I'm writing this guide after being asked a few times on ways to connect a laptop to a TV. People want to achieve this for several reasons. First, it's great for presentations at work, school, or home. It's also convenient for viewing pictures and videos to friends, watching DVDs, and it is now even being used for viewing Blu-ray and other high definition content on the HDTV.
First, we want to make sure you're getting the most out of your laptop when it comes to displaying it on the TV.
If you have an HDTV with HDMI inputs, check if your laptop has an HDMI output. If it does, you're in luck! Your HDTV can display from your laptop in HD resolutions. All you need is an HDMI cable to connect them. If your HDTVs HDMI inputs are used up already. An HDMI switch would be the best solution for you. We supply switches that can connect up to 5 different HDMI sources to 1 HDMI input. If you don't have an HDMI output on the laptop, check if it has a DVI output. Some ASUS, and Dell laptops have them. If you do, you can connect your laptop to an HDTV with an HDMI to DVI cable. They are both digital cables so this will produce the same HD resolutions as a standard HDMI cable. If your laptop doesn't have HDMI or DVI out, it should have a VGA output. Connecting with VGA is capable of high resolutions. However, different TVs support different resolutions with VGA. You must check the maximum resolution your TV model supports with VGA. Pretty much all laptops come with an S-Video output. It's not going to be as great of a picture, but it will certainly do the job with an S-Video cable.
After you have connected your chosen cable, boot up your laptop and see if it has detected your TV. If not, you have to go into your display properties and look for the settings that will enable your TV to display from your laptop. Where to find the setting will vary depending on your graphics card (just look around). If you are having trouble getting your TV to show a picture, make sure you have updated the display drivers on your laptop. Now you're probably going to want sound from something other than your laptop speakers. So you can choose to output it to your TV, or blast it from your home theater audio receiver.
The best way to connect audio to your TV or receiver is through a digital audio cable. Both a digital coaxial cable or Toslink optical audio cable will work great for crisp high quality audio. Just make sure your laptop has either a digital coaxial or an optical audio output. Some laptops use the headphone jack to double as a digital coaxial (S/PDIF) output. If you use this method, your going to need a 3.5mm to RCA adapter with a digital coaxial cable. If your laptop has none of these outputs and you still really want that high quality sound. Don't worry! You can still get an external (USB) sound card that has digital coaxial out or optical out. I recommend the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 SB1090 with Toslink Optical audio out. Another way, which won't require any add-ons, is to use the headphone (3.5mm) jack on your laptop to the RCA (red and white) inputs on your TV or receiver. To do this, all you need is a 3.5mm to 2 RCA adapter with a 2 RCA audio cable.
I know all of these cables can seem confusing to you. If you're having trouble finding out what each cable looks like or find out more about a cable, check out the Cable Guide at CableTrain.com. All of these cables are available for you on our website as well. I hope you can now successfully connect your laptop to the TV in the best way possible!
If you want to get the most out of your PC, Laptop or MP3 Player's sound capabilities, you will definitely need a good pair of computer speakers! The aforementioned devices usually don't come with speakers built into them and if they do, they are usually of pretty poor quality! PC speakers are equipped with specially designed amplifiers! These will make sure that your sound will be loud - and as loud as possible!
Connecting those speaker systems to your PC or media devices is also very easy! Most models are equipped with a 3.5mm stereo jack, the same one used by headphones, so you should have no problem figuring out where to connect them! But even if you do, those jacks come in a lime green which is the one used by the speaker ports of all computer sound boards! The latest PC speaker models are also equipped with multi connectors like the very popular RCA jacks. This means that they are fully compatible with your TV set, DVD player or gaming console!
Like all high tech products, computer speakers have taken some huge evolutionary leaps in the past few years! The first great breakthrough was the adoption of wireless technology! This means that you will be able to enjoy the sound from your speaker system in every part of your home, since you will no longer be restrained by wires and cables! Wireless computer speakers use the latest in Bluetooth wireless technology, which means that their signal has a very large range signal and that they can maintain a very stable connection with your media devices, even if thick walls are between them!
There is a very wide variety of wireless PC speaker systems currently available on the market. The 2.1 speakers are the cheapest and simplest wireless models! These systems consist of two speakers and a subwoofer. This set up will definitely be adequate for gamers, but not so much for movie and music lovers.
If you love watching movies with top notch surround sound, then you should be looking for 5.1 and 7.1 wireless computer speaker systems. These consist of five or seven speakers respectively, as well as a very powerful subwoofer! This allows you to spread them out throughout your living room or office and enjoy cinema quality and true surround sound!
USB powered computer speakers are another fantastic product of speaker technology evolution! These speakers can be hooked up to any of your PC's USB ports and get all the power needed for them to work from your computer! This means that you won't have to worry about buying batteries or finding available power outlets! You will also be able to carry them with you anywhere you want and enjoy amazing sound, no matter where you are! Most models are also magnetically shielded, which means that they will unaffected by electronic or magnetic interference caused by other devices in their vicinity! These speakers are ideal for laptop users!
