There are many uses of connecting your laptop or computer to a tv, such as playing games, viewing the internet on a bigger screen or watching movies in high definition.I explain in this post how you can hook up your laptop and connect your lcd or plasma television to it.You can connect your graphics card to a tv using
a wireless receiver, but its not always reliable if compared to a wired connection.
I have come up with a quick and simple guide that you can use.
Check your graphics card, does it have a video output? Like a hdmi socket or vga output? Most on board graphics cards don't have a vga output.If you have a vga output then you need to buy or make a double sided vga cable to connect your laptop to your tv.If you have a hdmi port on your graphics card then you have to buy a hdmi cable.Make sure you get a hdmi cable that is gold plated as they give much better sound and quality by giving a better output signal to your telly.
Most newer television's are all hd ready and don't use a s video cable to transfer the video signal as it is old technology.So all you need to do is get the appropriate lead that is required to use your tv as a computer monitor.Its not hard to make the connections, all you do is plug one end of the lead into your tv and the other end into your graphics card.Make sure you match the resolution and refresh rate of the tv with the graphics card setting to get the best picture quality.You can use the speakers that are built in the tv for sound, or you can use your pc speakers.
