Wish I knew more about computer video stuff
I wish I knew more about computer video stuff. My son bought himself a big-screen LCD television when he found one at a great pre-Christmas price. It included a PlayStation 3 and he’s trying to hook his computer up to use it off the LCD big-screen, too.I don’t understand the problems he’s having, but it has something to do with his laptop computer having only a video chip set, not a true video card — which, according to his understanding, he needs if he is to hook the computer up properly to the television. Or maybe it has something to do with the way the PlayStation fits into the mix.
Whatever. He’s looked at getting a desktop computer, but according to what he’s read or seen somewhere, he’s going to have to pay a ton of money for a desktop computer and video card that’ll do whatever he wants to do.
If I knew more about video cards, maybe I could help him figure it out, I dunno.
My question for those of you reading this isn’t for specific advice. It’s this: Have you received an electronic or other high-tech gadget for Christmas that you don’t understand well enough to use properly, or hook up somewhere, or whatever? Is that part of the so-called electronics revolution we’re seeing in our world??
Bah. Humbug, I say.
