How To Watch Computer On TV Screen


by Amy Hanke


Because a computer monitor is so much smaller than a television screen, watching videos on your desktop or laptop computers can be a bit frustrating. Unless you have a large enough monitor, you can miss out on the detailed pictures that the video is capable of presenting. One other thing is that small computer monitors limit the sharing of the viewing experience with other family members or friends. Here, now, is how to watch computer on TV screen.

Before anything else, you have to make sure that you have all the tools and the materials that you are going to need. One of the most important materials is the video cable. Now there are many different types of video cables. First is the S-video cable, which has around four to seven pins. The good thing about an S-video cable is that most computers have an S-video port that can be connected to the S-video input of your TV screen.

There's also the standard VGA cable and the 19-pin HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) cable. The DVI to HDMI cable is recommended because it can display resolutions up to high definition 1080p on your TV. You have to make sure, though, that your television set supports this type of connection. In fact, you need to figure out what kind of output connections your computer has, and then buy a cable for one of those that will also attach to your television.

Other than the video cable, you will also need a 3.55 mm stereo jack plug. Connect this 3.5 mm stereo jack plug into the line-out port of your PC sound card. As for the other end of the cord, plug it into the audio input port on your TV to play stereo sound through your TV speakers.

Once you have already established the connection, the next step would be to turn on the TV and your computer. Let your computer detect the television automatically as a second monitor plugged into the system. With your TV's remote control, switch the setting to "External Inputs" from the menu. Also change the default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "Video 2" depending on how you have made the connection.

Yes, watching video on a computer monitor can be a bit frustrating. But this problem can easily be solved by learning how to watch computer on TV screen.
