Mee Posted 3 December 2010 Share Posted 3 December 2010 We do this with our desktop sometimes, and we just get a VGA Cable and stick in into the laptop and then into the back of the TV. Then on your TV there will be a setting for it. On our TV there is one which just says 'Computer' so we just switch to that and then it comes up.

DB11 Posted 7 December 2010 Share Posted 7 December 2010 The easiest way is probably using a HDMI cable. Put one end into the laptop and then the other into the TV. On laptop press the function key (Fn) and then a corresponding 'F' key (F1, F2, F3 etc. one that you can change the screen output) and select 'HDMI'. Change the TV to the HDMI channel and then the screen will work. If there is no sound then go into the sound settings of the laptop and change default output to HDMI. You won't have to worry about changing it back because when you unplug it there will be no HDMI so it will auto go to 'speakers' (which is the laptop speakers).

Legend_in_blue Posted 7 December 2010 Share Posted 7 December 2010 Depends on your TV. Some HDtvs only do certain resolutions so you may have to change the laptop settings first. Look in the TV manual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozwin Posted 12 December 2010 Share Posted 12 December 2010 Tried doing this the other week, bought the wires and everything but my TV is a bit of a nob and it won't display anything. Couldn't figure it out to save my life. I was trying to do it with a VGA cable though, I think if you've got a HDMI then it's a bit simpler, I may be wrong. Let me know if you figure it out, I felt like I tried everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
