How do you hook up cable tv to your desktop computer?
It really depends on the type of multimedia inputs you have on your computer. You could have what's known as a `composite' input or a separate video card made especially for working with video or antenna connection types of inputs.
If it's a composite video input, other than matching the video output connector on the cable box, you'll also have to match the input jack on your computer. Then it's just a matter of running a video cable from the cable box video out to the computer's video in.
If it's a separate video card it may agin be the same setup for composite video, or you could also have a card with a TV tuner setup, in which case you could just run a coax cable from the RF out of the cable box to the RF in on your video card.
You'll also have to make sure that if you're using a composite input that you also make the proper audio connections for your sound connections and of course, having the software on the machine to make everything work properly.
MY computer uses an older ATI Radeon 8600 TV/FM tuner card and I have the ability to go either composite or RF. It's quite nice in that I can record local stations from an antenna feed (and yes, I know I'll have to get an adapter box for it when Feb. 17th. 2009 arrives) or from my satellite receiver using either the composite or RF outputs from the satellite receiver or cable box.
With the right software (and there's tons of free software on the internet) you should be able to transfer video from a VCR, DVD, satellite/cable box and off air, with the right card installed on your machine. And if you also have a DVD burner, you're in for a special treat.
Without knowing more, there's very little additional advice I can offer.
Press down the Fn key (near the ctrl key) tthen press F5 a small window will pop up now use arrow keys to increase or decrease brightness.

How can you fix the shade of your computer screen?
Push the Fn (Function) key which is at the bottom left of the keyboard next to the Ctrl (Control) key and then push the up or down arrow to change the screen brightness
What is the difference between thinkline computer and desktop PC?
Thinkline computers have absoulutely no hardware e.g hardrive... It is just a moniter connected to your server, running via ethernet cables. Your profile is saved to the server instead of desktop and (windows) runs through the werver also.
A Thin Client is a small device with minimal hardware and software meant to only connect to a terminal server via a network connection. When connected to a Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor, the thin client displays the interface, but the actual processing and running of software is done on a server in another location.
What is device instance id in computer hardware?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc238878.aspx
device instance ID: A system(your operating system)-supplied device identification string that uniquely identifies a device in the system. A device instance ID is persistent across system boots.
How many monitors does windows XP support?
The lowest resolution will be hidden on trying the resolution and only in advanced settings, we can find them but the next resolutions will also be hidden in this version of computers. It may not allow as low resolutions as these versions so increasing text sizes will be compensating and this is when the window will not be larger if the scrolling button may not exist and we will be using shortcuts by the tab keys rather
How does a 3-dimensional viewing device work?
3D computer graphics (in contrast to 2D computer graphics) are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images. Such images may be stored for viewing later or displayed in real-time.
3D computer graphics rely on many of the same algorithms as 2D computer vector graphics in the wire-frame model and 2D computer raster graphics in the final rendered display. In computer graphics software, the distinction between 2D and 3D is occasionally blurred; 2D applications may use 3D techniques to achieve effects such as lighting, and 3D may use 2D rendering techniques.
3D computer graphics are often referred to as 3D models. Apart from the rendered graphic, the model is contained within the graphical data file. However, there are differences. A 3D model is the mathematical representation of any three-dimensional object. A model is not technically a graphic until it is displayed. Due to 3D printing, 3D models are not confined to virtual space. A model can be displayed visually as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering, or used in non-graphical computer simulations and calculations.
Will there be touch screen TVs?
Yes, there are number of electronic manufacturers who launched the touch screen TVs. Samsung is one of the most trusted brand how also launched this advanced touch TVs at high quality level.
What are the two types of monitors of a computer?
Either - a CRT display (like a TV set) - or - an LCD display (like a mobile phone).
Where can one locate a service that provides for monitor disposal?
Most cities now have services that provide an environmental disposal for electronics such as computer monitors, cell phones and computers. To find one located in one's specific region it is best to contact the city or town hall. Best Buy also offers this service to the public.
Can lcd monitor display black white amber green or gray shades?
It's a simple response, but "Yes". Obviously it depends on the model, but as LCD tv's and monitors can reach 1080p resolution (or 2560x1600 @ 32bit) they produce pretty much everything on the colour wheel with the exception of perfect black. The weakness (already mostly overcome) of the LCD monitor is that it uses a lamp behind the liquid crystal and glass panes. A CRT monitor's blacks are a pixel that is actually OFF, as is the case with plasma. LCD's big struggle has been to match that perfect contrast, and most decent models do so now. As for white, the lamps used in high end LCD's produces some of the best and brightest whites around... it's the contrast with the black that has been the issue. I should add that it's not as though a good LCD TV or Monitor has blacks that look blue or horribly faded... this is a matter that is only an issue for serious technophiles (nothing wrong there) and a relative matter of quality in the high range of HD. It would seem that LCD has taken over Plasma, and will in turn be replaced by OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screens, an 11 inch version of which has been demonstrated. That of course, is another matter however. I hope this was helpful! S.D.
3 groups of hardware components?
Three groups are Input, Output and Processors. Here are a few examples:
INPUT
Microphone
Scanner
Webcam
OUTPUT
VGA
Printer
Speakers
Processors
CPU (central processing unit)
"D-sub" in an appriviation of D-subminiature which is a class of connector used in computers. The most common types are serial (DE-9) parallel (used for printers) and VGA (for computer monitors).

'Farfield Monitors' are Studio Reference Monitors directed toward the room, rather than to mix position.
These monitors are generally used for the 'fun' listening, where high dB ratings are required, and fine accoustics are generally not. (Though, given proper accoustic design and treatment, they can be useful even in the mix environment)
That being said, Farfields can be somewhat useful as an A / B scenario, or to simulate other environments. When monitoring with farfields, the dynamics of what you hear are different, and there is a larger spacial element present. They also usually introduce more low and mid frequency.
Generally these will show you a different dimension of the mix, as it would be in a larger environment, and will give the mix engineer a better stereo image than he may receive with nearfields.
Because farfields are not 'directed' or 'pointed' to a certain position, they are also useful for playback necessary for other areas of the room, where nearfields won't suffice.
And finally..... they just look good..... and they're loud

What are the Output devices of a wearable computer?
output is in the form of light,display or voice....
Your computer monitor doesnt come on when you turn on your computer?
There could be several reasons, here are a few: The monitor is broken or faulty
The cord from the monitor to the tower is faulty, or not properly connected
The power cord for the monitor is faulty, or not properly plugged in
The device driver might not be functioning properly
If the videocard is new and an integrated one was previously used, the previous one must be disabled through device manager.
**You can use Safe Mode with the monitor to see if the second 2 are the issue
How can you hook up Multiple Monitors to a computer with only one video slot?
I don't believe you can, I think you would have to have new video card installed. I know that Multiplex PC deals in Multiple Monitor Systems, from the Multiple Monitor Arrays to the computers themselves. Here is a link to their site.

What is the refresh rate for a Samsung led tv?
Samsung LED TV's typically have a refresh rate of 120 hertz. The refresh rate is considered a important factor of quality in high end electronic televisions.
F Explain the concept of 2 way set associative Cache memory with the help of an example?
Which memory locations can be cached by which cache locations
The replacement policy decides where in the cache a copy of a particular entry of main memory will go. If the replacement policy is free to choose any entry in the cache to hold the copy, the cache is called fully associative. At the other extreme, if each entry in main memory can go in just one place in the cache, the cache is direct mapped. Many caches implement a compromise in which each entry in main memory can go to any one of N places in the cache, and are described as N-way set associative. For example, the level-1 data cache in an AMD Athlon is 2-way set associative, which means that any particular location in main memory can be cached in either of 2 locations in the level-1 data cache. Associativity is a trade-off. If there are ten places the replacement policy can put a new cache entry, then when the cache is checked for a hit, all ten places must be searched. Checking more places takes more power, chip area, and potentially time. On the other hand, caches with more associativity suffer fewer misses (see conflict misses, below), so that the CPU spends less time servicing those misses. The rule of thumb is that doubling the associativity, from direct mapped to 2-way, or from 2-way to 4-way, has about the same effect on hit rate as doubling the cache size. Associativity increases beyond 4-way have much less effect on the hit rate, and are generally done for other reasons (see virtual aliasing, below). In order of increasing (worse) hit times and decreasing (better) miss rates, * direct mapped cache -- the best (fastest) hit times, and so the best tradeoff for "large" caches * 2-way set associative cache * 2-way skewed associative cache -- "the best tradeoff for .... caches whose sizes are in the range 4K-8K bytes" -- André Seznec[3] * 4-way set associative cache * fully associative cache -- the best (lowest) miss rates, and so the best tradeoff when the miss penalty is very high
How do you activate a computer monitor from your computer?
well if you mean to add a monitor it should be in ur monitor settings if not go to microsoft<<or whatever computer you have>> sight and look for information
Pupose of the aquadag coating in CRT?
The purpose of graphite coating called Aquadag coating is to absorb all the electrons that get diverted from their path while they are travelling coaxial to the CRT. These electrons are attracted towards the aquadag coating and returned to the anode accelerating anode.
