Big Screen Mac Options

[ArolaMorre]

This isn't exactly a music question but I have a g4 PowerBook and Im having trouble dealing with most sequencers on the small screen. I cant afford the flash wide screen Apple displays so was wondering if i could hook my powerbook up to my tv... ?

My DVD player has a video in socket (which is yellow by the way) which allows me to plug my digital camera in to my DVD player and see the photos/movies etc on my big TV... Is there some sort of adapter or lead that will let me plug my PB in to my TV?

I think you misunderstand him red. He wants to add the TV as a second monitor, without spending any more money. Not to mention, depending on the TV, he may be able to get an increase in screen real estate (many TVs will go up to 1920 x 1080p resolution). Angryman, it depends on the TV, and the PB. If the PB is fairly new, it has a DVI and an S-Video connection (if its a 15" or 17"), or a mini-DVI connection for the 12". Do NOT confuse the mini-DVI with the regular DVI. For the mini-DVI, you can get an adapter from Apple that will change it to VGA, DVI, S-Video, or analog. For the 15" or 17", try to use DVI or S-Video, but if not, Apple carries DVI to anything adapters as well. Basically, check the Apple store, you guys have an awesome one there in London on Regent Street near Oxford Circus. Or, check their online store: http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore
