VGA Cable Connecting to TV. Connect a new video card to the old monitor. Image cloning mode

VGA is a built-in video adapter, which is installed in most modern computers And it is considered one of the standard devices for connecting monitors (IBM was developed in 1987).

VGA video adapters are used analog signalwhich is able to transmit a large number of colors for high resolution (Over 640 x 480 points). The VGA connector can be found in blue tip color and characteristic trapezoid form, with three rows of holes, 5 each. VGA connector is often used to connect various devices To TV. As an example, let's try to connect the computer to the TV via VGA.

Preparation

First you need to inspect the computer and TV for the presence of VGA ports in each of them. It is important to remember that the VGA adapter transmits a video without sound, so additionally you should prepare a sound cable with "2xRCA - 3.5 JACK" connectors (Tulip-Jack), and also have a serviceable "VGA-VGA" type cable.

Turning off the monitor

Before connecting a computer to a TV:

• Turn off the computer and pull the monitor cable from the port VGA;
• Insert the "VGA-VGA" cable plug in the port instead of the monitor cable.

If the computer is turned on, then in some cases it may not recognize the TV as a new monitor.

Attaching cables

When connected, the TV must be included in the network. Usually both VGA and audio cables, not very long length (about a meter). To connect cables to the TV you must:

• Move the computer case / laptop to TV;
• Insert the free end of the VGA cable in the TV connector;
• Connect the audio cable in the TV and computer connectors.

If there is another port type in the TV, such as HDMI, you can attach the VGA-HDMI adapter to the cable and then insert it into the appropriate port of the TV.

Using a TV as a monitor

When cables are already connected to both devices, you need to do the following:

• Enable your computer and wait for download operating system;
• Find and click on the TV Source (Source) button;
• In the menu on the TV screen, select the "VGA" (or "PC" item - the name depends on the TV model).

If the connection has happened successfully, the desktop computer will appear on the screen.

Screen resolution

In modern TVs, the screen resolution is greater than that of monitors. In Windows 7, for the correct display of the picture on the TV screen, you must:

• Right-click on the desktop;
• Select the screen "Screen Resolution" in the menu;
• Establish optimal resolution;
• Press "OK" and proceed to view the video.

If the TV performs a function additional monitor For a laptop, in the screen resolution menu you need:

• In the "Multiple Screens" category, select "Duplicate Screens" item;
• Then select the TV screen and configure the appropriate resolution.

If, when connected to a laptop, the computer has not defined the TV screen automatically, you must click the "Find" button in the "Screen Resolution" menu and then make the above actions.

You will need

• Internet, very old video card with support for TV-OUT OVER D-SUB, D-Sub M connector, RCA connector, coaxial cable 75 ohms, soldering supplies

Instruction

On the Internet you will find a ready-made VGA tulip connector, but unfortunately, even if you buy it, it will not work. To transfer the composite signal from the computer, it is necessary to support this species Signal standard. Until 2000 released a video card with support for TV-OUT OVER D-Sub. That is, really to such a video card you could TV adapter VGA tulip. However, after 2000, the signal transmission standard was changed, and the video cards ceased to transmit the composite signal. So if you make a VGA tulip adapter or buy ready and try to use it on a modern video card, the adapter will not work under any circumstances.

If you still need to display a signal from the VGA of the output of a modern video card through a composite entrance to the TV (yellow tulip video), then the only way to do this is to purchase a special converter device. It transcoding the signal between different standards. The cost of this converter varies from 10 to $ 20. This is a rather complicated device, so it is only a professional to assemble it on your own.

If you are a happy owner of an ancient video card (Issue until 2000), which supports TV-out Over D-Sub, for example, Matrox, you can try to make an adapter VGA tulip yourself. To do this, you need a RCA and D-SUB or "pinout" connectors.

Prepare VGA connectors and tulip for soldering. Open the protective housing, apply flux to the desired contact pads according to the pinout. Take the segment of the cable of the desired length, read the ends, promote them.

Be sure to wear the housing of the connectors to the cable before you solder it to the connectors. Sold down the inner cable vein to the central contact site of the tulip connector and to the contact number 3 of the VGA connector. Sold down the shielding conductor of the cable (braid) to another tulip connector pin and to the contact number 8 of the VGA connector on the other side of the cable.

Collect the connectors at both ends of the cable. Adapter is ready. You can try to connect the TV to the computer.

Video on the topic

note

Note special attention On setting the signal format, resolution and redressing. Start with the lowest values. The TV may not recognize the video signal at most combinations of these parameters, so try different options.

Helpful advice

The easiest way to connect the TV to the computer is a video card with the presence of a separate TV-out, tulip or S-Video.

Also you can use the converter.

You may be suitable for another way to connect a computer to a TV, for example:
- Connecting the VGA VGA cable, if there is a VGA input on the TV. Some modern TV models are equipped with a special adapter for connecting VGA;
- Connection through the VGA S-Video adapter. Such connection is possible on some models aTI video cards Radeon, for example, a series 3000 and a special configuration of the video card driver. Also on the TV should be the input S-Video;
- Connection via VGA YPBPR adapter. The same as in the previous paragraph, but on the TV there should be a component input YPBPR (three tulips not yellow);
- Connect via VGA SCART adapter. The same as in the previous paragraph, but on the TV there should be an input SCART (comb).

In relatively new TVs, you can find USB, HDMI, VGA ports, as well as support wireless networks, for example, Wi-Fi. Thanks to this, the TV can be connected to other devices - laptops, computers, etc. Let's consider in more detail how to make it all available ways.

Connection via Wi-Fi

Support Wi-Fi is mainly in Smart TV, so this option is not suitable for all TVs. However, it has its certain advantages, for example, there are no restrictions that imposes a cable length. Consider the main methods that can be applied to connect the laptop to the TV using Wi-Fi.

Method 1: on the local network

This is the optimal solution that will allow you to view data on a laptop from the TV remotely. The instruction presented below cannot be ideal for all SMART TV models, so in your case there may be some discrepancies with this instruction.

To start, configure the TV:

1. Take the remote control and click on the button. "SETTINGS"which will open the TV settings.
2. In the menu you need to select the tab. "Net". Management is performed using the remote remote control. Some TV manufacturers may also include special headsets to interact with the interface.
3. Go to section « Network connection» or section with a similar name.




4. Click on the button "Configure Connection".




5. A list of wireless points will appear, where you need to select the one to which you want to connect.




6. Enter all data for connecting. As a rule, it is only a password, if installed.
7. In case of successful connection, you will receive the appropriate notification.

After connecting to Wi-Fi on the computer, you need to configure the access point. To reproduce multimedia files, you will need to apply special settings in Windows Media. Player. The instructions for working with them look like this:

1. Open Windows Media Player player and expand list "Flow"What is located in the top toolbar. Check the ticks opposite the items "Allow remote control player " and "Automatically resolve devices to reproduce my multimedia".




2. Open item "Sort". In the context menu you need to select item "Management Libraries".




3. Select the data type that you need to import.




4. In the window that opens, click on the button "Add".




5. Run "Conductor"where you need to choose the directory in which the video will be located. After selecting click on the button "Add folder".




6. Click "OK" To save the settings.
7. The library will explain the data, access to which you can get through the TV.

Now it remains only to view the added data, as well as check the connection quality with the computer. This is done like this:

Connection through local network It may be convenient, but there are certain inconveniences. For example, if the laptop is long inactive, it goes into hibernation mode. In this mode, the exchange of information between devices is terminated.

Method 2: Miracast

Using Miracast technology, you can display images from a laptop monitor to a large screen using Wi-Fi Connection. You can not only display the image from the laptop screen to the TV, but to expand the workspace of the screen itself. Initially, you need to perform some of the TV settings:

The primary tv setup is complete, now you need to configure the operating system on the laptop. The Miracast connection process will be considered on the example of a laptop with installed system Windows 10:

Select an image projection option from the laptop screen on the TV display, you can combine the Win + P keys. In the menu that opens, select the option suitable for you.

Connection via USB.

In modern TVs (this is optional Smart TV) there are USB outputs. However, due to technical features Laptop and TV Connect them between themselves via USB to display the image is not possible. This restriction can be bypass by using a special adapter.

Preparatory stage

Since you cannot connect a TV to a laptop via a USB cable directly, you will have to use special signals and signal converters. There are special external USB video cards that transcribe a signal from a computer in HDMI and / or VGA (depends on the presence of appropriate connectors). The market also contains devices transmitting a signal wireless.

Purchase one of these devices. It is recommended to take wireless whenever possible, so you will not be limited to the cable length. Wireless transducers (even the cheapest) radius is at least 10 meters. If you do not have the right wires and they do not come complete, they will have to be purchased separately.

It is worth considering another feature - the HDMI audio signal is transmitted without the help of third-party adapters and additional connections. At the same time, the transmission of a signal via VGA will require an additional adapter.

Connection

The connection process looks like this:

Connection setup

Now you need to perform certain manipulations on the laptop and TV so that the entire system is working correctly. Let's start setting up from the TV:

It remains to perform some manipulations on the laptop:

Connection via VGA.

This connection option is quite simple, since it does not require much "bother" by technical aspects, as happened in the previous methods. In most cases modern TVs And the computers are equipped with VGA connections, therefore, if there is an appropriate cable, there should be no problems with the connection.

Preparatory stage

If you have no two-sided VGA cable with you, then you can purchase it at any store trading computer components. Length can be chosen depending on your needs.

If there is no VGA connector on one of the devices, you can purchase a special adapter by HDMI-VGA or USB-VGA. The work with the last type was described in detail in the instructions above.

It is also worth considering the features of the VGA operation, that is, the fact that they are intended solely for transmitting the image, so it is not possible to transmit files through them, and other information is possible. To circumvent these restrictions, you will have to separately connect the column to the laptop, use special audio-adapters or content with the sound of the laptop speakers.

Connection

The process of connecting a laptop to a TV through a VGA cable is no different or unusual. Connection instructions look like this:

Configure VGA connection

When you are completed with a laptop connection and a TV with a cable, go to the settings. Immediately after connecting the cable, the signal will most likely not be transmitted. To fix it, you need to make some advanced settings, both on TV and on the computer.

The configuration process is as follows for a TV:

Now you need to configure the connection for the computer. Instruction:

1. "Desktop".
2. "Screen resolution" or "Screen Settings".



3. In graf "Display" Select your TV.




4. Now click on item . You can also use a key combination Win + P.which will call the desired window.

On this, the process of connecting a laptop to TV can be considered complete.

Connecting a laptop to TV via HDMI

This connection option is largely very similar to the previous one. You will also need an HDMI cable, as well as the presence of appropriate connectors on the TV and on the laptop housing. The HDMI connection displays not only the image, but also the sound, which allows not to bother over this issue.

If some of the devices have no needed connector, you can use various adapters. However, in this case, the configuration process can be very complicated, and the quality of the output signal is most likely lower than when the "direct" is connected.

Connection

There is nothing complicated here. Just take and stick one end of the HDMI cable to the port on the TV. By analogy, install it in the appropriate laptop interface. Usually the mount takes the maximum dense as possible, therefore additional fixators are not provided by the design of the connectors themselves or the design of cables.

Configure HDMI connection

It is almost the same as in almost the same way as connecting to a VGA cable. The TV is configured as:

Now computer configuration:

1. Usually after you set up the TV, the image from the laptop display will be duplicated on the TV screen. However, if it did not appear or appeared in the wrong form, as you would like, you will have to resort to the settings of the laptop. Click right-click Mice on empty space on "Desktop".
2. Of context menu Select option "Screen resolution".



3. In graf "Display" Select your TV.
4. If you are not satisfied with the resolution displayed on the TV screen, then specify it in a special column wearing the corresponding name.




5. Now click on item "Image output to the second screen"




6. Here, select an image transfer option.

Also do not forget that HDMI supports the ability to transfer sound without any additional cables. This often occurs with outdated drivers or if the connection is used 2010 cables and earlier years of release. The process of setting the sound with this type of connection is true:

Another common problem is when the TV icon appeared, but it is highlighted with gray. This may indicate two problems:

• The laptop just incorrectly recognized the TV. In this case, you need to restart without turning off the HDMI cable. After rebooting, everything should be returned to normal;
• If this did not happen, then you are most likely sound card Outdated driver. Update them. In the context of this article, this process will not be considered, since this is the topic of a separate article.

Connecting via vitua couple RCA

This option of connecting a laptop to the TV is the most difficult, as it requires a long-term user preparatory stage, availability of special cables and adapters. However, if for some reason other connection methods are not possible, you will have to use this method.

Preparatory stage

On many computers, and even more laptops there are no necessary connectors for RCA connections, so you will have to buy a converter at mandatory. Since most modern laptops are equipped with HDMI or VGA outputs, you will have to buy a converter where there are such connectors. The main thing is that the same interfaces are on a laptop.

You also need to choose the corresponding cables under connectors, that is, HDMI / VGA and the RCA-cable branch. Sometimes all the necessary peripherals goes complete. Additionally, you need to get acquainted with the characteristics of RCA cables:

Most often you can do only with a yellow cable, since there will still be serious problems with the sound if you generally get it out. The sound most likely will have to connect through the laptop to the columns or costs the speakers of the laptop itself.

Most of the converters may not receive the desired power from the connector on the computer, so you have to prepare the device to power the converter separately if it is not included with it.

Connection

This process may vary depending on what type of converter you purchased. Initially, consider the instructions for connecting the HDMI-RCA channel:

1. Connect the HDMI cable to the appropriate connector on the laptop housing. Additionally consolidate it is not required.




2. The other end of the HDMI cable is stored in the appropriate interface already on the converter itself. The desired connector can still be signed as "INPUT".



3. Now connect the RCA wires to the TV. The colors of the plugs must match the colors that are designated on the TV, otherwise the connection will be incorrect. The necessary connectors are usually in the block with the designation "Avin".




4. By analogy, connect the RCA wires to the converter.




5. Using a special switch on the sidebar, you can configure the image standard.




6. The transmission of the signal may not be fulfilled in cases where this is not enough power from the HDMI computer connector. In these cases, the transmitter can be connected to a computer using a dual USB cable, providing its necessary energy or connect to the network.

We will also consider the connection process using a VGA-RCA adapter:

Setting

When you finish with the connection, you will need to configure the TV and the computer. Let's start with the TV:

Now computer configuration:

1. Usually after you set up the TV, the image from the laptop display will be duplicated on the TV screen. However, if it did not appear or appeared in the wrong form, as you would like, you will have to resort to the settings of the laptop. Right-click on the empty space on "Desktop".
2. From the context menu, select Option "Screen resolution".



3. In graf "Display" Select your TV.
4. If you are not satisfied with the resolution displayed on the TV screen, then specify it in a special column wearing the corresponding name.




5. Now click on item "Image output to the second screen". You can also use the Win + P key combination, which will call the desired window.




6. Here, select an image transfer option.

If you use the RCA-HDMI adapter, you can also output and sound, and not just a video signal. True, sometimes the sound may not be displayed by default, although it must. This often occurs with outdated drivers or if the connection is used 2010 cables and earlier years of release. The process of setting the sound with this type of connection is true:

Within the framework of this article, all available methods for connecting a laptop to the TV were considered. Unfortunately, not all of them are universal, so you have to look at the situation.

Computer technologies are continuously developed, new devices are being developed, improving the quality of information processing. It is not surprising that modern laptops are equipped with a huge number of different connectors. Consider all the ways to connect the laptop to the TV.

• displaying the image to the big screen;
• organization of presentations;
• communication on Skype and other similar services.

Let us dwell on the first paragraph. By connecting the laptop to the TV, the user will be able to view online video output and run files stored on the hard disk of the laptop. By and large, this is an imitation of the Smart TV functionality. At the same time, the cable is much cheaper than Android prefix or "smart" TV.

There are several ways to connect a laptop to the TV. It is very simple to do this, but first you need to familiarize yourself with the available interfaces. After connecting the connectors, additional setting is performed.

Connection via HDMI Cable

This is the easiest way to connect a laptop to TV. The only snag - the presence of a HDMI cord, in the basic configuration it does not go, so you have to buy the cable additionally. However, it costs inexpensively (from 150 rubles or more), besides universal, that is, it is suitable for both Samsung and Sony devices.

Advantageously, users prefer this type of connection not only because of simplicity. The fact is that this method Allows you to use the maximum resolution.

Benefits:

• connector equipped with all TVs and laptops;
• simple connection;
• low cable cost;
• one cord is responsible for the transmission of sound and images;
• permission Full HD.

There are no shortcomings.

HDMI connectors are absolutely on all laptops that were issued over the past few years. The exceptions are the cheapest models.

Now you should find a similar interface on the rear panel of the TV. If there is no exit to this cable, then you will have to additionally purchase adapters or use alternative method Connections.

Some special instructions do not exist. It is enough to insert a cable into a laptop and television connector. However, not every user knows how to properly configure the connection. With hardware moments figured out, so it's time to move to the software component.

To go to the screens management section on a laptop, you must click on the PCM on the desktop, and then select from the Context menu "Screen Resolution". As a result, a window will open in which the choice of a method for using an additional monitor. The system offers the following options:

• 2 screens as a single space, that is, an extension of the desktop will occur;
• TV performs the functions of the second monitor, you can simultaneously work and watch the movie;
• cloning pictures - on a laptop and TV the same image;
• additional options - functionality directly depends on the power of the video card.

In the same section, the video resolution section is set to display on the TV monitor. Maximum indicator for HDMI Connections - 1920x1080 pixels. This means that you can watch movies in Full HD.

As for the tv-equipment directly, everything is much easier. First, open the program menu and select the source of the signal. Select among the proposed HDMI options with the number to which the cable is connected. This connection configuration is complete.

DVI Cable

Not much different from HDMI. DVI interface is a modern digital connector. The problem is that this output is on many computers, but it is extremely rare on laptops. In such cases, connect the laptop to the TV using the DVI cord, it is possible through an adapter adapter.

Benefits:

• simple connection;
• permission Full HD.

Disadvantages:

• rarely meets on laptops.

When the laptop is connected to the TV via the DVI cable, the user will be able to watch video content with full HD - 1920x1080 pixels resolution, actually, as in the case of HDMI. Connection specifics do not change depending on the manufacturer of the equipment. That is, you can safely synchronize Laptop Asus and Sony TV.

Some modern devices are equipped with an updated DUAL LINK DVI-I digital interface, which differs from the standard connector with increased screen resolution - 2560x1600 pixels.

Despite the fact that this is a digital signal, the sound will still have to be connected separately.

SCART.

The main advantage of this digital interface is universality. The connector meets both on old models and on the novelties. The SCART output provides high-quality sound and video transmission, however, to use this type, a transition cable is required, because laptops are not equipped with such a connector.

Benefits:

• versatility;
• the audio server is included in the basic configuration;

Disadvantages:

• requires an adapter, since laptops are not equipped with such a connector.

You can connect a laptop to a TV using VGA and SCART. It should be noted that the audio server to transmit sound on TV is included in the basic configuration. Preferably, SCART is used to connect old models of televisions. Therefore, if you have new model, then it is advisable to give preference to HDMI compound.

VGA output

This interface is on many laptops, but on TVs it is much less likely. If there is still a regular cable to connect on the back of the TV VGA TV, then you can use the most ordinary cable to the screen from the PC.

If there is no connector, you will have to use adapters to the TV to connect the laptop to the TV: VGA-HDMI, VGA-SCART or any other than your choice.

Another feature of this compound is that the VGA connector provides the transmission exclusively video. To translate sound from a laptop on the TV speakers, you will have to get an additional cable.

Monsterly VGA connection is used to view the photo on the large LCD screen. As for permission, the maximum parameter is 1600x1200.

Also switching the screen of this type is suitable for video games. After all, you can play in the headphones, respectively disappears the need to use an additional cable.

Sometimes this interface is found on netbooks, for example, on ASUS Eee. PC, Acer and others. Therefore, in order not to watch movies on a tiny display, the owners of netbooks connect the device to TV using VGA. The sound is also desirable to translate to Tv columns, as they are more powerful.

Benefits:

• a high resolution;
• easy connection;
• the interface is on many laptops.

Disadvantages:

• a separate cord is required to transfer sound;
• not all TVs are equipped with a VGA interface.

In general, HDMI is a more practical solution.

RCA and S-VIDEO

As a rule, these types of connectivity equate to one group due to the fact that they are used unusually rarely. RCA and S-VIDEO interfaces are a relic of the past, so often found on the old technique.

Laptops with such outlets have long come out of the turnover. Therefore, the connection of the laptop via RCA or S-Video is an extreme measure, in case there is simply no other possibility. To connect the TV to a laptop using these interfaces, special adapters and converters are used.

Benefits:

• meet on old models.

Disadvantages:

• technology is noticeably outdated;
• image quality leaves much to be desired;
• there are no laptops with such interfaces.

RCA connector is well-known well-known tulips, with the help of which the first gaming consoles and the first cassette video players are connected to the TV. If you do not know how to watch a movie from a laptop on a TV, which is more than 10 years old, then use an adapter. Tulips inserts into the TV panel, and the converter in the laptop connector.

Naturally, the RCA cable is not able to transmit high quality image. In this regard, this option is used exclusively in hopeless situations.

Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection

How to connect a laptop to a TV without HDMI? Of course, the most convenient and practical option is a wired or wireless Internet connection. First, in the case of Wi-Fi, there is no need to acquire additional cords. Secondly, you can work with media files stored on a laptop, directly from the TV (DLNA technology).

Benefits:

• in the case of Wi-Fi - the absence of cords;
• high quality image;
• simultaneous translation of video and audio content;
• practicality.

Disadvantages:

• not all TVs are equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter and Ethernet input.

Even if the computer will be located in another room, it will not be a problem. The main thing is that it is included. You must also pre-configure access to folders containing files for viewing. As a result, you can view photos, video and even listen to audio tracks. Such a connection is particularly relevant if the acoustic system was purchased earlier.

To transform a regular TV in Smart TV, you need to use Wi-Fi Routerwhich actually will act as an intermediary. Connect to TV and Laptop router, and then you can control the device with a conventional remote control. Moreover, the TV can be connected to the router with a network cable, and a laptop via Wi-Fi and vice versa.

Some manufacturers have developed a special software For these purposes. For example, LG have a preset SMART Share utility. Connecting to the Samsung Smart TV is carried out through the AllShare program. Sony devices also have branded software - Vaio Media Server.

By this principle, you can connect a netbook to TV and even a smartphone. The main thing is that the device has a built-in wireless network module.

Not all TV models are equipped with Wi-Fi. However, if it is not, you can use network cable. If there is no Ethernet input, you can buy an external Wi-Fi adapter. Choosing a module, do not forget that the components from different manufacturers are not interchangeable. Accordingly, buy an adapter in accordance with the brand of television equipment.

The TV is connected to the router by the same principle as any other devices. Just find the "Network" or "network settings" in the main menu. Select your network, enter the password and ready.

Using a wireless monitor

By connecting cables to the appropriate connectors, you can use a TV for video games or online services without unnecessary problems.

FROM wireless technology The situation is somewhat different. However, at most SMART TV models, released later than 2013, there is support for a new intel technology WIDI or Miracast. Use them for games is still early. The essence of the above technologies is that you can transmit the image from the laptop screen, smartphone or tablet to the TV using Wi-Fi connection.

However, there are some essential flaws. Key minus - the device is connected to the delay. According to the technological basics, the image is compressed and transmitted to the TV screen over a wireless connection.

Information transmission is carried out quite quickly. For Internet surfing, viewing photos or video speeds more than enough. However, if we talk exactly about active games, then the delay is noticeable with a naked eye, as a result of which minor lags arise. Therefore, the gamers still should abandon the wireless monitor in favor of HDMI connections.

To use Miracast WIDI insufficiently built-in technology support. It is important that the laptop worked on the latest generation Intel platform. Support for other platforms is not provided.

Setting up TV and laptop

It is important not only to connect, but also to set the optimal parameters for the TV and the laptop computer. The configuration process may differ slightly, depending on which model is about.

Software tv.

When all devices are connected using a cable, it is necessary to carry out the appropriate setting. First, open the main menu of the TV and select the input through which the laptop was connected.

Some models immediately after connecting the cable, the name of the entrance to which the device itself has been connected. Activate it, after which you will immediately see the desktop of the portable computer on the TV screen.

Sometimes you have to adjust the connection manually, but there is nothing complex in it. For example, to select the VGA interface, go to the menu and check the PC. For maximum convenience, some manufacturers are absolutely all inputs noted by a special icon at which you can define the port without any difficulties.

Many models are equipped with highlighted active connectors, again, it significantly facilitates the search for an active synchronization method. Naturally, there is differences in the setup, because each TV has a special menu.

Setting up laptop

Immediately after connecting, adjust the laptop in such a way as to display the maximum high-quality image on the screen. Make it unusually easy. There are two ways.

Fast option

Press the keyboard with a Win + P combination. The menu will open with active connections. Select the desired option, after which the changes will take effect. There are 4 modes software setup Connected devices:

1. Display 1 screen - TV or laptop.
2. Duplication of screens - Identical information is displayed on both displays.
3. Screen Extension - Both Displays function as a single desktop.
4. Show only the TV screen, on the laptop the display turns off.

The choice of method is carried out in accordance with the tasks. When connecting an additional monitor, the first option will be preferable to configure.

Method number 2.

Click on the free section of the PCM desktop, and then from the context menu, select the "Screen Resolution" section. If an additional screen is connected to the laptop, the "Multiple Screens" section appears on the menu, as well as the "Connect to the projector" command.

• The "Multiple Screens" command will offer the user of 4 modes to use connected devices.
• The "Connection to the Projector" command will open a new menu for additional settings.

These are the main methods for connecting the laptop to TV. The options described above are ideal for owners of regular televisions, without smart functions. In principle, if you use HDMI or any other cable, then the possibilities are automatically equated to Smart T. You can watch online video, essential television and listen to music.

Software setup is not a prerequisite, but it is still desirable.

Note.

To properly connect the monitor to the system unit, it is important to know which interfaces are available on the computer and monitor. Connectors are several options and do it differ from each other. different form and the number of external pins. This knowledge is needed to select the right video cable. Consider the most common ways to connect the monitor to the system unit.

You can connect the monitor to the system unit using a cord with one of the connectors: VGA, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort.

Consider possible options, their advantages and disadvantages and select suitable.
