How to connect a computer to a TV
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 by KatWe’ve looked at getting the internet on your TV in a previous blog post, but what if you want to watch films downloaded to your laptop on your TV, play games on a really big screen or show off your holiday snaps in style? Today we’ll look at connecting your computer to your TV.
Step 1: Check your connections
There are several different ways to connect your computer to your TV, depending on what kind of sockets there are on your laptop/desktop and TV. There will be quite a lot of variation depending on the age and model of your computer and your TV. I’ve listed the possible ways of connecting in order of increasing image quality.
Composite/RCA
This is the most old-fashioned kind of connection, found as standard on older TVs and computers. There are three plugs and sockets: white for the left stereo audio, red for the right stereo audio and yellow for composite video. This kind of cable can be found very cheaply.
