Can hdmi cable be connected from laptop to tv

HDMI Connection

1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the laptop VGA port.
2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to one of the HDMI connections on the rear of the TV.
3. Connect a separate audio cable between the headphone or speaker output on the laptop and the audio in connector on the TV.

Normally with external displays the easiest way to do it is make sure the laptop is connected to the internet. Then turn off the laptop..now turn on the TV and connect the hdmi cable to the TV. Now switch the TV input to hdmi.
With the laptop still turned off connect the hdmi cable to the laptop.
Now you have everything connected, turn on the laptop and the laptop should find the TV and download any drivers it needs.
And that should be everything you need to do.

TV won't recognize laptop when connected via HDMI ...

Hi Cyril Lott,

There is a possibility that the HDMI cable might have failed so try connecting another known good HDMI cable and check if that helps.

Thanks and Regards.

Depends on the laptop and TV. Newer ones only require an HDMI cable, and not an expensive one either. Depending on the age of both you may need adaptors.

turn off tv and laptop. connect the hdmi cable to your tv and laptop turn tv on then log onto your laptop Both devices need to be off when connecting the hdmi cable

If you TV has HDMI connections. All you need is a HDMI cable. Hook the HDMI cable into the laptop and into the TV. Turn the TV on and go to that HDMI connection on the TV. It will show everything on the laptop on the TV. Videos, Documents, and anything else.

never plug in hdmi when comp.is on you may burn your hdmi port

If you mean watch what you see on your laptop on your TV, then you need to connect an HDMI cable or S-Video cable (depending on what sort of ports you have) from your laptop to your TV, then select the appropriate input on your TV or TV remote. For example if connected via HDMI and your TV has 2 HDMI inputs (ie. HDMI 1 and HDMI 2), select which one you connected to.

Your Lenovo laptop can be hooked up your TV if you have a model that is capable of TV output. Newer models with HDMI ports can easily connect to newer TVs that have HDMI input jacks. For older laptops or TVs, you will need other adapters or cables. The most common of these is an S-video jack, which has a small round connector with several pins arranged in a circle. For S-video connections, you will need to hook up the audio from your laptop to your TV separately.

Things You'll Need

HDMI cable

USB-to-HDMI adapter

OR

S-video cable

Audio cables

HDMI Connection

Turn on your Lenovo laptop and HDMI-enabled TV.

Connect one end of your HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your laptop. Lenovo's IdeaPad series has these ports. If you have a ThinkPad or other Lenovo model, connect a USB-to-HDMI adapter to your HDMI cable, then plug the USB end of the adapter into any USB port.

Press the "FN" and "F7" keys on your keyboard. This will switch the laptop's display to the TV. You can then use your TV screen as a monitor or use the laptop's DVD drive to watch movies on your TV.

S-Video Connection

Turn off your laptop and TV. Connect your S-video cable to the laptop on one end and the TV on the other.

Plug audio cables into your audio out jacks on the laptop. If you do not have stereo audio output, you can use the headphone/speaker jack. Add a splitter adapter to split the sound into stereo instead of mono (single speaker). Plug the other ends of the audio cables into your TV.

Turn on the laptop and let it boot up. Then turn on the TV. Right-click on your desktop screen, then select "Properties."

Click the "Settings" tab, the "Advanced" button, then "ATI displays" or "Display device" or the similarly worded option, depending on your system. It is not the "On screen displays" option in any version.

Click on the option that suits your system, such as "TV" or "LCD." Click "Apply," then "Yes" to confirm, if necessary. Click "OK" to exit. Your display should be visible on the TV screen. If not, try pressing "FN" and "F7" to toggle the display to the external screen.
