Step 1: Some of the computers currently existing have an S-Video port which can be connected easily to the S-Video input of your television screen using affordable S-Video cable (this cable is round with approximately 4 or 7 pins). Most people/users using outdated monitor, can use the 15-pin VGA cable to connect the computer to the television screen and it will offer improved picture superiority than the S-Video cable.

Now that the newer HDTVs and laptop computers have DVI ports so a DVI Male to Male Cable or DVI to HDMI Adapter Cable can be used to clasp the computer display and the TV. The DVI to HDMI cable can be used when your HDTV doesn’t have a DVI port but does have an HDMI port.

Step 2: After you might have connected the computer to the TV using a physical cable, what you need now is another cable to transmit the sound as all the above cables only transmit the video but not the audio part.


So you need a 3.5mm Mini Plug to RCA Cable Stereo to connect the audio line out from a PC to your television. The red cable connector goes into the red socket of your TV, black connector into the black socket while the black connector goes into the 3.5 mm headphone jack of your computer.

Step 3: After you might have been through with the steps above, Open the “display settings” on your Windows computer and activate the output to the TV screen. You can also reflect content of your computer on the TV or make bigger the display simply to look like a dual monitor screen.
For most users that are using Windows 7, gently press the keyboard shortcut Windows + P to quickly access the display settings or kindly search for “Connect to External Display” in the Windows Run box.

Step 4: Wow, you are almost done..lol… kindly Pick up your TV remote and switch to “External Inputs” from the menu. You will need to change the default “Video 1” to a dissimilar selection which might be “HDMI 1” or “Video 2” depending on how you have made the correlation.

Significant guide to Note: Ensure that you connect the physical cable to the TV before turning on the computer, this is because, at some points it may fail to recognize external display. You may perhaps need to change the screen resolution of your TV using the Display settings in your Control Panel, because without this, the picture possibly will every now and then emerge to be hazy.
