Question about computer and TV

Postby Gaazy » Sun Sep 13, 2009 2:24 pm

I talked to a guy that was telling me when he was in school he could hook his laptop into the TV somehow and whatever showed up on the laptop screen, went to the TV.

How do I do that? I never thought about it until he mentioned i. I have so many TV series and movies on here and it would be bad ass to be able to do that ><

Is there a certain cable or something?


Thanks ~

Depends on your laptop, most likely either HDMI or S-Video.

well yeah, that's it

you just need to plug a HDMI cable into that, and the other end into your TV

then there's usually a key combo to hit

on my laptop it's FN F8

(usually see a CRT/LCD label in blue writing on the key)
