It would help to know exact what you have for a pc and what other connections your tv has as well.
Also you will need 3.5 mm to RCA cable if you dont use the HDMI.

If your PC has vista or win 7 check and make sure you have a PCI-E SLOT open. HDMI card for vista /7 run under 50

Also, if your current video card has DVI out, you could simply get a DVI to HDMI cable, but it may support all the resolutions of the HDMI on your TV (depending on what resoultions your current DVI supports).

Yes. Get a video card for your computer that outputs to HDMI. Anytyhing else will simply be an "upscaler" and will probably look like crap. You can get these for about $20 - $50 now depending on how much omph you want for them. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref...video+card

Alternatively, you could also just get a new Blu-ray player or some other set top box that supports netflix and take the computer completely out of the equation, unless you're also using the pc as a media box, which is awesome if you are.

I have a Sanyo HDTV made in 06. Not a flat screen. It has and HDMI input on the back. Is there any type of adapter than can be used to stream video from Netflix through my PC for it ?
