That's up to the video card she has... and true, not a lot of stock video cards will support tv out from vga, without conversion... just trying to show her where to look, and what features to look for in her computer purchases... hdmi is our next challenge with all the hd tv's... price a lengthy hdmi cable and you'll find out that maybe the vga to rca or s-video converter is not a bad way to go... and the necessity of the converter is not that pricey, or inconvenient compared to running 50 ft. of hdmi cable! Then there is the picture quality issue... do you need hd quality for just lyrics doing Karaoke? Or are we talking about the video quality and resources that will be required, when running all the features that are upcoming in the next generation of Karaoke?
