Connecting PC to CRT TV

[mohit9206]

I have a PC that i need to connect to my TV so what are my options?
Video card in the PC is Sapphire 7750 and i need to connect it to either
1. 21" CRT SDTV with only composite connection available.
2. 24" WXGA Sony 24P412B TV with HDMI connection and component composite hybrid connection available.
What cables would i need in either case? Also my motherboard model is gigabyte h61m-ds2 and CPU is intel g630.Thanks.

Okay FORGET the composite connections and all that. Just a simple HDMI to HDMI is all you need to do. Middle slot on the GPU, to the Sony, just like if it was your BluRay or Cable TV Receiver. SImple.

Thanks that was simple.Although just out of curiosity is there no way to connect to a crt tv with composite connection?

1) you would need a middle component converter to take the outputs (DVI, HDMI or VGA) and the other end of the converter would the be the RCA (composite)
2) WHY? RCA is very limited informational bandwidth (think VCR tapes) as compared to the HIGH end DVI or HDMI which provides the HiDef (HD) signal in order to see 720P, 1080P, etc. (think BluRay).
3) Why would you want a CRT, as the cathodes will suddenly burn out, they don't sell replacement parts, they aren't usable realistically (no HDMI connections which is universal now), provide very poor quality image, and most of all take up alot of space as compared to any 'cheap' LCD you can get as big or BIGGER in size http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1403033/
