Guest IT dummy Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I just bought a big TV. Was told can connect my laptop to TV. Anyone know how to do that? What is the type of cable I must buy? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkuTube Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I can't remember what is the gadget called. You can go down to UF Technology at SLS and get it from there - just tell them your specification.This may be the same issue - http://bw2.9.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=8954 Quote Click Here To Visit My Blog @ "The Blessed Life" *Let me live my life to be an instrument of 'Love', in how I speak and in how I see others* - May there be Love and Peace beyond all understanding - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oralb Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 2 ways- VGA display port, most LCD TV now comes with PC input via VGA display port. You will need a VGA to VGA cable. I understand that those LCD TV with PC input already comes with the cable- S video display port, you need the S-video to componment cable, this is harder to find, and also depends on whether your laptop has S Video output (a round port)Do note that in both cases, if you want the sound to be out from the TV, you will need to get the 3.5mm headphone jack to componment cable.Componment cable consists of the white/yellow and red port. You will find those ports in all TV.Personal experiencesif you using the LCD TV to do computer work like spreadsheet etc, VGA offers sharper display.if you using the laptop to provide avi movies, S Video option provides a better picture.
