Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to connect my PC to a TV?
After previously owning a games console, I miss the `arcade look`
created by a television. My PC monitor is `too pure and clean` when it
comes to game graphics. Games like Doom look wierd on a monitor as you
can see every block on the screen. I want a fuzzy, unfocassed, blurry
picture when playing games, without violently bashing the monitor until
this effect is created. Vast ammounts of alcohol creates a fuzzy
picture, but it wears off after a while and gaming performance is
drastically reduced.
Is there any way that a cheap external TV modulator can be connected to
the output of my existing graphics card, a bit like the old Amiga 500
external TV modulator? Or can a special lead be `rigged` to allow me to
use a TV.
I've got very little money left, so please no bright ideas about getting
a new 200 quid graphics card with built in TV tuners or anything like
that.
