Can i add like a special card to my desktop for HD?

I dont have a laptop and I know that would be easy but all I have is my desktop and it is like the bottom of the line. I was wondering if there is a special card or something I could get to hook my new TV up to desktop. My Tv dose not have the monitor plug in or whatever it is, i have already looked. It does have like 4 hdmi and 2 component hook ups and an S- Video and digital audio hook up. Any ideas what I could do?|||Get a cheap, new graphics card (so it can run from your present power supply unit) that has a HDMI connector, and use a HDMI cable to connect your PC and TV together. That'll be fine if you want browse the internet and listen to music and word process and watch films and stuff. No intensive games or anything, though.



Try newegg if you're in the US:

The graphics card i linked you to is PCIe x16; any computer made in the last couple of years should have a PCIe x16 slot, though just to make sure, check this picture http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co… to see if your motherboard has a slot like that on it.|||there are video cards that have a video output to hook it up to a tv. There are a few different type of video card slots, so you would need to find out what type of slot your computer has. there are AGPX4, AGPx8, PCI, PCI Express X1, PCI Express x16 and PCI Express 2.0 x16.
