- Many of today's TVs use HDMI, DVI, or VGA. Here is how you can easily connect your PC to a High-Definition TV. Using HDMI or DVI cable will provide the best results. Be advised an adapter may be required to interconnect a PC to a TV.

God I seriously want to cry because you take sooooo long to get to the point. I love that you’re so throughly explaining but… damn
It will depend on the connections the TV will accept. VCR and DVD Players can connect to the TV using A/V RCA cables. Many Blu-ray players also use these cables. For A/V connections you can use an A/V switch that will allow you to switch between the devices. as a last resort you can get HDMI converters for the connection needed for the tv. -MrFixit
What type of HDMI cable, Standard, Standard with Ethernet, High Speed, or High Speed with Ethernet, do you use?
Where's a good place to get the adapter you used in this fine video
Thanx a lot man ...thumbs up
When I try to connect my laptop to my tv w/hdmi, I do everything that you have said... PLUS what other similar videos stated, but I still have the problem of my tv screen "flickering in and out" and never staying on. I have done resolution and tried to follow all instructions, yet with same problem. If you could, give me suggestions to fix this problem. This happens on both televisions and have changed hdmi to all 5 ports with no success. Help please!
Very helpful video thanks.
My tv has a vga port and my secondary output from my computer hooks up fine at 1080. MY question is, if I get a digital converter to use the hdmi ports of the TV will I see an improvement or will it just look like the soft analog VGA signal I am already getting?
great video I have all ways hooked my computer to my tv with hdmi no problem. I bought a new 55 Samsung and a Samsung dvd plus my cable box. but now when I try to play my computer through the tv it wont work. if I play a cd rom that will come up on my tv fine. but if I go to lets say amazon prime as soon as I click on a video the picture on the tv only shows my home page and the mouse only scrolls on my tv set and not my computer. the sound works on both.same thing on you tube .any ideas? thanks nick
go to control panel you have windows mobile center it has settings for connect display
Thanks 🙏 Bro
Thanks
He thought he was Albert Einstein when he made this vid😂😂😆
Awesome Video - again!
Maybe you could do a video on streaming? We got rid of cable and only stream through a "Roku" box and another brand. However, the local cable started offering all the TV channels via the Internet on their homepage. Isn't there a device that would allow the streaming of those programs without a direct hookup such as this?

Useful Lesson..
So I'm trying to connect my desktop tower to my tv to use as a monitor. I dont have a monitor period but was given this tv so what can I do to use vga cable to connect the two together so it shows up on my screen?
On my PC windows 7, Fedora 22 Linux and Mageia linux 6 latest version are installed. My PC is having HDMI, DVI and VGA output
ports. Now the PC ic connected to my TV (Leeco 55" Led) via HDMI. Win 7 & Fedora 22 systems are working fine. Other Linux system hangs at "LOg IN" Screen . PC must be restarted . No sound problem . What is wrong?.
Where did u buy that connector
They show how to hook laptop to TV but they don't show how to control TV, do you control movies with lap top? will a TV remote still work?
is their a sound ..driver for hdmi and pc????
nice intro really its cool
You kind of sound like Hank Hill from "King of The Hill tv show" LOL
thats dvi to hdmi..is a converter better?
Mr. FixIt...How do I get sound from Samsung Tv (using as a monitor with HDMI) and my older PC (with VGA and HDMI adapter)? I have been told that I do not need an audio cable because the HDMI cable should carry sound, but it sounds like you are suggesting that I do need an audio cable because I am using the adapter, just like you demonstrate in this video. My set up with my cables are exactly like this demo. I just want to hear sound from my computer through my Samsung TV monitor. Help???
VGA does not carry the audio channels like HDMI. There are adapters that will convert the VGA into HDMI with the added Audio input. They can be powered by the USB or a standalone power adapter for about $15. You'll need a VGA to HDMI w/Audio adapter.
GOOD JOB
I was able to connect my pc to my flat screen TV via an HDMI cable as both my pc & my flat screen has an HDMI port.
Hey, I got an issue connecting cables to my samsung UHD 55 7series Smart TV to my desktop.. most videos show either Laptop connection only which does not help since you can see what you're doing to mirror your pc image to your tv screen... but do not show Desktop PC connections where you're blind connecting things and trying to mirror the PC screen to your TV..and they forget the fact that if they're showing that it means they already have an image mirrored..buit what about explaining the part where you sill don't have an image on your TV and trying to get signal and it only says to check your cable connections and know you have followed several instructions from several videso and none worked.. ? Please help? My last hope is to order a DVI to HDMi adapter...yet I have already a VGA 2 HDMi adapter and HDMi 2 AV and none worked or at least couldn't figure how to connect cos most videos are either in Hindi or in Indian english where you can't understand a thing either cos of the accent of cos of the background loud music... HELP please... thanks!!=)
A little more depth explaining connection variations would be very helpful
I tried this and no picture will show just a black screen im using hdmi cords
where is pin bought
When i do this the zoom on the pc is so big you cant to anything
Okay
he seems nice
Hello my TV don't have VGA port and my V. card don't have HDMI port, so I bought VGA to HDMI cable and did everything you said, but the TV just stays on black screen. What should I do (I did the control panel settings, I did set it on the VGA port)
If you bought a VGA to HDMI adapter, it should have a separate power cord. Some power from a USB connection and others use a wall power adapter. It needs power to convert VGA into HDMI.
@@ESRepair OK, thank you,I think I got bamboozled 'cause they gave me just a cable.
Could have had more light,otherwise informative.
tk dude well explained, thump up for you
Thx for the thumbs up. -MrFixit

i hear sound coming out of tv but just the screen saver shows up
try changing the Display mode to Duplicate or Show on 2 only.
Tried doing this with a VGA cable. I plugged one end of the VGA cable into the tower and the other end into an HDMI converter. Then plugged the converter into an HDMI port on the TV but the TV isn't reading a signal. What am I doing wrong?
The VGA to HDMI adapters requires power to convert analog into digital. They usually can be connected to a power source using either a USB adapter or wall adapter.
@@ESRepair Thanks. I eventually figured out a way. I used my old flat screen that had a VGA port (my new smart TV doesn't have one) and just used a straight VGA chord and audio chord.
You have full HDTV (1080)res but you have set it to (720)res, why use an inferior resolution to what TV can use ?
Len Hockley I guess he wants the computer screen on the TV to be bigger
He could have done all that adjustment on 1080p also.
My computer pc has a HDMI can use that ?
Yes, you can use HDMI if the PC and the TV has one.
VGA to HDMI cord
No cabla. Home network. Please
I connected my laptop to my TV and it worked at first. but my son closed the laptop screen and when i tried to connect again it didn't work. the TV shows only a computer window and I can hear the sound but the pictures doesn't display. what's wrong with it and ho can I fix it?
Swahili 101 I had to turn mirroring on my laptop display unless your computer goes into sleep mode
What about audio?????
If the GPU suppoets HDMI v1.4 the Audio is transmitted via the same cable as the video. DVI and VGA require a separate auido cable to either the TV or external speakers or a surround system.
that PC of his is somewhat OLD, most all desktop PCs these days have HDMI ports
OK...can you help me with this..
I love to watch tv in bed..so I have my tv in my room connected with both a dvd player and vcr....NOW what I want to do is hook up my blu ray player , but still keep the vcr and the dvd player connected as well, so basically I want all 3 to be connected so I can use whatever when I want..ONLY thing is my tv that is in my room has no HDMI connector ...

hahaha. whole thing might have work a lot better if the video card was set to the native resolution of the plasma @ 1920x1080 like he mentioned at the beginning instead of 1280 x720p.
Nothin shows on my screen

Same here. Already pluged my HDMI from my desktop to my LCD TV, but when i turned my LCD TV, nothing showed up.
NeZ CooL they recommend to have the tv on and the monitor off so that it can pick it up
then u did it wrong ha
1minute 17 seconds of wasted intro. Just start the show!~
Except you can't see Safe Mode on External Monitor
Not while in safe mode. When Windows is in safe mode it only loads the basic drivers are loaded including the graphics. Windows can only use the Primary display adapter. Why are you needing Safe mode?
I need to fix something in Safe Mode, but my PC screen is cracked, I can still use the HDMI to connect TV in Normal Mode as your video and there is no problem to using the PC except not in Safe Mode. Any alternative solution ?
Oh my God...what ever happened to PnPlay??
Pier they patched it
That a single link Dvi...theres 5 types...
Technically there are only 4 types. DVI-A is rarely ever used. GPUs often use Dual-link DVI-I while others used Dual-link DVI-D. DVI-I Carries both Analog and Digital signals and DVI-D is pure Digital. Single link is used for up to 1980x1200 resolution and Dual-link is used for up to 2560x1600 resolution which is just below 4K resolution and DVI cannot carry Audio channels. Hence why HDMI is preferred over DVI.
SO, I'm not guood at technology and you didn't tell me WHERE I go to change WHAT on the tv and laptop? You're like at step 5 and totally didn't explain steps 1 - 4.
use yr remote controller to get to your tv settings
remember different TVs have different setting so it may not appear the way u see it in the vid
try your luck
I have a SAMSUNG TV
''OMG'' GET WITH IT
