How To Use Your TV as a Computer Monitor - Tech Tips from Best Buy

Agent Meister from Geek Squad has a work-from-home hack: you can use a TV as a monitor. This tip is especially helpful if you want to add a monitor but don’t have one. All you need is your TV and the right cord. He’ll show you how to figure out which cord you need and customize your screen setup.

Thank you Agent Meister for a friendly simple short explanation plus what to do and what cables are needed. Great presentation 👍!

Nice video, I sent it to a client who is a complete novice. With only one tip that was overlooked, use the input key on the tv remote to choose which HDMI port that has the cable plugged into. Thanks...

Can you send video on how to plug the TV into the wall socket?

[woody-xx]

Excellent!!! This took 2 minutes and works perfectly. Thank you 👏👏👏👏

But how do I separate audio from the two? I want to use my TV for youtube and the laptop for gaming, is it possible or no?

[Trenty_Boi]

Do I only need to plug the tv into the pc or do I need to plug other cords into the tv? (I'm a complete noob with this stuff)

Thanks Best Buy. Most of us didn’t need this but hey you get points for efforts. Maybe a mom will find this useful for their kid

Some laptop computers and TVs will let you connect wirelessly without any kind of dongle. Press Windows Logo + P to see projection settings, then "Connect to a wireless display." You may have to change a setting on your TV. So much better than needing to fiddle with cables.

Got a video for using a tower with a keyboard and mouse BUT with a tv monitor as the only monitor?? As a Desktop Computer option.

What do you do if your pc won’t connect with the tv?

[cppnk]

If there is no laptop or CPU, can we convert tv screen to computer monitor??

[CoolJon]

At least this is helpful to a friend of mine who knows nothing about computers other than web browsing

[alyssapark]

does smart tv has this kind of feature?

[dawnlivingston]

Thank you.  I am one of those people who knew you could do this, but didn't know how.  After watching this, I think I can do this very easily.  Sorry, haters, but not everyone already knew how to do this!

[zaphezuluthembani]

I did this but everything I do on the second screen pops up on the 1st screen

[mylestech]

That's exactly what in use!!!! I love these people because I'm a tech geek. I use an old sharp tv. I use a VGA cord. Lenovo T410 is what I have. I extend mine too

[gaelenmeier]

HOLY LORD, who doesn’t know this by now??? This info and tech is like 10 years old

[mariometaler]

Is there a wireless option to use your t.v. as a computer monitor ?
