Can someone help me to find out if there is a converter or some other type of way that will work to allow me to view my Netflix from my computer on my TV monitor. TX

If the machine has a DVI port, get a DVI-HDMI adapter, and use a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable. (DVI doesn't have audio.) If that doesn't work, use a VGA cable and a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable.

Thank you Brian, I will investigate the second idea you gave me as my computer does not have a DVI port best I can determine. Happy Holidays to you and yours. MB

Hi, MBB, and welcome to the Answer Line forum.

See TheHDTV Has HDMI, but the PC Does Not.

I just looked at the TV and there is no VGA cable port on the TV. I do have a second VGA port on my computer monitor however but not sure if there is some sort of adapter I could plug the VGA cable into, to adapt it to the TV.

I just looked it up, and I see what you mean. You're limited to VGA (which I've heard is unfortunately limited to 1024x768 on some TVs. you'll have to try and see) The other option is to get a cheap discrete graphics card, since you have a PCIe x16 slot. (BUT: you only have a 160W PSU, so maybe not...)
