Connecting your laptop to your TV is much easier than you probably think. With the increase of programs available online, more and more people are turning towards their laptops to view programs. That's what I did, but I also have a large TV in my living room and I wanted to watch this programming on the big screen. So after much research I found the two easiest ways to connect your laptop to your TV.
Unfortunately, most websites, especially tech websites, are very confusing and don't make it very easy to understand how to connect your laptop to your TV. I am going to simplify things for you. There are two really easy ways to do this.
Here is the easiest way to connect your laptop to your TV. Check on your laptop for a HDMI port. If you have an HP you probably have one of these ports. If you do, you need to check to see if your TV has the same exact port. Most modern TV's do. My TV is about 4 years old and it has one.
If you are not sure what a HDMI port looks like, go to Google and click on Images in the top left hand corner of the screen and type HDMI in the search box. You should see plenty of example pictures.
If you have a HDMI port on your laptop and on your TV, you're in luck. All you need to buy is a HDMI cord and plug one side into your TV and the other into your laptop. Change the channel on your TV (not your cable box) until you are on the channel that reads "HDMI." It is usually below the channel 2.
You can purchase a HDMI cable about anywhere. I bought mine at Office Depot. Best Buy, Radio Shack, Wal-Mart and Amazon.com will have these items. Do yourself a favor and don't by the cheapest cord but you also don't need to spend more than $30 for this item.
Ok, for those of you who do not have a HDMI port on your laptop, you can still connect your laptop to your TV with relative ease.
Sewell has a great little device that you can buy that you can use to connect your laptop to your TV. It costs about $40 on Amazon.com and comes with everything that you need. You can find it by searching for "Sewell PC to TV" on Amazon. It's a little black box with three wires coming out of it and its model number is "SW-23000."
Even if you have a HDMI port many of you can benefit from this Sewell device, especially if you spend a lot of time traveling. With this little device you would be able to connect your laptop up to any TV that you come across on the road.
Everyone with a laptop can use one of these two methods to connect their laptop to their TV. It really is that simple
