Modern HDTVs are compatible with your desktop or laptop computer, allowing you to access your favorite Internet streaming services or content saved on your computer and watch it in beautiful big-screen high definition. Connecting your HDTV to your computer also allows you to use it as a giant monitor, which can be useful for some work projects or gaming.
Connecting your HDTV to your computer is as easy as setting up your TV remote. Just follow these steps:
- Find out what kind of cables you’ll need. HDTVs offer a variety of connections to accommodate the many types of devices they may be connected with by users. In most cases, laptops and desktop computers will connect to your HDTV with HDMI or DVI cables, which provide the best picture quality. Some older devices may use VGA cable or S-video cable to connect. If your HDTV doesn’t have a port that fits the type of cable you need to connect to your computer, you can find adapters to allow connection.
- Once you’ve got the appropriate cables and adapters, turn off your computer and television, and connect the device to the HDTV.
- When the cable is connected, turn on the computer, then use your remote control to turn on the TV and select the appropriate input for the TV, just like you would do when using your gaming console or a DVD player. If the picture looks distorted, use your display settings on your computer to change the screen aspect ratio and resolution.
