In recent years, television viewers have been regularly lured away from the small screen to their home computer monitors.

But video sites such as YouTube could be best enjoyed from a comfortable sofa rather than hunched over a computer.

The option to kick back and let the net come to the TV screen has been made possible by a range of devices from handheld games consoles using wi-fi to mobile phones.

Now a couple of TV manufacturers have built web functionality into some of their new TV sets - with an ethernet cable or wi-fi dongle replacing the more conventional aerial.

I also want something like this, there's a s-video socket in my tv set, which method is best for connecting my pc to the TV set.
I have heard of some wires, but is this safe to use these wires, will it harm my pc or the tv set?

U Can use VGA to PAL Converters available in the market. Its safe too.

These VGA to PAL converters are quite expensive, some internet sites are quoting them around Rs. 2000-3000. I expected a little less than this, probably below Rs. 1000.

That's quite expensive to get the tv screen experience. Do these really cost that much?

I saw the cost here:
