How to Connect Your PC to Your HDTV

One way of having a secondary display for your PC is to use an HDTV as a secondary monitor. To know more, scroll down to step 1.

Steps

  1. Get an HDMI cable. You can purchase HDMI cables from online sources like eBay or Amazon.
    • Make sure the cable are long enough; around 15 feet should be good.
  2. Plug the HDMI cable into your computer’s video card. At the back of a desktop computer, or in the sides of a laptop, look for the HDMI port. For desktops, it should be where the monitor is plugged in horizontally.
    • If your desktop’s motherboard supports HDMI output, it may be located around the upper area to the rear of your unit (this only applies if you do not have a dedicated video card installed and are using integrated graphics on your motherboard).
  3. Plug the HDMI cable into the TV. The TV should have two HDMI ports at the back. Plug the HDMI cable into the first port, denoted by the number 1.
  4. Turn on both the TV and the computer.
  5. Switch the channel on the TV to the HDMI. The TV should then act as a secondary screen for your PC.
