Did you know that most of the newer flat screen LCD TVs released on the market today support PC input? More people every day are beginning to truly utilize the full effectiveness of their 12 Volt TV by plugging it into their computers and operating it as a monitor. By using your 12 Volt TV as a computer monitor, you will be able to watch an online movie, show the family a slideshow, and best of all save a lot of space. Â Even if you already have a working computer and monitor, you can still use your 12 volt TV as a second monitor (Dual View). Perhaps you have two important programs that need to run simultaneously or need the ability to browse two websites at once. In any case, the ability to use your ac/dc television as a second monitor will surely will come in handy.
In order to plug your television into your computer you must first establish what kind of connection is supported by your devices. After that you must confirm you have the proper cord and simply plug it in. To better understand this process you must first learn the three main types of computer-to-monitor connections.
Digital Video Interface (DVI) – This is the highest quality connection you can make between these devices because it uses the most recent digital technology including clock functionality and supreme signal eminence. Not many of the older televisions are able to support this type of connection so please check your TV to make sure.
Video Graphics Array (VGA) – This 15 pin analog computer connection became standard for connecting PC’s to monitors after its invention by IBM. This is the most common connection type. Most computer and monitors will support the Video Graphics Array input.
Separate Video (S-Video) – This carries video feed however does not carry any audio signal on the same cable.
Â
Best and most current connection is DVI, followed by VGA. The least desirable connection is the S-Video connection. Use the better quality or newer monitor with the DVI Port. This connection is only supported by the newer monitors so make sure to check to see if your 12 volt television has one. Use the older monitor the original on board VGA port. The technology is a little older but there should not be much difference in features and quality. To plug it in just fit the VGA Cable to the VGA Port and tighten the thumbscrews for until they are secure. Make sure that your monitors are on before is on so it has time to recognize the monitors and optimize settings for performance.
Â
 After you have done this please make sure you have the most updated drivers installed on your computer. This will ensure the highest quality connection. Refer to your manufacturer for more details. When you have done this continue to the relevant section and follow those steps. This checklist was based on the Naxa NX-563.
