How to connect your Laptop/PC/Computer to your TV Comment faire pour connecter votre ordinateur portable / PC / ordinateur à votre téléviseur

Posted on June 26, 2007 at 8:50 am Posté le 26 Juin, 2007 à 8:50

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! J'écris ce post sur la manière de connecter votre PC ou votre ordinateur à un téléviseur car la semaine dernière je suis rentré d'un voyage en Inde et nous voulions montrer l'ensemble de mes photos, vidéos et à ma famille de mon ordinateur portable sur notre HDTV, mais malheureusement, je n'avait pas les cordons de rectification et ainsi après tâtonner pendant 30 minutes à essayer de connecter mon ordinateur à la TV, je devais dire à tous que leur faudrait attendre la fin de semaine prochaine! Pretty annoying considering the times we live in, it should be quite easy to connect the two together! Pretty gênant compte tenu du temps que nous vivons, il devrait être assez facile de relier les deux ensemble!

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: Alors, voici une marche rapide par le biais de toutes les méthodes que je connais (si vous en savez plus, s'il vous plaît comment) pour connecter un ordinateur portable ou votre PC à votre téléviseur:

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 - C'est probablement la méthode la plus courante là-bas actuellement, car un câble S-Video est bon marché que Heck et TV à peu près tous sous le soleil a un port S-Video. You'll have to make sure you laptop is equipped with this port. Vous aurez à vous assurer que vous ordinateur portable est équipé de ce port. Remember, there are two types of S-Video cables: 4-pin and 7-pin . Rappelez-vous, il existe deux types de câbles S-vidéo: 4 broches et 7 broches. 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 plupart des ordinateurs portables et des PC sont équipés d'un 7-Port Pin, donc si votre téléviseur ne dispose que d'un 4-pin S-Video, cette méthode ne fonctionnera pas.

2. VGA – If you have a HDTV, then you will be better off connecting using a VGA cable. 2. VGA - Si vous avez un téléviseur HD, alors vous serez mieux connexion avec un câble VGA. It gives much better quality than S-Video and as with S-Video, the cable is very cheap. Il donne bien meilleure qualité que S-Video et comme avec S-Vidéo, le câble est très bon marché. You usually won't find a VGA port on regular TV's though, so this option is if you have an HDTV. En général, vous ne trouverez pas un port VGA sur la TV est si régulier, si cette option est si vous avez un téléviseur HD.

3. DVI - DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface with “digital” being the key word there. 3. DVI - DVI signifie Digital Visual Interface avec le numérique "étant le mot clef. The digital signal will give a higher quality picture than either S-Video or VGA. Le signal numérique donnera une image de meilleure qualité que ce soit S-vidéo ou VGA. Of course, your computer will need to have a DVI connection and your TV will need to be an HDTV. Bien sûr, votre ordinateur doit disposer d'une connexion DVI et votre téléviseur devra être une télé HD. This cord is definitely not cheap, it ranges anywhere from $40 to $80. Ce cordon n'est certainement pas bon marché, elle va varier de 40 $ à 80 $.

4. HDMI – Using HDMI will give you the best quality by far. 4. HDMI - HDMI Utiliser vous donnera la meilleure qualité et de loin. 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. Pas d'ordinateurs que je ne connais pas encore disposer de ports HDMI, mais vous pouvez obtenir un câble DVI vers HDMI pour le connecter à votre téléviseur HD. HDMI is compatible with DVI. HDMI est compatible avec le 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 - Cette méthode est la dernière que j'ai pu penser et il consiste à utiliser un convertisseur de balayage, ce qui prend un signal VGA et la transforme en S-Vidéo ou vidéo composante.

Here's a graphic I created with some pictures of the various cables: Voici un graphique que j'ai créé avec quelques photos des différents câbles:

    Hi Peter, Salut Pierre,

    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. On pourrait essayer de faire quelques petites choses pour commencer: aller de l'avant et changer la résolution de votre ordinateur portable à quelque chose de plus bas, peut-être de 800 × 600, parfois à l'origine du problème. You can also change the color scheme to 24-bit if it's set to 32-bit and see if that works. Vous pouvez également changer les couleurs à 24 bits si elle est définie sur 32 bits et voir si cela fonctionne.

    Also, you said you are changing the TV to PC mode, but what about the laptop? Aussi, vous avez dit que vous changez le téléviseur en mode PC, mais qu'en est-il le portable? Sometimes, you have to press FN (function key) and F8 (the CRT/LCD) key to have the signal sent out to the TV. Parfois, il faut appuyer sur FN (touche de fonction) et F8 (CRT / LCD) clé ait le signal envoyé au téléviseur.

    Let me know if these three things work or not! Faites-moi savoir si ces trois choses travail ou pas!

    Thanks Merci

    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, le plus simple et de loin la meilleure façon que j'ai vu est de fixer les timings avance sur un pc juste à droite et utilisez un câble VGA à SCART (Peut-être avec de l'audio d'entre vous n'ont pas le PC relié à un système audio de quelque sorte). This is a nerdy approach but you get superb results for little money with stuff that's standard on both the TV and PC. Cette approche est ringard, mais vous obtenez des résultats superbes pour peu d'argent avec des choses, de série sur l'écran, et PC. You can also get dvi to s-video or CVBS to make it happen. Vous pouvez également obtenir DVI vers s-video ou CVBS pour y arriver.

    One on my favorite ways is to just stream it to my TV via a computer that is hooked up via DVI. Un à ma façon préférée est à seulement écouter à mon téléviseur via un ordinateur qui est relié via DVI. This way you can have a silent, efficient and small htcp that can stream over your wan. De cette façon vous pouvez avoir un HTCP silencieux, efficace et petites, qui peuvent écouter sur votre WAN.

    Hope it helps 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. J'essayais littéralement à la figure à ce sujet il ya quelques heures au Circuit City, pour mon ami qui vient d'avoir une TV HD pour son dortoir. 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. Si j'avais su que certains de cette info pour vous, alors je lui ai dit de mettre tout son argent pour de meilleures choses comme une 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 Il lui manque un port DVI sur son portable pour qu'il cant vraiment obtenir la qualité qu'il pense byuseing la tv hd comme moniteur

    Hi, Salut,

    Great tip! Grande pointe! I just read about a great place to buy cables in the August Issue of Smart Money Magazine. Je viens de lire sur un grand endroit pour acheter des câbles dans le numéro d'août du magazine Smart Money. The web site is monoprice.com. Le site web est monoprice.com. I do not have any affiliation with them. Je n'ai aucune affiliation avec eux. I was able to purchase a gold plated HDMI to DVI 15ft cable for $6.30 + $7 shipping! J'ai pu acheter un plaqué or HDMI vers DVI 15ft câble pour 6,30 $ + frais de 7 $! WOW! WOW!
    Can't wait to try this when I get it. Can't wait to try this, quand je l'obtenir.
    Thanks again. Merci encore.

    Hi, Salut,

    I also have a question: J'ai aussi une 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). J'ai un portable MacBook Pro avec une sortie DVI avec un adaptateur vers VGA; à l'heure actuelle l'ordinateur portable est connecté à un écran computor externe (avec l'adaptateur 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). Toutefois, je tiens à le brancher à ma TV, un Panasonic (pas un modèle récent) avec deux entrées Péritel et d'une S-Vidéo (4 broches). Would there be a way to make it hapen? Y aurait-il un moyen pour y arriver? (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) (J'ai asqued dans quelques magasins et les gens m'ont dit que connecter le Mac ne serait pas possible, mais je ne sais pas si ils savaient ce qu'ils disaient)

    I tried following all of your advice, but the tv says NO SIGNAL. J'ai essayé de suivre tous vos conseils, mais que le téléviseur dit pas de signal.

    since my laptop doesnt have a dvi port, i'm using a vga-dvi converter. depuis mon doesnt portables ont un port DVI, j'utilise un adaptateur VGA-DVI converter. then i'm using a dvi-hdmi converter to connect to the tv, but it still doesn't work. alors je suis en utilisant un convertisseur DVI-HDMI pour le connecter à la TV, mais cela ne fonctionne toujours pas.

    i've tried using the Fn + F8 key, but that didn't work… any ideas? J'ai essayé d'utiliser les touches Fn + touche F8, mais cela ne fonctionne pas ... des idées?

    I have a Tevion 32″ LCD TV, my computer has 3 outputs, 1xVGA, 1xDVI, 1xS-Video. J'ai un Tevion 32 "TV LCD, mon ordinateur a 3 sorties, 1xVGA, 1xDVI, 1xS-Vidéo. I bought a DVI-D cable (5 metres) and a DVI to HDMI Adaptor to connect the computer and the TV. J'ai acheté un câble DVI-D (5 mètres) et un adaptateur DVI à HDMI pour connecter l'ordinateur et le téléviseur.

    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. La vidéo fonctionne très bien mais bien sûr je ne peux obtenir aucun son depuis la TV ne semble pas avoir une entrée audio liées à l'entrée vidéo HDMI. Is there any other work arounds to get audio to work in this case? Y at-il de contourner les autres pour obtenir audio à travailler dans cette affaire?

    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. S'il n'y a pas que je vais juste faire un adaptateur DVI vers VGA et un câble VGA de 5 mètres et connectée à ma TV et utiliser l'audio "3.5mm PC dans" pour connecter l'audio. How much worse will the video look using VGA instead of DVI? Combien pire va regarder la vidéo VGA à l'aide au lieu de DVI?

    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 Oh et j'ai oublié de mentionner les entrées TV sont 1xVGA, 1xHDMI, 1 × 3.5mm audio PC, 1xS-Video et tout un tas de ports composites

    Hi All, Salut tous,

    Im kinda in the same position as Nick H. Firstly i connected by 32″ LCD HDTV to my computer via a S-Video cable. Kinda Im dans la même situation que Nick H. Tout d'abord je me suis relié par 32 "LCD HDTV à mon ordinateur via un câble S-Vidéo. After playiong around with the options i got it working but it wasnt very clear. Après playiong autour avec les options I Got It wasnt de travail mais elle très claire. 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. Je veux me connecter mon ordinateur à mon téléviseur en utilisant un câble DVI mais je ne peux pas faire ça comme je l'ai seulement 1 sortie DVI de ma carte vidéo et qui est connecté à mon écran. So i was thinking of using the spare VGA output from my video card to connect to my LCD TV. Donc je pensais de l'utilisation de la sortie VGA de rechange de ma carte vidéo pour connecter à ma TV LCD. What do you guys think? Qu'est-ce que 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? Aurais-je obtenir une meilleure qualité de VGA alors S-Video et combien aussi d'une différence serait-il si j'ai branché DVI Insted?


  19. Bob M said on : Bob M a dit le:

    Mike. Mike. You cannot go the other way as far as I know. Vous ne pouvez pas aller dans l'autre autant que je sache. You will need a TV Tuner card to capture the TV signal on your computer. Vous aurez besoin d'une carte TV tuner pour capter le signal TV sur votre ordinateur. I have the Nvidia DualTV MCE card and it works awesome. J'ai l'DualTV carte Nvidia MCE et cela fonctionne awesome. You do need to be running Windows MCE or the top end Vista. Vous ne devez exécuter Windows MCE ou l'extrémité supérieure Vista. I think ATI video capture/TV tuner cards will work with XP. Je crois que la capture vidéo ATI / cartes tuner TV fonctionne avec XP. You can then use your computer as a pvr. Vous pouvez ensuite utiliser votre ordinateur comme un PVR. You will need lots of harddrive space as the video files are big. Vous aurez besoin de beaucoup d'espace de disque dur que les fichiers vidéo sont grands. With MCE a 1 hr show is about 3.5gb in size in the best quality. Avec MCE un spectacle 1 h est d'environ 3,5 Go de la taille de la meilleure qualité. They record in dvr.ms format. Ils enregistrent en format dvr.ms. Other cards probably save the files in a different file format that are smaller in size. D'autres cartes sans doute mettre les fichiers dans un autre format de fichier de plus petite taille.

    Hi all Salut à tous

    Well, I too have some problems trying to connect my PC to my television. Eh bien, moi aussi j'ai quelques problèmes en essayant de connecter mon PC à mon téléviseur. The TV is a pretty recent Philips CRT screen with S-video and composite (yellow, white, red cinch). La TV est un assez récent Philips écran CRT avec S-vidéo et composite (jaune, blanc, rouge cinch). When I boot my PC, I can see the whole hardware control, including the windows load screen on the tv. Quand je démarre mon PC, je peux voir le contrôle de l'ensemble du matériel, y compris les fenêtres de l'écran de chargement sur le téléviseur. 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. Mais lorsque le PC montre effectivement Windows (si le journal de l'écran ( "Bienvenue utilisateur"), et ensuite mon bureau) le téléviseur répond que les lignes horizontales qui blip de temps en temps.
    I have tried to change my resolution on primary AND secondary monitors, changed Hz, switched cables, swiched signal, etc… J'ai essayé de changer ma résolution sur le primaire et des moniteurs secondaires, a changé Hz, les câbles sous tension, signal swiched, etc ...

    notthing seems to help. notthing semble aider. The only thing i have, is sound comming from TV, and thats it. La seule chose que je avoir, est son provenant de la télévision, and thats it.
    Anyone some suggestions ? N'importe quelques suggestions?

    Many Thanks Un grand Merci

    Hi, Salut,

    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 vous avez besoin pour obtenir le son de votre ordinateur ou ordinateur portable à la TV, vous devez utiliser un autre câble en plus de l'ordinateur au câble TV.

    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. Le câble pour transférer le son de votre ordinateur à votre téléviseur est appelé un mini-stéréo 3,5 mm mâle vers deux RCA male speaker Cable. Search for that in Google and you will find a bunch. Recherche pour cela dans Google et vous trouverez un peloton.

    Now you'll be able to see the picture and get sound from your laptop to the TV. Maintenant, vous serez en mesure de voir l'image et obtenir de son de votre ordinateur portable à la TV.

    Hi, I recently bought a 42 inch 1080p lcd tv for my dorm room and I want to connect mydesktop to it. Salut, j'ai récemment acheté un 42 pouces 1080p tv lcd pour ma chambre d'étudiant et je veux me connecter mydesktop à elle. However, for some reason the computer will only go to 1280 by 1024 with blue vga to vga cable. Toutefois, pour une raison quelconque, l'ordinateur ne fera de 1280 par 1024 avec VGA bleu au câble VGA. is it possible to go 1920 by 1080 with this cable? Est-il possible d'aller de 1920 par 1080 avec ce câble? If not, I have a hdmi to dvid cable but this does not seem to be working Si non, j'ai un câble HDMI vers DVI-D, mais cela ne semble pas fonctionner

    Hello. Bonjour. A couple of people on here have the same issue as me but their problems were never addressed. Un couple de personnes ici ont le même problème que moi, mais leurs problèmes n'ont jamais été abordées. My TV won't recognize my computer via HDMI to DVI connection. Ma TV ne reconnaît pas mon ordinateur via connexion HDMI vers 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. Mon câble est de 15 m de long et j'ai entendu que le câble de mai-être trop longue pour la télévision à capter un signal. I was also wondering if I needed a specific driver to get my computer to recognize my 50″ Samsung HDTV.

    I have tried the following already: J'ai essayé ce qui suit déjà:

    Updated my graphics card with the latest drivers (ATI Mobility Radeon 9700) Mise à jour ma carte graphique avec les derniers pilotes (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) Varied la résolution d'écran de 1024 × 768 @ 60 Hz à 800 × 600 (le manuel précise que le téléviseur est optimale à 1380 × 768 @ 60Hz, et supporte les résolutions ci-dessous présente)
    Changed the configuration of the screens ie extend desktop, clone desktop etc… Modifié la configuration des écrans à-dire étendre de bureau, etc bureau clone ...

    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. Je suis perplexe parce que l'ordinateur portable reconnaît que le plasma est connecté (car il détecte le nom de l'plasmatiques observées) et lorsqu'il est connecté, le plasma affiche brièvement le bureau (pendant environ 0.5s) avant d'afficher un noir (en blanc) à l'écran.

    I live in Korea and have a samsung PAVV 40Inch LCD TV.
    My HP laptop is not bought Korea though. When I connect my Laptop to the LCD TV using the 16 pin VGA connector I get both the picture and sound, but the colour is all messed up. The laptop monitor colour is normal , but the TV screen colour is pinkish.
    What could be the reason and what can I do to get the normal colours on LCD TV screen too. The TV Usere Manual is all in Korean and therefore of no use to me.

    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.

  103. akishore akishore said on : a dit le:

    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.

Je veux regarder mes films Ive a obtenu sur mon disque dur sur le téléviseur donc j'ai acheté un câble HDMI vers DVI. 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. Maintenant, je peux obtenir l'image de l'ordinateur sur le téléviseur, thats fine, mais son quand je joue au cinéma (avec VLC Media player) que je n'obtiens pas d'image ni son, je sais maintenant que l'adaptateur DVI-HDMI donsnt transport du son. but why is the VLC window blank. Mais pourquoi la fenêtre vide VLC. 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. sa joue parfaitement sur le portable et le téléviseur reconnaît VLC est la lecture du film en tant que marqueur de la projection dans quelle mesure par l'intermédiaire du film, il est est en mouvement correctement.

  127. RQ007 said on :

    I bought a cable on ebay, 25ft long, all in one – 3 on one end (red, white, yellow) and the other end is s-video and audio jack. 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. I found that you cannot have the movie running first, just have windows desktop showing. Then, if you want to load a movie, just use your mouse, turn on movie from your movie player. So far, I have gotten the movie to load this way.

    My problem is no sound. I still have the sound coming out of my laptop speakers. 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.

    What am I missing? What am I missing? Is there perhaps another FN key or something that will send the audio out too?


  128. RQ007 said on :

    I tried to post another comment so if this is a duplicate – sorry.

    After trying and trying here is what I came up with to get my sound to work. If you have speakers plugged into your laptop, unplug them. I had a speaker plugged into my usb port, and had the wire plugged from tv to headset jack – as soon as I unplugged my usb speaker, the sound went to the television.

    Hope this helps! Hope this helps! :)

    Hello everybody, Bonjour tout le monde,

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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! travaillé pour nous!


  205. geraldz geraldz said on : a dit le:

    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!!!

    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!!!

Could it be becuase is a DVI-D? Does that have anything to do with it? Est-ce que quelque chose a à voir avec ça? Whats the difference bewteen DVI-D and DVI?
    If anyone knows, I would aprreciate your help.
    Thanks Merci

    Ok I have a problem with connecting my computer to my TV My computer has a VGA connection port but my TV doesn't, and my computer doesn't have an S Video port but my TV does.

    I didn't want to get into buying anything too expensive since I probably won't be using it very often. Would there be a way o connect my computer to my TV through my DVD player or a VCR? (neither of which have a VGA connection port.)

    Thanks I appreciate any help you could offer

    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.

    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


  282. Lu said on :

    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. 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.
