Connecting the PC to an LCD is a matter of utilizing the dual display feature found on the vast majority of modern PCs. In so doing, presentations, videos and gaming applications can be sent to a potentially larger display, centering a home theater or conference environment.
