How to connect your Laptop/PC/Computer to your TV Cómo conectar su Laptop / PC / PC a su TV

Posted on June 26, 2007 at 8:50 am Publicado el 26 de junio de 2007 a las 8:50 am

I'm writing this post on how to connect your PC or computer to a TV because last week I returned from a trip in India and wanted to show all of my pictures and videos to my family from my laptop onto our HDTV, but unfortunately I did not have the correct cords and so after fumbling around for 30 minutes trying to connect my computer to the TV, I had to tell everyone that they would have to wait till the next weekend! Estoy escribiendo este post sobre cómo conectar su PC u ordenador a un televisor ya que la semana pasada regresé de un viaje en la India y quería mostrar a todas mis fotos y videos a mi familia de mi ordenador portátil a nuestra televisión de alta definición, pero desafortunadamente no tenía los cables de manera correcta y después de ir a tientas durante 30 minutos intentando conectar mi ordenador a la TV, tuve que decirle a todos que tendrían que esperar hasta el próximo fin de semana! Pretty annoying considering the times we live in, it should be quite easy to connect the two together! Muy molesto teniendo en cuenta los tiempos en que vivimos, debe ser muy fácil de conectar los dos juntos!

So here's a quick walk-through of all the methods that I know (if you know any more, please comment) to connect a laptop or PC to your TV: Así que aquí hay un rápido paseo a través de todos los métodos que conozco (si sabe más, por favor un comentario) para conectar un ordenador portátil o PC a tu TV:

1. S-Video – This is probably the most common method out there currently because an S-Video cable is cheap as heck and just about every TV under the sun has a S-Video port. 1. S-Video - Esta es probablemente el método más común allí en la actualidad debido a que un cable S-Video es barata como diablos y la televisión casi todos bajo el sol tiene un puerto S-Video. You'll have to make sure you laptop is equipped with this port. Usted tendrá que asegurarse de que portátil está equipado con este puerto. Remember, there are two types of S-Video cables: 4-pin and 7-pin . Recuerde, hay dos tipos de cables de S-Video: 4-pines y 7-pin. Most laptops and PC's are equipped with a 7-pin port, so if your TV only has a 4-pin S-Video port, then this method will not work. La mayoría de los ordenadores portátiles y PC's están equipadas con un puerto de 7-pin, de modo que si su televisor sólo tiene un 4-pin puerto S-Video, entonces este método no funcionará.

2. VGA – If you have a HDTV, then you will be better off connecting using a VGA cable. 2. VGA - Si usted tiene una televisión de alta definición, entonces será mejor que conecta mediante un cable VGA. It gives much better quality than S-Video and as with S-Video, the cable is very cheap. Le da una calidad mucho mejor que el S-Video y como con el S-Video, el cable es muy barato. You usually won't find a VGA port on regular TV's though, so this option is if you have an HDTV. Por lo general, no va a encontrar un puerto VGA en la TV regular de embargo, lo que esta opción es que si usted tiene un HDTV.

3. DVI - DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface with “digital” being the key word there. 3. DVI - DVI significa Digital Visual Interface con "digital" es la palabra clave allí. The digital signal will give a higher quality picture than either S-Video or VGA. La señal digital se dan una imagen de mayor calidad que cualquiera de S-Video o VGA. Of course, your computer will need to have a DVI connection and your TV will need to be an HDTV. Por supuesto, el equipo tendrá que tener una conexión DVI y su TV será necesario un HDTV. This cord is definitely not cheap, it ranges anywhere from $40 to $80. Este cable es, sin duda no es barato, oscila entre $ 40 a $ 80.

4. HDMI – Using HDMI will give you the best quality by far. 4. HDMI - a través de HDMI le dará la mejor calidad por el momento. No computers that I know of yet have HDMI ports, but you can get a DVI to HDMI cable to connect it to your HDTV. Sin equipo, que yo sepa aún tienen puertos HDMI, pero usted puede conseguir un cable DVI a HDMI para conectar a tu HDTV. HDMI is compatible with DVI. HDMI es compatible con DVI.

5. Scan Converter Box – This is the last method that I could think of and it involves using a scan converter box, which takes a VGA signal and converts it into S-Video or component video. 5. Scan Converter Box - Este es el último método que se me ocurrió y que consiste en utilizar una caja convertidora de exploración, que tiene una señal VGA y la convierte en S-Video o vídeo componente.

Here's a graphic I created with some pictures of the various cables: Aquí hay un gráfico que he creado con algunas fotos de los diversos cables:

    Hi Peter, Hola Pedro,

    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. Usted podría intentar hacer algunas cosas para empezar: seguir adelante y cambiar la resolución en su computadora portátil a algo más bajo, tal vez 800 × 600, a veces, que causa el problema. You can also change the color scheme to 24-bit if it's set to 32-bit and see if that works. También puede cambiar el esquema de color de 24 bits si está establecido en 32-bit y ver si funciona.

    Also, you said you are changing the TV to PC mode, but what about the laptop? Además, dijo que están cambiando el televisor a modo PC, pero ¿qué pasa con el portátil? Sometimes, you have to press FN (function key) and F8 (the CRT/LCD) key to have the signal sent out to the TV. A veces, tienes que pulsar FN (tecla de función) y F8 (CRT / LCD) clave para tener la señal enviada a la TV.

    Let me know if these three things work or not! Déjame saber si estas tres cosas funcionan o no!

    Thanks Gracias

    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). Dude, la más fácil y con mucho, la mejor manera que he visto es establecer los intervalos de avance en una PC apenas a la derecha y utilizar un cable VGA a la entrada SCART (Tal vez con el audio de ustedes no tienen la PC conectada a un sistema de audio de algún tipo). This is a nerdy approach but you get superb results for little money with stuff that's standard on both the TV and PC. Este es un enfoque nerd, pero obtiene resultados excelentes y por poco dinero con cosas que el estándar en la televisión y tanto en el PC. You can also get dvi to s-video or CVBS to make it happen. También puede obtener de DVI a s-video o CVBS para que esto ocurra.

    One on my favorite ways is to just stream it to my TV via a computer that is hooked up via DVI. Una de mis maneras favoritas es simplemente escuchar a mi TV a través de un equipo que está conectado a través de DVI. This way you can have a silent, efficient and small htcp that can stream over your wan. De esta manera usted puede tener un HTCP silencioso, eficiente y pequeños que pueden escuchar más de su WAN.

    Hope it helps Espero que ayuda :)

Yo estaba literalmente tratando de resolver esto sólo hace unas horas en el Circuit de la ciudad, para mi amigo que acaba de recibir un televisor de alta definición para su dormitorio.

    Hi, Hola,

    Great tip! Gran punta! I just read about a great place to buy cables in the August Issue of Smart Money Magazine. Acabo de leer sobre un gran lugar para comprar los cables en la edición de agosto de Smart Money Magazine. The web site is monoprice.com. El sitio web es monoprice.com. I do not have any affiliation with them. No tengo ninguna afiliación con ellos. I was able to purchase a gold plated HDMI to DVI 15ft cable for $6.30 + $7 shipping! Fui capaz de comprar una chapada en oro HDMI a DVI de 15 pies de cable de $ 6.30 + gastos de envío $ 7! WOW! WOW!
    Can't wait to try this when I get it. No puedo esperar a probar esta cuando lo reciba.
    Thanks again. Gracias de nuevo.

    I also have a question: También tengo una pregunta:

    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). Tengo un MacBook Pro con una salida con un adaptador DVI a VGA; en la actualidad el portátil está conectado a una pantalla externa computor (utilizando el adaptador VGA). 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). Sin embargo, me gustaría conectarlo a mi televisor, un Panasonic (no es un modelo reciente) con dos entradas de euroconector y un S-Video (4 pines). Would there be a way to make it hapen? ¿Habrá una manera de hacer que suceda? (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) (Tengo asqued en un par de tiendas y la gente me dijo que conectar el Mac no sería posible, pero no sé si sabían lo que estaban hablando)

    since my laptop doesnt have a dvi port, i'm using a vga-dvi converter. doesnt desde mi computadora portátil tiene un puerto DVI, estoy utilizando un conversor DVI-VGA. then i'm using a dvi-hdmi converter to connect to the tv, but it still doesn't work. entonces estoy utilizando un conversor DVI-HDMI para conectar a la TV, pero todavía no funciona.

    I have a Tevion 32″ LCD TV, my computer has 3 outputs, 1xVGA, 1xDVI, 1xS-Video. Tengo un Tevion 32 "LCD TV, mi equipo tiene 3 salidas, 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. He comprado un cable DVI-D (5 metros) y un adaptador de DVI a HDMI para conectar el ordenador y el televisor.

    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. El vídeo funciona bien, pero por supuesto que no puede conseguir cualquier archivo de audio desde la TV no parecen tener una entrada de audio relacionados con la entrada de vídeo HDMI. Is there any other work arounds to get audio to work in this case? ¿Hay alguna arounds otros trabajos necesarios para obtener el audio para trabajar en este caso?

    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. Si no hay sólo voy a conseguir un adaptador DVI a VGA y un cable VGA de 5 metros y que conecta al televisor y el uso de 3,5 mm "Audio en PC" para conectar el audio. How much worse will the video look using VGA instead of DVI? Mucho peor que mirar el vídeo mediante VGA en lugar de DVI?

    Hi All, 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. Im un poco en la misma posición, ya que Nick H. en primer lugar quiero conectados por 32 "LCD HDTV a mi ordenador mediante un cable S-Video. After playiong around with the options i got it working but it wasnt very clear. Después de playiong alrededor con las opciones que tengo trabajo pero no fue muy clara. 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. Quiero conectar mi ordenador a mi TV usando un cable DVI, pero no puedo hacer eso ya que sólo tengo 1 salida DVI de mi tarjeta de video y que está conectado a mi monitor. So i was thinking of using the spare VGA output from my video card to connect to my LCD TV. Así que estaba pensando en usar la salida VGA de repuesto de mi tarjeta de vídeo para conectar a mi TV LCD. What do you guys think? ¿Qué piensan ustedes? 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? ¿Podría yo obtener una mejor calidad de VGA a continuación, S-Video y también cuánto de una diferencia sería si me conecta insted DVI?


  19. Bob M said on : Bob M dijo en:

    Mike. Mike. You cannot go the other way as far as I know. Usted no puede ir en sentido contrario por lo que yo sé. You will need a TV Tuner card to capture the TV signal on your computer. Usted necesitará una tarjeta de sintonizador de TV para captar la señal de TV en su ordenador. I have the Nvidia DualTV MCE card and it works awesome. Tengo la tarjeta de Nvidia DualTV MCE y funciona impresionante. You do need to be running Windows MCE or the top end Vista. Usted necesita tener Windows MCE o el extremo superior Vista. I think ATI video capture/TV tuner cards will work with XP. Creo que la captura de vídeo ATI / tarjetas sintonizadoras de TV funciona con Windows XP. You can then use your computer as a pvr. A continuación, puede utilizar el ordenador como un PVR. You will need lots of harddrive space as the video files are big. Usted necesitará un montón de espacio en disco duro los archivos de vídeo son grandes. With MCE a 1 hr show is about 3.5gb in size in the best quality. Con el MCE de 1 h se trata de mostrar el 3,5 GB de tamaño en la mejor calidad. They record in dvr.ms format. En ellas se registran en el formato de dvr.ms. Other cards probably save the files in a different file format that are smaller in size. Otras tarjetas, probablemente guardar los archivos en un formato de archivo diferente que son de menor tamaño.

    Hi all Hola a todos

    Well, I too have some problems trying to connect my PC to my television. Bueno, yo también tengo algunos problemas tratando de conectar mi PC a mi televisión. The TV is a pretty recent Philips CRT screen with S-video and composite (yellow, white, red cinch). La televisión es una pantalla muy reciente de Philips CRT con S-video y compuesto (amarillo, blanco, rojo RCA). When I boot my PC, I can see the whole hardware control, including the windows load screen on the tv. Cuando arranco mi PC, puedo ver el control conjunto de hardware, incluyendo la pantalla de carga de Windows en el televisor. 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. Pero cuando la realidad muestra PC de Windows (por lo que el diario en la pantalla ( "Bienvenido usuario"), y después de mi escritorio) el televisor responde como líneas horizontales que blip de vez en cuando.
    I have tried to change my resolution on primary AND secondary monitors, changed Hz, switched cables, swiched signal, etc… He intentado cambiar mi resolución sobre monitores de primaria y secundaria, cambió Hz, cables de encendido, la señal de swiched, etc ...

    notthing seems to help. notthing parece ayudar. The only thing i have, is sound comming from TV, and thats it. La única cosa que tiene, es sonido procedente de la televisión, y eso es él.
    Anyone some suggestions ? Cualquiera algunas sugerencias?

    Hi, Hola,

    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. Si usted necesita para obtener el sonido de su ordenador de sobremesa o portátil a la televisión, usted necesita utilizar un cable diferente, además de la computadora a la televisión por 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. El cable para transferir el sonido de su computadora a su TV se llama mini-estéreo de 3,5 mm macho a dos RCA Speaker Cable. Search for that in Google and you will find a bunch. Buscar que en Google y encontrará un montón.

    Now you'll be able to see the picture and get sound from your laptop to the TV. Ahora usted podrá ver la imagen y hacer que el sonido de su computadora portátil a la televisión.

Sin embargo, por alguna razón el equipo sólo se irá a 1280 por 1024 con VGA azul al cable VGA. is it possible to go 1920 by 1080 with this cable? ¿Es posible ir de 1920 por 1080 con este cable? If not, I have a hdmi to dvid cable but this does not seem to be working Si no, tengo un cable HDMI a DVI-D, pero esto no parece estar funcionando

    thanks gracias

    Hello. Hola. A couple of people on here have the same issue as me but their problems were never addressed. Un par de personas aquí tienen el mismo problema que yo, pero sus problemas no fueron abordados. My TV won't recognize my computer via HDMI to DVI connection. Mi televisor no se reconoce mi ordenador a través de la conexión HDMI a DVI. My cable is 15 ft. long and I heard that the cable may be too long for the TV to pick up a signal. Mi cable es de 15 pies de largo y me enteré de que el cable puede ser demasiado largo para la TV para recoger una señal. I was also wondering if I needed a specific driver to get my computer to recognize my 50″ Samsung HDTV. También me pregunto si yo necesitaba un controlador específico para obtener mi ordenador para que reconozca mi 50 "Samsung HDTV. Thanks in advance for any advice. Gracias de antemano por cualquier consejo.

    This is exactly the same problem Im encountering..especialy when I scroll through websites. It's seems to be connected with the refresh rate of the monitor. My temporary fix is to turn off the speakers. The regular sound from the PC is fine via a digital connection….except when the TV speakers are activated. I can run games fine, play music, view DVDs…as long as that dang TV speakers are off.

    I would like to connect my Presario C700 to my TV. I used a cable with S-video connector(7 pins) on one end and 3 output (2 audio and 1 video) tulip connector on the other end to connect to my TV. However, the TV is not recognised even after I change the settings in the display properties. Do I have to download any driver for the purpose? My system uses a Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset family.

  103. akishore said on :

    Kris, you have to lower the resolution even more. Basically, if your load up screen is showing up and then disappears once Windows starts loading, it's a resolution issue. Make it even lower and then restart, something like 800×600 and change the refresh rate also.

    Hi,iv got a Toshiba laptop and iv just bought a samsung LCD HDTV. i want to watch my movies ive got on my hard-drive on the tv so i bought a DVI to HDMI cable. Now, i can get the computer image on the tv, thats fine, but its when i play the movies (using VLC Media player) that i get no image nor audio, i now know that the DVI-HDMI donsnt carry audio. but why is the VLC window blank. its playing perfectly on the laptop and the tv recognises VLC is playing the movie as the marker showing how far through the movie it is is moving correctly.

I know, I know, I should just get tivo, but this is cheaper. Although, with all the time I spend reading on-line how to set this up, the cost efficiency is decreasing daily.

    I just plugged it in, and nothing.

    I tried F8 with Fn and it flickers but that's about it.

    I put down the resolution of my laptop and that didnt work either.

Me puso a trabajar a través de un cable VGA y lo hizo por lo que la TV se reflejó en mi computadora portátil. To get to it you would click the “source” button, you pass the source “AV” and should go to one called “pc” but its not there anymore. Para llegar, tiene que hacer clic en el botón "Fuente", se pasa de la fuente "AV" y debería ir a uno llamado "PC" pero no es allí. However, if I restart my computer and click through the sources PC shows up again. Sin embargo, si puedo reiniciar mi ordenador y haga clic en el PC a través de fuentes de muestra de nuevo. But as soon as I click source to watch tv and try to go back to pc its gone unless I reboot my computer, what gives?

He comprado un cable en ebay, 25 pies de largo, todo en uno - 3 en un extremo (rojo, blanco, amarillo) y el otro extremo es s-jack de audio y vídeo. I plugged everything in correctly, Id like to think I did (?), hit the FN & F4 key at the same time, what is on my monitor is now on my tv. Conecté todo correctamente, Id gusta pensar que no (?), Pulsa la tecla FN + F4 al mismo tiempo, lo que está en mi monitor ya está en mi TV. I found that you cannot have the movie running first, just have windows desktop showing. Me encontré con que no se puede tener la película ejecutando en un principio, sólo disponen de ventanas que muestran escritorio. Then, if you want to load a movie, just use your mouse, turn on movie from your movie player. Luego, si quieres cargar una película, sólo tiene que utilizar el ratón, a su vez en la película de tu reproductor de películas. So far, I have gotten the movie to load this way. Hasta ahora, he conseguido la película a la carga de esta manera.

    My problem is no sound. Mi problema es que no hay sonido. I still have the sound coming out of my laptop speakers. Todavía tengo el sonido que sale de los parlantes de mi computadora portátil. I have tried to change the audio settings so it does not play through laptop speakers and goes through headphone plug, where audio plug is plugged in, but still no sound coming out of tv. He intentado cambiar la configuración de audio para que no se desempeñan a través de altavoces portátil y pasa a través de conector para auriculares, conector de audio que está conectado, pero no emite sonido de la televisión.

    What am I missing? ¿Qué me estoy perdiendo? Is there perhaps another FN key or something that will send the audio out too? ¿Existe quizás otra tecla FN o algo que le enviará la salida de audio también?

    Hello everybody, Hola a todos,

    To have audio and video at same same on tv (digital one) you just have to connect the cable vga male/vga male to your computer and to the Tv ( PC In – see details of your tv on manual specifications).
    For the audio is the same, you need a audio cable 3,5jack/3,5jack and connect it to your computer ( on the sound green ) and to your Tv on the audio for PC next to the vga cable.
    Dont use the audio-in red and white because those are only for AV source (ex. a camera)
    I hope have help you to have your tv as a pc monitor for games or surfing the net.

    How to get the best audio and video if I am connecting my computer to my tv? My computer only has a vga and dvi-d connection. my tv on the other hand has a composite, s-vdeo,component, and dvi-d connections.

    I have Gateway M-Series Laptop which has VGA 15 output. I connected the laptop to my LCD TV(LG) using VGA to S-Vedio (4pin) connector and S-vedio (Female to Female) to the TV.
    I was able to change the display settings to show the desktop to external display screen. But my TV screen says no signal.
    Does the VGA output need special driver to show on TV screen?
    Please let me know if anyone knows.

    My TV (probably old) doesn't have any of the above inputs. Mine uses the 3 cables (video, left audio, right audio)
    http://www.dgkale.com/UploadFi.....625987.jpg

    And then it has like an input where you put the antenna cable (it has like a needle), maybe it's coaxial?.

    Sorry, I live in a third world country. How would I connect my computer that has HDMI, and S-Video (7 pin) to that TV?

    Hi, Hola,

    First of all, this is a great how-to explanation! Especially with the pics.

    I have connected my laptop and tv with a VGA, and the screen comes out perfect. However, the sounds doesnt come through the TV… Do I need a seperate cord for this, or is the VGA cord suppose to send sounds signals through also?

    Please advise! Por favor avise!

    Those of you who are struggling to get audio sound but are still searching for right cables that connect their incompatible lap tops and TVs, I have found a solution. I connected my laptop headphone to a small home FM transmitter that can be bought for about $20 and now I tune the audio in FM Radio.While I am still searching for the correct cable this method helps me to watch movies and videos from my laptop/pC on any TV that can be connected to my PC/Laptop. I use the same transmitter to play music in my car from my Ipod. At home all of us can hear the audio in FM radio and cell phones with radio when I play music from my laptop or Ipod. I found this to be the cheapest solution!

  203. geraldz said on :

    1. 1. If you have a new laptop with HDMI, this is your best bet. It is a digital signal and includes both audio and video. You can buy these cables at WalMart.

    2. 2. DVI is also a digital signal but it does not have audio. You will have to purchase a separate audio cable.

    3. 3. VGA/SGVA is probably your best bet. Although it is an analog signal, it provides very high quality high-definition video. Most VGA/SVGA cables don't include audio, except for a specialty PC to HDTV cable sold by PCTVCables.com. On HDTVs, this is usually called “pc input.”

    4. 4. S-video and composite video cables only carry standard-definition quality video. And you'll need a separate audio cable. I have found that a 4-pin s-video cable will work even if the jack on your computer has 7 pins.


  204. Gil said on :

    hi – we were having trouble getting a picture on my PC when connected via VGA to an HDTV – there were some suggestions earlier, but what worked for us was:

    *change the resolutions on the PC (600×800) and then hit FN/F7

    worked for us!


  205. geraldz said on :

    Gil – the VGA/SVGA cable will usually detect your HDTV because it carries the EDID (”plug and play”).
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.....ation_data

    According to Intel, your graphics controller will allow you to select the highest resolution that is available on both your PC and HDTV.

    Hello Everybody!!! Hello Everybody!

    I'm trying to connect a desktop PC to 36in LCD TV. I tried to use a splitter “Y” female to two male outputs the TV worked fine, but unfortunately my PC monitor was blurry and lost a little brightness. (I think that the signal was lost because it's not very strong and two screens are too much).
    Also, one of my friends said that I can damage one of the screens by using a VGA splitter.

    I want to buy a VGA PCI video card with one VGA output, but some people say that it wouldn't work because the PC would recognize only one video card either on-board or installed PCI video card. The only way to do this is to get a dual VGA PCI card, but it is a little expensive with the comparison to single VGA video card and I already have one on-board video card for one screen and if I buy another single VGA would it work? By the way I'm also using 25ft long extension cable from my PC to the LCD TV screen. I haven't tried connection audio 3.5MM cable but eventualy I will. My main problem is how to connect PC to TV? and my question is – I already have a video card in my PC (I hope I do) and if I buy a single VGA PCI video card would I be able to view both screens or not? Is my computer would recognize both on-board video card and newly installed VGA PCI video card??? I'm confused:(

    If anyone knows how to solve this please let me know!!!

    PLEASE HELP!!! PLEASE HELP!

    THANKS GRACIAS

    if your pc/laptop is not equipped with dvi output you can get vga to dvi adapter. just connect it to your vga on pc connect dvi to hdmi cable to adapter and tv. this is the problem i ran into since my pc doesnt have dvi output. the cable and adapter cost about $60. dont be fooled by the stores that will tell you that you need to buy an adapter that costs about $150 plus the cable cost on top of that.

    I have a HP Pavilion dx9000 computer,(Vista) and a new Samsung 1080 HD 40″ TV. I want to connect my Laptop to the TV so I can watch Netflix movies.

I need to know what cables I need to buy to connect them and where exactly I put these cables on each of my electronic devices. I would really appreciate some help. TIA TIA

    This is an amazingly busy thread. I have two other suggestions for guides about connecting PCs/Macs to TVs. One is on Amazon:

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/video.....nnect_info

    The other is on Jaman, the movie service:

    http://www.jaman.com/jaman-tv/

    However all the guides overlook the issue of the remote control. Wireless is preferred and there is one made specifically for this purpose:

It was working fine but suddenly the tv screen started turning green as soon as I connnect my laptop.When I disconnect the tv runs fine.Any advice will be helpful. thanks snd regards…a

    When I connected my Dell XPS laptop to my Toshiba 40″ HDTV with a HDMI cable, I got only video but no audio. I then pulled out the manual, and found out that I should connect the PC audio output(headphone) to the TV audio input. I did that, and still no audio! Finally I went to the on-screen menu, audio settings, and set the HDMI audio input to analog. That did the trick. Que hizo el truco. I am happy!

    The HDMI transmits both video and audio in digital format, but the PC is probably transmitting the audio in analog format still, hence the disconnect.


  283. Gable said on :

    I'm not sure VGA to HDMI can work at all because the signals are too different. Unless you buy an actual transcoder box. Maybe someone more informed can respond.
