I would like to make a TV the ‘secondary monitor’ instead of the PC monitor (which works fine). Device Manager says that the Display Adapter is RADEON 7000 / RADEON VE Family. I have connected the secondary monitor socket on the video card via a Dick Smith PCtoTV converter to the TV’s RCA Video input socket without success. I’ve tried another product, almost twice the cost with the same negative result. What might be lacking (in the TV or the PC) ?
I connected that same TV input video socket via the Dick Smith converter from a laptop, and the result was an ‘image’ which drifted diagonally, but of which I could see only a border. When that laptop was connected via a cable from its S-video sicket to the same TV input video socket, a b/w image of ONLY the desktop appeared, without shortcuts or open programs.
I’ve added the information about the laptop just in case it is useful, and more importantly, because it gave the beginnings of success which attempts with the PC failed to achieve.
