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.

  • 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?

  • Lastly, I wanted to say that "Is there a way, I want a cable to turn an HDMI output into a VGA dad + AUDIO? (I mean to have sound)

    • 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

    • See in the section "Similar articles" under the tutorial, "Connecting the phone to the TV with an MHL adapter or directly via HDMI" click on that text and you will reach the tutorial that interests you. The first part of the tutorial showed how to connect a tablet.

  • Hi. Is there a sound setting (we play a movie on PC and one on TV and each has its own sound)?
    Thank you!

  • Hello,
    I need help, I have a smart tv. which I can't set as I want due to vision problems and I ask you if it is possible to set it with / via your laptop. at least make a copy of the user guide on your laptop.

  • I think the answer to the first question is "no". Most people want to play back an image from a laptop on a TV. The answer to the second question is "yes". Moreover, you do not have to make a copy of the user manual, which can be found for download 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 to a site where you can download the manual.

  • 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

    • A tutorial coming soon with Miracast. It is like WiDi and no.
      In WiDi is a protocol pairing devices more in particular.
      Soon we will definitely make a tutorial and first WiDi but the tutorial will be posted Miracast.

  • Adrian how can you change my email address after intreaba.videotutorial.ro me for my email address was blocked.
    You can help me change my email address after intreaba.videotutorial.ro or at least disable my eNd username.
    Thank you so much Adrian!!

    • 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.
