PC to TV Connection Guide that shows you the different ways to connect your computer to your TV. It is as simple as matching the connectors on your laptop to the connectors on your television.
You can connect using cables or video converters, depending on the connections on the laptop and television.
The quality of the video is practically the same with the different video connections when you connect to an HDTV or LCD TV. If you can connect the laptop to the TV with cables, this is usually the most practical and economical solution, since converters are bigger and require a power source and cables. There is a slight difference in quality when connecting a laptop to a regular tube TV; however, the quality difference is not a big deal if you are just going to view pictures and movies.
The cable or converter that you get will depend on the available connections on your laptop and if you want to connect both the video and audio to the TV. The easiest way is to get a cable that matches the connector on your laptop with the connectors on your television.
Most laptops have the following connections:
S-Video. This usually on a 7-pin S-Video or a 4-pin S-Video connector. These are very common connectors on laptops and it the easiest and least expensive method of connecting a laptop to a TV. For both video and audio, please consider the following:
