How to Connect Your Computer to the TV

Learn about the best ways to connect your computer to your television to watch videos, movies, and shows on your TV screen. We’ll tell you about four ways you can do this, plus three tips you should know before you get started.

Here are the best 4 ways to connect your computer to your TV:
1. Use a single HDMI cord to stream both video and audio on your TV from your computer.
2. Enable Bluetooth on both your computer and Smart TV to wirelessly connect them.
3. Use a VGA cable paired with an auxiliary audio cable – this option is great for people with older television and computer models.
4. Stream videos from the Internet on your favorite game console or TV box – this saves you from needing to connect your computer to your television.

Helpful tips when connecting your computer and television screen:
1. Ensure you’re using the correct cables that are compatible with both your computer and your TV.
2. Try out all of your TV’s input source settings until you find the right one to view what you’re streaming on your computer.
3. Be as patient as you can while waiting for everything to be connected.
