How to connect a TV to the computer

Hi friends, today I will show you how you can watch movies on your laptop or desktop to your TV without the need of smart TV or media player, just using a simple HDMI cable.
Probably many of you know, telvevizorul can connect to the TV, you do not know though is that you can watch movies and at the same time to do something else on the computer screen.
There are several methods of connection (display) a second monitor (TV) to the computer, each method has its advantages and is made for a specific task, in large methods are:
Single
Method used if you want to use your laptop to another monitor or a TV, where it must choose on which screen will display everything. It is useful when you want to use a larger screen than the one it has laptop, or if you simply have a laptop with a broken screen that still want to use it.
Clone
This method displays the same content on screens 2 or 3 method aste a presentation useful if you want to display the contents on the computer screen on a larger screen or projected image using a projector.
Extend
This method is preferred if you want to use both screens for different tasks, for example in the first screen and watch a movie on the the second is working on a document or edit something.
These are the most important methods of display, depending on the manufacturer of graphics chip and graphics card power, small differences can have or extra functions.
Some performance graphics cards allow you to con 3 or 4 monitors for a panoramic experience.
What I widgets using for setup?
1. A laptop
2. A TV with HDMI slot
3. An HDMI cable
In the tutorial you more details and some sound settings, please watch carefully.
If somehow you do not have a TV with HDMI, I invite you to watch acetyl Older tutorial that I made a connection between desktop and video analog CRT TV.

  1. hmm .... super simple. I connected a TV through the scart socket.

  2. How can I connect a PS3 only a VGA input monitor?
    PS3 the hdmi out so ,, signal (audio and video signal from one input for scart and three jacks) but the problem is that you can connect to VGA monitor only do I sound, which bother me very very hard .
    Is there any way I want to turn cable assembly HDMI output VGA + video father?

  3. Lastly I wanted to say that “Is there any way, I want cable to turn an HDMI output into a VGA dad + AUDIO? (meaning to have sound)

    • Adrian Gudus said

      You can not, as was said in the video, VGA and you can not transmit sound. I do not see why you would tangle with some active speakers connected to PS3 and kept near the monitor or even a sound system connected to PS2.1 3

    Hello,
    I need help, I have a smart tv. you can not set it as I want because of vision problems and ask if its possible I set with / through your laptop or. at least, to make a copy of the user guide on the laptop.

  7. I think the answer to the first question is "no". Most people want to play back images from a laptop on a TV without dreaming. The answer to the second question is "yes". Moreover, you do not have to make a copy of the user manual, which can be downloaded on the internet in pdf format. If you tell us the name of the TV (eg Samsung 32ES5500) maybe we can help you with a link from a site where you can download the manual.

  8. Please make a tutorial with Intel WiDi, have a TV that supports Intel WiDi toshiba not know how to connect it to your computer. pa

  10. An AV receiver setup, pc, tv, system 5.1 think you can do?
    Thank you.

    • It's quite complicated because you have to have all the tools, and currently do not have.
      In the future we will definitely do something like that but not in the near future.
      Such a configuration I want to do and I can work something out eventually. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Good evening! look forward and at no hdmi connection or other wiring; I refer to the the media server. Thank you

  12. Good but if you can make a tutorial on a way to connect the TV wirelessly laptopu nice thanks

  13. It can adjust the sound output and of each program. The advantage is that you can play a movie on the TV and computer you can listen to music or whatever.

    • It is possible, at least if you want to listen to music with winamp for example, set as the main sound card the HDMI (control panel - sound) and in winamp set as output the sound card from the computer (Option - Preferences - Output - NullSoft Directsound output) in this way the movie runs on tv and on the pc you listen to the music from winamp orin the pc's sound card, there are other ways, you can try the other way around, you set the normal soundtrack from the pc as default and in the program with you watch the movie you choose the sound card output from HDMI. A good day !

    Hello!
    I have a PC that has a Nvidia GeForce 9500 no HDMI output. I connected both PC monitor and LED TV (LG 32LV3550) with two DVI outputs on the video card. Of course, in both cases, I used to convert the dvi plug in VGA (monitor has DVI and VGA and TV output VGA and HDMI). So using in both cases 2 VGA cables.
    The problem is that the TV screen may not perfectly centered image, ie has a black stripe 2-3 cm on the left.
    I walked in the video card settings .. In vain… the image moves left to right… but to the left… that stripe remains.
    I walked in the resolution settings rezolutie..indiferent use can not solve that annoying problem for the viewer. I used all the methods I listed above tutorial (main monitor, secondary expanded clone) but no result.
    The monitor has a resolution of 1680 × 1050 and the TV is Full HD. The monitor has on the panel a button for automatic adjustment and centering of the image, but the TV does not have such a thing.
    Can you help me somehow? With some advice? The video card has a fault?
    Please give me an answer.
    Thank you!

    hello! I connected the HDMI cable to the laptop and the TV, and when I give the screen resolution appears a single display, not two. that could be the cause? thanks

    • webdan said

      First of all, you have to make sure that the HDMI cable is functional, and that it is securely fastened at both ends. Secondly, orient yourself to find the right method with which you will set the video card program to display either "mirror" or "extension", or if you have the "levitation" option you are the coolest!

  40. good tutorial. a question: I have a video card radeon Shape r7 boost 240gb ddr1 3 128 with VGA output bit-dvi -hdmi. I hooked Laun vga crt monitor. URL lg tv and hdmi cable. when I enter the single screen resolution gives me the option to 1 2 it doubles these screens.
