Computer到您的電視

張貼在2007年6月26日在8:50上午

歡迎 網上技術技巧一種巨大資源為計算機講解，技術新聞、軟件回顧和個人電腦技巧。如果您這裡在新的，并且您喜歡內容，您能訂閱對我 RSS飼料得到每日技巧。感謝參觀!

我寫着這個崗位關於怎樣連接您的個人計算機或計算機到電視，因為我從一次旅行在印度上星期回來了并且想顯示所有我的圖片和錄影對我家從我的膝上計算機我們的HDTV，但不幸地我沒有正確繩子，并且如此在摸索30分鐘以後設法連接我的計算機到電視，我必須告訴大家他們將必須等待直到下週末! 相當討厭就我們居住的時代而論，它應該是相當容易一起連接二!

那麼這一快走通過我知道的所有方法(如果您知道，請評論)連接膝上計算機或個人計算機到您的電視：

1. S錄影 -這大概是最共同的方法那裡當前，因為S錄影纜繩是便宜的作為哎呀，并且關於每臺電視在太陽之下有S錄影口岸。您將必須確定您膝上計算機裝備以這個口岸。記住，那裡是S錄影纜繩的二個類型： 4別針和7別針. 多數膝上計算機和個人計算機的裝備以7別針口岸，因此，如果您的電視只有一個4別針S錄影口岸，然後這個方法不會工作。

2. VGA -，如果您有HDTV，然後您將是好連接使用VGA纜繩。它比S錄影給更好質量和和用S錄影，纜繩非常便宜的。您在規則電視雖則通常不會發現一個VGA口岸，因此這個選擇是，如果您有HDTV。

3. DVI - DVI代表 數字式可視界面 以「數字式」是關鍵詞那裡。數字信號比S錄影或VGA將給一張更加優質的圖片。 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

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

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

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?

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

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?

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.

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

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?
