LCD TV computers enable you to watch movies, play games or show photos stored in your computer through your TV set. Thus you no longer have to see movies on the small screen of your laptop. You can enjoy a larger TV screen. Is that not wonderful?
How can you connect your laptop to your LCD TV to use your LCD TV computer? The process is explained below.
Some of the factors that have to be taken into consideration when connecting the laptop and the computer are their features and the cables which are compatible to both devices.
The cables which are used to connect the laptop and the TV will usually be easily available at the neighboring electronics store. You will however need to first identify which cable is compatible with both the laptop and the LCD TV. There are four types of cables which can be used to connect the LCD TV computer. They are as follows:
Using an S-video cable is the most common way of connecting the LCD TV with the computer. These are easily available and are quite cheap. S-video cables are available with four and seven pins. Check to see if both the computer and the TV have the same number of pins. If they do, you can easily use the appropriate S-video cable.
VGA cables are suitable for HDTV. They are also inexpensive and readily available. They provide a better picture and sound quality than S-video cables. However VGA ports are not frequently found on the conventional TV sets.
DVI ports are found in HDTV. However they are not a common feature in computers. DVI cables provide exceptional picture and sound quality. They are a bit expensive.
HDMI cables provide the best quality. As most laptops do not have HDMI ports, you would require a DVI-to-HDMI cable.
Once you have purchased the correct cable, you can connect your LCD TV computer and enjoy watching videos, playing games and so on.
