Introduction
Many people find it useful to use a television as a display for their laptop. The larger screen makes it easier for others to view the same material, rather than having to crowd around a small laptop. Connecting your laptop to a television is useful for many other reasons as well. Laptops can be used as DVD players to watch movies, or you can connect a game controller to your laptop and play games on your television's larger screen. Fortunately, there are only a few simple steps to connecting a laptop to a television.
Non-HD Connection
Depending on the type of television you have, there are different cables that you will need in order to connect the laptop to the television.
For an older non-HD television, you'll most likely use either an S-Video cable or an "S-Video to RCA" adapter cable. When you have the cable, simply plug one end into the S-Video Out port on your laptop, and the other into the S-Video In on your television.
If you are using an "S-Video to RCA" adapter cable, you'll need to plug the cable into the S-Video Out on your laptop, and then plug one end of an RCA cable into the adapter, and the other end into the Video-In on your television.
HD Connections
For High Definition televisions, there are a few more options for connecting the laptop. Most new laptops have an HDMI-Out port, making them very easy to connect to HDTVs; simply plug an HDMI cable into the laptop and television.
You can also use the DVI or VGA ports on your laptop to connect to an HDTV, though you might need to use an adapter to convert them to HDMI, if your TV doesn't have those connections. If your laptop does not have an HDMI or DVI connection, but you still want to view High-Definition content, you can use an "S-Video to Component Video" adapter. This is similar to the S-Video to RCA adapter, but supports HD resolutions.
