    Stream from All in One PC

    Hi Guys!
    I got a HP IQ520 All in One Touchsmart PC & was wondering if there is a way for me to stream the image to my 42" HDTV.
    I did it with my previous PC, but this one has not got a DVi input at the back.

    Is there any other way for me to stream the image so I can transfer my PC image to my tv?

    Hope someone can help!

    Looking at the manual you dont have much choice as far as i can see other then usb video cards but not sure if they support hd resolution , although some of the products offer VGa connection upto 2048 x 1024 resolution i am not sure if thats suitable for you.

    Check the below devices.
    Code:

    When you plug these in and install the hardware they will show as a graphic card in your HP system and whatever is connected to them should show in monitor display panel. Do more researching tough..

    Good luck.

        HP IQ520 doesnt have any DVI/DSub output connection on its own.

            Reading the product description it is what you need , however as you are going to connect this to a tv it will advisable to contact the manufacturer/supplier to make sure it does also support hdtv/LCD or plasma screens.

              I know what you mean, but shouldn't all the latest TVs be compatible to be a PC screen these days?

                  It is just to make sure as the drivers that comes with the usb video adapter should also support or at least include the support for the tvs etc and should know how to drive them once any compatible tv is connected.

                  what do you want to stream?
                  He wants to stream to his HDTV which will be more like a second monitor etc.

                    Ryt Guys!
                    I've done some research & been asking a few question.
                    But now I am stuck,AGAIN!

                    The USB Graphics Adapter on Ebay all support a max of 1680x1050 resolution and thats what my PC is.
                    But my TV is Full HD 1080p.

                    Will the Graphics Adapter work once I plug it into the TV through a DVi to HDMI Cable?

                      Tv will probably try to upscale the picture to fit the screen. Thats how it is on my setup tough.
