    Does your Pc have any of the following ouputs:

    If you don't know, just post a pic of the back/side of the pc where you can plug things into.
    Some of those all in one pc's don't have an output for video, which if your pc hasn't got one then you won't be able to just run a wire from the pc to the tv.

    Looked up specs and do not see any video out connectors, eg hdmi, dvi, VGA, Svideo, etc...

    Can you do a visual to see what connectors it has other than USB and Network.

    Yeah, saw a quick video review and there were no video out ports of any kind.
    Might be a non-runner OP

    thanks for all the replies guys.
    my pc has 6 usb ports, an ethernet port, an sd card port. It also has a TV tuner port, which is more like a power cable entry than a port.

    If it doesnt have the correct port is there some sort of adapter i can use or is it just not possible?

    As it only has Intel integrated graphics, which can only support a single monitor perhaps it doesn't include a video out in which case you are bang out of luck.

    I assume you want to watch video on your TV, if so do not use a USB video adapter! They are no good as the have very low frame rate and are really only designed to display slide shows on a projector, not for watching video or anything more than email/word-processing.

    You could get a cheap network ready media player, or even one without networking abilities that just worked off a USB storage device.

    If it's network ready you can just hook it up to your network and give it access to your video folder, if it's not you can copy your video files to a USB or SD card and play the files off that.
