There is no need of keeping spending a lot of money
getting those cable and satellite TV, when there is a lot of terrific content
available without any cost or to pay a little.
The advantage of the HDMI cable
is that you can more easily travel with it everywhere and once you know how to
connect your computer to the TV, many hotel TVs have an HDMI input so you can
utilize to watch your favourite content.
In this article, I will show you on how to use a simple
HDMI cable to connect to your laptop or desktop computer to an HDTV so that you
can watch anything you like on that big screen of your TV while controlling it
from your own laptop or desktop computer.
Device you need to connect your TV and laptop or desktop computer
Laptop or desktop computer with an HDMI port which
stands for High-Definition multimedia Interface port, an HDMI cable and an HDTV
that you use to plug in.
An HDMI cable has two types, If you have an HDTV it
means you probably have a fat cable, and a very slight unidirectional cable that
requires you to plug in with correct orientation one to the TV and other to the
Laptop or desktop computer.
Now get started
Plug in the HDMI cable on the back of the TV; please
pay attention for the labels also. When you turn the TV on it will indicate the
input port that you will want to pick. Plug an HDMI cable to HDMI port of your
laptop or desktop computer also.
Once you have plugged into both your laptop and HDTV,
use either your TV remote or the TV menu itself to select the matching input.
Configure your Laptop or computer desktop to use HDMI cable
Often the windows looks to ignore the HDMI port when
you plug the cable in. its fine don’t worry, it’s easy for you to talk with
your computer through performing different settings. Here go:
Open your control panel, select adjust screen
resolution. On the windows you will see that it shows there are two different
displays, but one of them will be disabled.
To resolve the issue on the second monitor, choose
Extend the desktop onto this monitor and click Apply. ‘Now your HDTV will show
you a windows desktop background photograph/image.
Point to remember is that in order to have the
background photo spread across the entire TV screen. I recommend you to use the
resolution on the second screen to be at least 1100*650 depending on the option
you have.
Now you have done, open your favourite web browser, and
go to www.youtube.com or www.hulu.com and pick something you would like to watch.
Now, using your mouse, tap and drag the title bar of
the Web window to the right, off your computer screen. As it moves off that
screen, it should appear on the TV screen. What we have done is basically
extend your desktop onto the second display so anything you drag there is on
the TV.
Enjoys..!
