In this video I will teach you how to connect your laptop to your TV using an HDMi cable. A Lenovo Windows laptop and Sony Bravia HDMI TV were used in this video.
It's a straightforward process as the video / tutorial demonstrates. Just follow these steps. Steps 1-3 cover setting up/turning on your equipment. Steps 4-7 cover the different output options when using an HDMi cable.
1. (00:50) Ensure that the HDMi cable is plugged into your TV, remembering which port the cable is connected e.g. HDMI1 / HDMI2 etc.
2. (1:01) Turn the TV on, going to the correct HDMI input.
3. (1:18) Turn the laptop on, plugging the HDMI cable into the laptop when ready.
Go to the display settings on your laptop - getting to these settings will vary by computer. If you have a search bar towards the bottom of your screen, type in the word display settings, or it may be that you can go through the notifications panel. Alternatively, you can go the control panel and look for appearance and personalisation settings.
Regards how to connect a computer/laptop to a TV, when presented with the display setting options, you can choose output for the following:
4: (2:42) Display on laptop/computer screen only.
5: (3:46) Duplicate the displays i.e whatever is on the laptop/computer screen will also show on your TV screen.
6. (4.25) Output the display to your TV only.
7. (6:36) Extend the displays from your laptop/computer to TV so you will be able to run two different programs requiring two different screens, e.g a website on the laptop/computer and excel spreadsheet on the TV.
Many thanks for watching our video on how to connect your laptop to your TV using an HDMI cable.

This is really helpful. Especially now because there are no summer school because of the coronavirus. Now, I can teach my sister using our tv.I spend 2 hours on mending it but when I saw the video it like a pie. Thanks a lot

Thanks for your quick response, Roger. 'No, it must be connected by the HDMI cable' was the answer for those who, like me, didn't know.

Hi Sattler. Thanks for your comments. This sometimes happens to mine. I shut down the PC. Unplug and plug back in the cables again and restart. Try this. Having a second display can be temperamental at times. Hope you manage to sort. Thanks.

The video is very helpful, thanks for that. And you can improve the quality of matter in the video by using two cameras (one focusing on the laptop) you can also trim the unnecessary footage like the first few seconds (you already connected to TV with your laptop and again started to connect ) That would be nice !! 👍

What about changing the Resolution on the TV, shouldn't that be set to the max. recommended amount? And does the Laptop Resolution need to be changed too?

@TheTechGuru 4 года назад

Hi. My understanding is that If you're using HDMI, the computer & TV should talk to each other, e, automatically setting the computer's resolution. Thanks.

@noel888 4 года назад

Correct me if i am wrong but I am assuming the hdmi ports on my monitor/tv is only an imput and the hdmi on my laptop is external. With this setup, in system it does not get detected. I also rebooted the system..still no detection...do you think i have to go into my bios and see if the hdmi ports are enabled?

@TheTechGuru 4 года назад

Hi Anthony. My understanding is that the HDMI port on the monitor/TV is an input port. Regards the laptop port, if it's only labelled 'HDMI' then it's output only. However, if it's labelled 'HDMI in' then it is an input port. If you go devices/printers, can your computer see your monitor/TV? Sometimes connecting a monitor via HDMI can be a bit unreliable. Is the HDMI cable okay/compatible? Thanks.
