how to connect laptop to tv
Most laptops use S video to output to the TV. If this is the
case for you then the other setting you may have to adjust
is multi monitors on your display settings. From the desktop
of Windows XP right click the background screen. Select
properties, this brings up Display properties, then select
settings, Browse the tabs to find you video card and setting
for multiple monitors. Normally you can set up you TV out as
a second monitor in a Dual monitor mode. You may have a
choice to either clone the main monitor or display something
else on the second monitor.
Most newer LCD and Plasma TV's have a RGB port in the back
for connecting a computer to the TV.
Connecting your laptop or PC to your television is pretty
simple. Just check both your computer and television to find
out what connections they have in common. If by some chance
you have no connections matching up, you can always buy
adapters to make your connection types match.
Once you’ve passed the stage of physically connecting your
computer to your television you’ll have to select the
correct input on your TV. Just like when using your DVD
player, select the input that your computer is connected to
using your remote. This input might be called something like
AV1 or AV2. You should see this on the television screen.
