Actually it was a bit worse scenario than I first described. The HP computer did not have a VGA port, or a DVI port, or a HDMI port or a Display port. The TV only had RCA connections and an S-Video port.
Thru the use of proper adapters I now have the TV as a big monitor and/or stream movies to it via HDMI with a 42" HD Screen for about $60.00 worth of hardware.
I could have spent hundreds of dollars on the adapters, but buying via Newegg, Walmart, Amazon and searching carefully, the three adapters, the RCA cables, and the HDMI cable for around $60.00 was the total cost.
I could have also spent hundreds on a new TV and or a computer as some suggested. Thanks but no thanks.
