Connect PC to a TV? (lemmy.world)

A few months back with the help of the "other sites" PCMR, I built my son a PC. He doesn't like sitting at his desk though, and wants to turn it into a Lego diorama. We talked about moving his monitor elsewhere when his mom asked if it could hook up to the TV.

I was going to work on moving it tonight and testing it out but I was curious if there was anything special I needed to do first.

Its a Windows 10 PC, here are portions of the DXDIAG

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 19045) (19041.vb_release.191206-1406) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. System Model: MS-7C95 BIOS: 2.C0 (type: UEFI) Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor (12 CPUs), ~3.5GHz Memory: 32768MB RAM Available OS Memory: 32694MB RAM Page File: 15361MB used, 22197MB available

Card name: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Chip type: AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x73DF)

I just want to make sure I don't need anything else for this to work right. With the big sales hitting tomorrow I am going to grab my son a wireless KB and Mouse, and anything else you all recommend.

Thank you for your time.

Using a TV is no different than using a monitor's HDMI connection. TV's do not have a DisplayPort connection so you will have to have either a HDMI cable for the 6750 XT or a DisplayPort to HDMI cable to plug PC into TV.

As long as one end of the video cable connection is a male HDMI it will work with TV, assuming no physical damage to any connectors.
