my lcd hdtv has only one hdmi input port which is in use for the digital cable, how do I hook up a Blue Ray player that requires a hdmi cable since the only hdmi port on the tv is in use?

I have the other cables but none of them plug into my mac, any help?

We just bought a new TV with tons of places to plug thing in but our playstation and DVD player all have the red white and yellow plugs. There is only one place to plug these in. If we plug the playstation into any of ther other spots, we don’t get any color. Is there a conversion kit for this? Thanks!

im about to buy an lg hdtv with 4 hdmi inputs, a ps3 (mainly for blu ray), and also about to order cable and get a box. Also, im getting a home theater system. How do I hook all of these up together? Do I run everything throught my receiver? and how many hdmi inputs should a reciever have to do all of this?

We are looking into getting an LCD/HDTV, but were wondering if there is anything special needed to hook up our regular stuff – Playstation 2, DVD player, etc….or are they just like a regular television?

I just bought a LG LCD 42″ HDTV. It has a PC Input, but I am unsure of what type of cord/wire i need to purchase to hook it up to my Dell Desktop computer (with USB ports, etc.)… any help is appreciated! I want to be able to watch my netflix movies on my TV instead of on my 15 inch monitor… thanks

I just bought an Insignia 47″ 1080p LCD HDTV and a Samsung 800W 5.1ch. Home theater system with blue ray player. I want to get the most out of my TV and system. Should I connect with a dvi connection, HDMI connection, or component video connection? Or is there anything else that would provide the best video and audio experience? thanks

i have an olevia lcd hdtv with hdmi, component, dvi, and vga inputs. my computer only has a vga output. do i just use vga to vga? or would convering it help? what about the sound? stereo mini jack??

I have a geforce ti4200 video card. I have my lcd monitor hooked up to the dvi output. Could I hook up my hdtv to the vga output at the same time? Does the video card send out a signal through both outputs or just the one that is in use?

I have a 19″ LCD Monitor, this one…

My video card is the ATI Radeon X1650 PRO 512MB AGP…
On the box it says that these are the external connections…
5-pin D-Shell (female) VGA output
DVI-I Output
TV-Out with S-Video Connector (TV-Out Version)
VIVO with S-Video Connector
HDTV Display Support
Anyways, in the box is a coord that could go into the classical keyboard/mouse slot, not the usb one, the one with like 7 pins. The wire then leads to 3 colored wires with holes in them, that my Wii yellow, red and white coords could fit into.
Not sure what all this mess is, but is it possible to hook my Wii up to my LCD Monitor?
