With so much television now available from online streaming you can see why people want to connect the computer to the television. Many broadcasters offer online content with large companies like the BBC in the UK offering it's iplayer online. With BBC iplayer you can scroll through the previous weeks television programs and watch the content online. The only downside is the size of you computer monitor. many people do not like watching television on a computer screen. The perfect solution is to connect the computer to the TV. But just how easy is it to connect your PC to your TV to view content on a larger screen. Well the answer is, it's not too difficult. It all depends on the connections you have on the TV and PC. The easiest and most straight forward way is by using a HDMI cable, however not all computers have HDMI capability. The other option for laptop to tv is to use a VGA cable and a separate audio cable.
The simplest method for computer to TV connection is with the use of a HDMI cable. These cables carry both audio and video, you can simply plug the cable from the computer to the TV. Almost every modern television has High Definition Multimedia Interface sockets known as HDMI. A common problem with this method is that many computers are not supplied with HDMI sockets. You can buy a HDMI add on card for both a laptop and desktop tv, this then gives your computer a HDMI socket. These add on cards cost around twenty five pounds in the UK.
Unfortunately if your laptop or desktop computer does not have HDMI there is no single laptop to TV cable. You will need to use a VGA monitor cable. Your computer should have a 15 pin socket which consists of three rows of five holes. Many modern flat screen televisions also have this type of socket, it's often labeled "PC IN". As VGA does not carry audio you will need a separate cable for sound. you can use the headphone socket on the computer and connect that to the "Aux In" socket on the television. It's important to select the correct channel on the TV, this is usually "PC IN". You may need to restart the computer after you have connected the computer to TV cable. A computer to tv cable kit will cost from ten pounds in the United Kingdom. This price is dependant on length required and the quality of the cables used.
