Working on a laptop all day can be exhausting, especially when you’re staring at a small screen. Luckily, modern PCs can easily be connected to a TV, giving you a larger display without sacrificing the functionality of your laptop.
When it comes to connecting your laptop to your TV, using an HDMI cable is the most reliable method, although we’ll also explore wireless connectivity options.
How to connect your laptop to a TV with an HDMI cable
The easiest way to connect a laptop to a TV is with an HDMI cable. This cable is designed to transmit digital audio and video from your computer to a TV screen. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Locate the HDMI port on your laptop, which is usually on the back or side. If your laptop doesn’t have a full-sized HDMI, you can use a mini- or micro-HDMI with an adapter.
Step 2: Connect one end of the HDMI cable to your laptop and the other end to the TV’s HDMI input. Make sure the TV’s source is set to the correct HDMI port.
Step 3: If the content doesn’t display automatically, change the TV’s input manually. Adjust the display settings on your laptop as needed.
