connecting to another monitor

[chaos001]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, couldnt find a place to post and have windows 7.

 

Just got a new all in one pc acer aspire z5610.

 

Can I connect an all in one to another monitor or TV. Previously on other PC's I would just disconect monitor and connect to TV.

 

Please answer as if your talking to a 5 year old, really don't know anything about connection types etc.

Hello and welcome.

 

I dont think you can but others maybe more aware of if it can be done.

 

I have done a search and depends on which model you have to what can actualy be done with it.PCWorld says you have the lower ended priced one.

 

I cannot find anywere if this takes an external TV.

[chaos001]

Not sure which I have.

 

Acer Aspire Z5610

Intel ® Core 2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93 GHz

4 Gig Ram

 

Does this information answer which I have

I Agree with Jelly Bean

 

according to Acer you have

 

• Side:
  
• Two USB 2.0 ports, Multi-in-1 card reader, High-definition headphone and microphone jacks, Ambient light switch
  
• 
  
• Rear:
  
• Four USB 2.0 ports, DC-in jack, Ethernet (RJ-45) port, Four audio ports, eSATA port, optional IR blaster port (bundle with TV tuner card), optional TV-tuner port
  

 

to connect to a second monitor you would need a VGA and or DVI out port

or a PCI/PCI-e slot to put an after market graphics card in

If I network my existing computer to another pc that can connect to the television. I should be able to work from my existing pc on the television screen. Yes No ?

Not to sure what your trying to achieve but yes.

 

If you network the two PC's and set up file sharing your old PC can read of your new PC's drives HDD/DVD and play or display the files on the TV.

 

but your new PC won't be able to use the OLD PC to run a second monitor, if you set up remote access you should be able to control your old PC from your new PC.

 

as far as I know But Networking isn't my strong point so their might be a networking wizard that would disagree with what I just said.
