Computer σας με τη TV σας

Ταχυδρομημένος στις 26 Ιουνίου 2007 στις 8:50 AM

Γράφω αυτήν την θέση επάνω πώς να συνδέσει το PC ή τον υπολογιστή σας με μια TV επειδή την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα επέστρεψα από ένα ταξίδι στην Ινδία και θέλησα να παρουσιάσω τις όλα εικόνες και βίντεό μου στην οικογένειά μου από το lap-top μου επάνω στη HDTV μας, αλλά δυστυχώς δεν είχα τα σωστά σκοινιά και έτσι μετά από γύρω για 30 λεπτά που προσπαθούν να συνδέσω τον υπολογιστή μου με τη TV, έπρεπε να πω σε την καθεμία ότι θα έπρεπε να περιμένουν μέχρι το επόμενο Σαββατοκύριακο! Αρκετά ενοχλητικοί εξετάζοντας τη The Times ζούμε μέσα, πρέπει να είναι αρκετά εύκολο να συνδέσουν τα δύο!

Τόσο εδώ είναι ένα γρήγορο πέρασμα όλων των μεθόδων που ξέρω (εάν ξέρετε άλλα, παρακαλώ σχολιάζετε) για να συνδέσετε ένα lap-top ή ένα PC με τη TV σας:

1. S-τηλεοπτικός - Αυτό είναι πιθανώς η πιό κοινή μέθοδος έξω εκεί αυτήν την περίοδο επειδή ένα s-τηλεοπτικό καλώδιο είναι φτηνό ως heck και ακριβώς για κάθε TV κάτω από τον ήλιο έχει έναν s-τηλεοπτικό λιμένα. Θα πρέπει να σας σιγουρευτείτε lap-top είστε εξοπλισμένοι με αυτόν τον λιμένα. Θυμηθείτε, υπάρχουν δύο τύποι s-τηλεοπτικών καλωδίων: καρφίτσα 4 και καρφίτσα 7. Τα περισσότερα lap-top και PC είναι εξοπλισμένα με έναν λιμένα 7 καρφιτσών, έτσι εάν η TV σας να έχε μόνο 4 καρφώνουν τον s-τηλεοπτικό λιμένα, κατόπιν αυτή η μέθοδος δεν θα λειτουργήσει.

2. VGA - Εάν έχετε μια HDTV, κατόπιν θα είστε καλύτερη σύνδεση χρησιμοποιώντας ένα καλώδιο VGA. Δίνει την πολύ καλύτερη ποιότητα από s-τηλεοπτική και όπως με το s-βίντεο, το καλώδιο είναι πολύ φτηνό. Συνήθως δεν θα βρείτε έναν λιμένα VGA στις κανονικές TV εν τούτοις, έτσι αυτή η επιλογή είναι εάν να έχοντας μια HDTV.

3. DVI - Στάσεις DVI για Ψηφιακή οπτική διεπαφή με τη «ψηφιακή» ύπαρξη η βασική λέξη εκεί. Το ψηφιακό σήμα θα δώσει μια υψηλότερη εικόνα από είτε s-τηλεοπτική είτε το VGA. Φυσικά, ο υπολογιστής σας θα πρέπει να έχει μια σύνδεση DVI και η TV σας θα πρέπει να είναι μια HDTV. Αυτό το σκοινί δεν είναι σίγουρα φτηνό, κυμαίνεται οπουδήποτε από $40 έως $80.

4. HDMI - Η χρησιμοποίηση HDMI θα σας δώσει την καλύτερη ποιότητα κατά πολύ. Κανένας υπολογιστής για τον οποίο ξέρω δεν έχει ακόμα τους λιμένες HDMI, αλλά μπορείτε να φτάσετε ένα DVI στο καλώδιο HDMI για να την συνδέσετε με τη HDTV σας. HDMI είναι συμβατό με DVI.

5. Κιβώτιο μετατροπέων ανίχνευσης - Αυτό είναι η τελευταία μέθοδος την οποία θα μπορούσα να σκεφτώ και περιλαμβάνει τη χρησιμοποίηση ενός κιβωτίου μετατροπέων ανίχνευσης, το οποίο παίρνει ένα σήμα VGA και την μετατρέπει στο s-βίντεο ή το συστατικό βίντεο.

Εδώ είναι ένας γραφικός εγώ δημιούργησε με μερικές εικόνες των διάφορων καλωδίων:

Ελπίστε ότι αυτό βοηθά κάποιο! Εάν έχετε οποιεσδήποτε άλλεσδήποτε ιδέες ή προτάσεις, παρακαλώ αισθανθείτε ελεύθερος να σχολιάσει!!! Ευχαριστίες!

tried using a vga cord connected to laptop and hdtv. tuned tv to pc mode but when laptop is switched on the screen just remains black as well as the tv screen..The only thing that works is that i can use the cursor on the laptop and it shows up on the hdtv but all remains black…what can i do..please,,,any suggestions….thank you

akishore said on : August 14th, 2007 at 7:46 am

Hi Peter,

You could try to do a few things for starters: go ahead and change the resolution on your laptop to something lower, maybe 800×600, sometimes that causes the problem. You can also change the color scheme to 24-bit if it’s set to 32-bit and see if that works.

Also, you said you are changing the TV to PC mode, but what about the laptop? Sometimes, you have to press FN (function key) and F8 (the CRT/LCD) key to have the signal sent out to the TV.

Let me know if these three things work or not!

Thanks

thanks for the great tips.

The Dell XPS M1330 has HDMI built in. Kinda expensive though…

Hmz said on : August 24th, 2007 at 9:50 pm

Dude, the easiest and by far the best way I have seen is to set the advance timings on a pc just right and use a vga to scart cable (Maybe with audio of you don’t have the pc hooked up to an audio system of some sort). This is a nerdy approach but you get superb results for little money with stuff that’s standard on both the TV and PC. You can also get dvi to s-video or CVBS to make it happen.

One on my favorite ways is to just stream it to my TV via a computer that is hooked up via DVI. This way you can have a silent, efficient and small htcp that can stream over your wan.

Hope it helps

Javi said on : August 25th, 2007 at 2:05 am

I was literally trying to figure this out jsut a few hours ago at Circuit City, for my friend who just got a HD tv for his dorm. Had i known some of this info for sure, then i would have told him to just save his money for better things like a 360/PS2/Wii. He lacks a DVI on his laptop so he really cant get the quality he thinks byuseing the hd tv as a monitor

Delahue said on : August 25th, 2007 at 8:27 pm

I have recently bought a 40″ LCD Samsung with 1080P Full HDTV. I am trying to connect via DVI to HTMI, for some reason my tv wont pick it up. If anyone can help me find out what i need to do I would greatly appreciate it.

Barclay said on : August 28th, 2007 at 11:25 am

I found this in FAQ,s at Olevia. I just got one of their HDTV’s. Haven’t tried hooking up yet. Good luck.

Q: I am using a PC, but I get no image, what should I do?

A: Olevia recommends connecting with computer monitor first to re-configure a resolution of 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz and connects to Olevia LCD TV afterward. Anything higher, the LCD TV will not recognize

Hi,

Great tip! I just read about a great place to buy cables in the August Issue of Smart Money Magazine. The web site is monoprice.com. I do not have any affiliation with them. I was able to purchase a gold plated HDMI to DVI 15ft cable for $6.30 + $7 shipping! WOW!
Can’t wait to try this when I get it.
Thanks again.
Dan

Kev Smith said on : August 30th, 2007 at 8:51 am

Hi,

I have just purchased the cables to connect my laptop to my TV. But guess what, my laptop DOESN’T have the S Video port! It is an Acer Aspire so hey, I guess you get what you pay for! Anyway, is there any way I can convert the S Video 7 pin connector to the parallel port on my laptop? Are there any adapters out there?

Thanks!
Kev

Miguel Andrade said on : August 31st, 2007 at 6:10 am

Hi,

I also have a question:

I have a MacBook Pro laptop with a DVI output with an adaptor to VGA; at the present the laptop is connected to an external computor screen (using the VGA adaptor). However, I would like to plug it to my TV, a Panasonic (not a recent model) with two Scart inputs and a S-Video (4 pins). Would there be a way to make it hapen? (I have asqued in a couple of shops and people told me that connecting the Mac wouldn’t be possible, but I don’t know if they knew what they were talking about)

Thanks.

Miguel

v said on : September 4th, 2007 at 6:04 pm

I tried following all of your advice, but the tv says NO SIGNAL.

since my laptop doesnt have a dvi port, i’m using a vga-dvi converter. then i’m using a dvi-hdmi converter to connect to the tv, but it still doesn’t work.

i’ve tried using the Fn + F8 key, but that didn’t work… any ideas?

thankss

Nick H said on : September 4th, 2007 at 9:29 pm

I have a Tevion 32″ LCD TV, my computer has 3 outputs, 1xVGA, 1xDVI, 1xS-Video. I bought a DVI-D cable (5 metres) and a DVI to HDMI Adaptor to connect the computer and the TV.

The video works fine but of course I cannot get any audio since the TV does not appear to have a audio input related to the HDMI video input. Is there any other work arounds to get audio to work in this case?

If there isn’t I will just get a DVI to VGA adaptor and a 5 metre VGA cable and connect that to my TV and use the 3.5mm “PC Audio In” to connect the audio. How much worse will the video look using VGA instead of DVI?

Nick H said on : September 4th, 2007 at 9:31 pm

Oh and I forgot to mention the TV inputs are 1xVGA, 1xHDMI, 1×3.5mm PC Audio In, 1xS-Video and a whole bunch of composite ports

Please any help is appreciated
Thank you
Nick

JOrdan said on : September 5th, 2007 at 8:07 am

I was gonna try that same thing ‘v’ Im using an S-Video cable to connect my PC to TV on a 50″ sony HDTV. Picture looks liek crap.. lines scroll from bottom to up and its pretty fuzzy. I’ll try using a VGA component and let everyone knows how that works, if not, i’ll try what v tried, in my head, it should work lol

Mike said on : September 15th, 2007 at 12:22 pm

I hooked my computer to my TV using the s-video cable, then I configured my my video card, and now I can see my comp image on my TV screen.. However, what Im really trying to do, is go the other way. I want my TV screen image to appear in a video program on my computer so I can capture the footage with my CPU.. How do I get my computer to find the TV?

AbhiV said on : September 17th, 2007 at 10:26 am

I have a Samsung LCD HDTV and a DELL XPS Laptop which has a HDMI output , recently I bought a HDMI cable to transfer video signal from my laptop to my LCD TV , I was successfully able to do that but unfortunatly I was not able to transfer Audio from LAPTOP to my TV and I had to depend on LAPTOP speakers for it. Any Inputs on How can I transfer Audio from laptop to my HDTV using HDMI cable ?

Peter said on : September 18th, 2007 at 5:31 pm

Hi All,

Im kinda in the same position as Nick H. Firstly i connected by 32″ LCD HDTV to my computer via a S-Video cable. After playiong around with the options i got it working but it wasnt very clear. I want to connect my computer to my TV using a DVI cable but i cannot do that as i only have 1 DVI output on my video card and that is connected to my monitor. So i was thinking of using the spare VGA output from my video card to connect to my LCD TV. What do you guys think? Would i get better quality out of VGA then S-Video and also how much of a difference would it be if i connected DVI insted?

Bob M said on : September 19th, 2007 at 4:42 pm

Mike. You cannot go the other way as far as I know. You will need a TV Tuner card to capture the TV signal on your computer. I have the Nvidia DualTV MCE card and it works awesome. You do need to be running Windows MCE or the top end Vista. I think ATI video capture/TV tuner cards will work with XP. You can then use your computer as a pvr. You will need lots of harddrive space as the video files are big. With MCE a 1 hr show is about 3.5gb in size in the best quality. They record in dvr.ms format. Other cards probably save the files in a different file format that are smaller in size.

Adam said on : September 25th, 2007 at 7:16 pm

I have a laptop with a VGA output and a TV with a DVI output. Can I use a VGA to DVI cable to connect my laptop to the television? And also,would I need some sort of DVI-out video card or a VGA-out video card?

Yogi said on : October 13th, 2007 at 7:46 am

I have one question: if S-Video cable is my only option, then how can I get the audio connection?
Big thanks.

DB said on : October 14th, 2007 at 3:52 am

Hi all

Well, I too have some problems trying to connect my PC to my television. The TV is a pretty recent Philips CRT screen with S-video and composite (yellow, white, red cinch). When I boot my PC, I can see the whole hardware control, including the windows load screen on the tv. But when the PC actually shows Windows (so the log-on screen (”Welcome user”), and afterwards my desktop) the TV responds as horizontal lines that blip every now and then.
I have tried to change my resolution on primary AND secondary monitors, changed Hz, switched cables, swiched signal, etc…

notthing seems to help. The only thing i have, is sound comming from TV, and thats it.
Anyone some suggestions ?

Many Thanks

Ryan said on : October 16th, 2007 at 7:15 pm

I bought the VGA cord, it has a male and a female end. However my HDTV has a female plug and so does my laptop. Any suggestions?

John Ransom said on : October 17th, 2007 at 3:49 am

I used an S-Video to RCA cable to hook my computer up to my tv and it worked great for a while. Now, for some reason, everything works fine except that the video stopped. I can see my desktop on the tv and Media Player comes up fine, but as soon as I press play, instead of the tv show or movie, I just get a green blur in the visualizer. Anyone know why?

Bob M said on : October 17th, 2007 at 6:14 am

You can get Cords that have Male or Female on both ends. I purchased a Male, Male cord at Staples to hook mine up.

Roger said on : October 18th, 2007 at 4:12 am

I have connected to my TV using the VGA cable and picture is good. My problem is I cannot get any sound using phono connections from my laptop. I have a Sony KDL-26T3000 TV which has a variety of phono sockets on the back. Tried them all without success. Any ideas please?

RAM said on : October 19th, 2007 at 2:49 am

I am planning to connect my toshiba laptop to my Panasonic Plasma HDTV. I have S-video and VGA slots in my laptop and i have 3 s-video, 2 RGB slots in my HDTV. Basically my problem is connecting we can connect anyway but on which channel i need to see the picture of my laptop. When i press TV/video button i am getting a popup on my TV asking for selection there i see TV/COMPONENT 1/Component 2/DVD/Cable/Video1/video2/video3. Among those only TV/DVD/CABLE are highlighted and the other stuff are greyed, which i cant select. How i can make Video1 or component 1 enable to select. My 2 HDMI ports are used for DVD and CABLE DVR. So, only option i have is either S-video or RGB component connection in HDTV. Pls. Help! Thanks in advance.

sam said on : October 20th, 2007 at 7:13 pm

I have connected my s-video cable to the TV, but I don’t know how to configure the video card to send siginal to TV.

Guys, Thanks for the great info. Yesterday i broke the display for my laptop and not wondering how to connect it to my Samsung 32″ LCD t.v. It has PC in slot for D cable, guys for your experience pls let me know should i go about buying a s-vedio cable to vga d cable, which one is better.

ricky said on : October 25th, 2007 at 9:32 am

Hi guys great info, but what i would like to know is, how can you connect your laptop to your tv so you get both picture and audio. The reason being is that i have just purchased a s-video lead so i can connect my laptop to my tv but there is no sound.

akishore said on : October 25th, 2007 at 11:11 am

Hi,

If you need to get the sound from your computer or laptop to the TV, you need to use a different cable in addition to the computer to TV cable.

The cable to transfer sound from your computer to your TV is called a 3.5mm Mini-Stereo Male to Two RCA Male Speaker Cable. Search for that in Google and you will find a bunch.

Now you’ll be able to see the picture and get sound from your laptop to the TV.

Rich said on : November 7th, 2007 at 2:10 pm

Hello. A couple of people on here have the same issue as me but their problems were never addressed. My TV won’t recognize my computer via HDMI to DVI connection. My cable is 15 ft. long and I heard that the cable may be too long for the TV to pick up a signal. I was also wondering if I needed a specific driver to get my computer to recognize my 50″ Samsung HDTV. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I’m looking to hook my computer up to my 37″ vizio hdtv. It has a GRB slot and i want to hook up my vga cord to it from my computer. When i do it shows up but the image flickers and goes black from time to time. My desktop is a dell dimension 4600 from 2004 and someone said it might be my video card is not compatible. I really dont know much in the way of computers so do people know if that would be effecting it. Ive played around with the resolutions and that does not seem to do the trick.

geo said on : November 18th, 2007 at 2:05 pm

Bill said on : November 20th, 2007 at 5:48 pm

Has anyone tried using your headphone jack on you pc then connecting your TV’s aduio input?
My Sony HDTV 42″ has a RGB connector in the back and beside it is an audio in (RCA jacks - red and white). I have not tried any hookups yet.
My Compaq laptop has what looks to be a mini 15 pin connector and my Sony has the regulr size 15 pin connector.
Is there a cable out there that has this makeup?

Bill said on : November 21st, 2007 at 10:03 am

Update: On my Sony HDTV on the back is a PC connection setup
RGB -15 D-sub connector and an audio input.

I connected the 15 pin - 15 pin D-Sub cable from
the laptop to the back of the Sony and connected to the headphone jack on the laptop to the audio in on the Sony.

Using the Sony remote opened the WEGA Menu and dropped down to the 7Th connection opened the setting to “PC”

Closed the menu and turned on the PC, (using Windows Vista)it detected the connection to the TV.

I selected the option to view TV with laptop.

Everything work great.

Good Luck

how about if my laptop has an s-video connection but my tv doesnt. can i somehow connect the s-video from my latop to my standalone dvd player, and from there the dvd to tv?

J-Dub said on : December 2nd, 2007 at 10:13 pm

I recently hooked up my laptop to my plasma tv (via D-Sub / VGA 15pin) but I’m not getting a consistent image.

I have tried the following already:

Updated my graphics card with the latest drivers (ATI Mobility Radeon 9700)
Varied the screen resolution from 1024×768 @ 60Hz to 800×600 (the manual specifies that the TV is optimal at 1380×768 @ 60Hz and supports resolutions below this)
Changed the configuration of the screens i.e. extend desktop, clone desktop etc…

I’m puzzled because the laptop acknowledges that the Plasma is connected (as it detects the actual plasma’s name) and when connected, the plasma briefly displays the desktop (for approx 0.5s) before displaying a blank (black) screen.

Chandra said on : December 4th, 2007 at 7:15 pm

pablo said on : January 5th, 2008 at 7:48 pm

READ THIS TO ANSWER AUDIO PROBLEMS!!

Ok you will need a cord for video and a seperate one for audio (may it be VGA or S-Video). The audio cable is
a 3.5mm double sided male cable. It looks like the part of a headphone set that you plug into your computer or MP3 player, except that the plug is on both sides. You need to plug one end into the headphone jack on your laptop and the other into the RGB Audio In jack on the back of your TV.

Thanks

Naureen said on : January 8th, 2008 at 4:25 pm

I tried connecting my laptops (Compaq / Dell) to my Samsung 42″ plasma using VGA as well as S-Video cable & the TV just does not respond. Although I tried using the Compaq laptop & the same cables & tried connecting with Panasonic as well as Sharp Plasmas & they detected the PC connection Immediately. I went to see Samsung Support, even there my compaq would not resond. Although when Samsung Support connected their Acer using ‘Intel Extreme Graphics2 for mobile’, it worked. I don’t have that software, can anyone suggest what to do.

Great info on how to get started. I am now seemingly up and running however I have one major problem!!! Any time I try to play any of my files such as home videos (my wedding) I can see it on the laptop but not on the tv. The tv will show the media player but not the video it is showing! Any ideas? I have tried many different files and even some video straming sites and all are the same.

Ok, I have a Compaq Presario Desktop Computer.
I purchased it for almost 170$ less because it came without monitor.

Then i bought a 25 FT SVGA Male to Male Cable to plug my desktop into my RCA HDTV.
( I cant stand my current monitor lol )

If i plug the cable into my laptop, and hit the CRT/LCD button, then the TV Changes from No Signal, to the Laptop Screen. How do I get the Desktop to do this?
I cant exactly see what Im doign with no monitor plugged in…

I am trying to hook up my laptop to my sony LCD. I have purchased a AVG cable and a RGA mini-to-mini audio cable. I can successfully transfer the video up to the television, but the audio doesn’t work. I continue to get the audio from whatever channel the tv was on prior to switching to PC mode. Please help!
