Comment relier votre Laptop/PC/Computer à votre TV

Bienvenue à Bouts en ligne de technologie, une grande ressource pour des cours d'instruction d'ordinateur, nouvelles de technologie, revues de logiciel, et bouts de calcul personnel. Si vous êtes nouveau ici et vous aimez le contenu, vous pouvez souscrire au mon Alimentation de RSS pour obtenir des conseils quotidiens. Merci pour visiter !

J'écris ce poteau sur la façon dont relier votre PC ou l'ordinateur à une TV parce que la semaine dernière je suis retourné d'un voyage en Inde et ai voulu montrer tous mes images et videos à ma famille de mon ordinateur portable sur notre HDTV, mais malheureusement moi n'a pas eu les cordes correctes et ainsi après avoir tâté autour pendant 30 minutes essayant de relier mon ordinateur à la TV, j'ai dû dire à chacun qu'elles devraient attendre jusqu'au week-end suivant ! Assez ennuyant vu les temps que nous vivons dedans, il devrait être tout à fait facile de relier les deux ensemble !

Tellement voici un rapide marcher-à travers de toutes méthodes que je sais (si vous savez plus, svp commentaire) pour relier un ordinateur portable ou un PC à votre TV :

1. S-Vidéo - C'est probablement la méthode la plus commune dehors là actuellement parce qu'un câble de S-Vidéo est bon marché comme estacade à claire-voie et juste au sujet de chaque TV sous le soleil a un port de S-Vidéo. Vous devrez s'assurer que vous l'ordinateur portable est équipé de ce port. Rappelez-vous, là soyez deux types de câbles de S-Vidéo : goupille 4 goupille et 7. La plupart des ordinateurs portables et PCs sont équipés d'une goupille 7 gauche, ainsi si votre TV a seulement 4 une goupille port de S-Vidéo, alors cette méthode ne fonctionnera pas.

2. VGA - Si vous avez un HDTV, alors vous serez meilleur outre de se relier en utilisant un câble de VGA. Il donne une qualité bien meilleure que la S-Vidéo et comme avec la S-Vidéo, le câble est très bon marché. Vous habituellement ne trouverez pas un port de VGA sur les TV régulières cependant, ainsi cette option est si vous avez un HDTV.

3. DVI - DVI représente Interface visuelle de Digital avec être « numérique » le mot clé là. Le signal numérique donnera une image plus de haute qualité que la S-Vidéo ou le VGA. Of course, your computer will need to have a DVI connection and your TV will need to be an HDTV. This cord is definitely not cheap, it ranges anywhere from $40 to $80.

4. HDMI - Using HDMI will give you the best quality by far. 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. HDMI is compatible with 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.

Here’s a graphic I created with some pictures of the various cables:

Hope this helps someone! If you have any other ideas or suggestions, please feel free to comment!!! Thanks!

    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

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

    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 :)

    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


  7. Delahue said on :

    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.


  8. Barclay said on :

    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.

    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!

    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

    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

    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?


  14. Nick H said on :

    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

    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


  16. Mike said on :

    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?

    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 ?

    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?


  19. Bob M said on :

    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.

    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?


  21. Yogi said on :

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

    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

    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?


  24. John Ransom said on :

    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?


  25. Bob M said on :

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


  26. Roger said on :

    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?
