Title: So how can I get an AV port or whatever on my PC?
Post by: Cookie on January 30, 2008, 09:36:11 AM
So I have been looking at some HP PCs and I notice they have AV ports (I think thats what their called they are the red, yellow, and white ports on the back of a TV) on them. Now I was wondering if I can get somthing like that for my current PC, so I could hook up a Game system to my PC. So do they have this in external form like have it go through USB? Or is it an internal thing I could put into my PC. Also can you get somthing like that for a Mac?

I'm not sure but you have plenty of options if that doesn't work out.

I think those are outputs to a TV not inputs as you assume.

They probably have both types of ports on them.

Also, get a GameBridge. I need to buy one for myself, because I'm going to start reviewing games soon. They're only about $20 on Amazon or eBay. It's an A/V to USB connector. I've heard that the only thing wrong is that the the sounds delayed a bit.

Alright thanks thats exactly what I am looking for.

Meh I  don't play with sound on my games so doesn't really matter to me.

The Dazzle has much better reviews but check both out. If you don't care about sound then go ahead with the other one. The Dazzle is like $60 at best buy.
