Modern flat screen TVs are digital devices. They process the conversion of digital streams in continuous motion. It may seem that connecting a computer to a TV is a very simple task, but in reality everything is a little different.
Modern models of TVs are equipped with HDMI connectors, which are designed specifically to transmit a signal that carries a high-quality image to the computer. In addition to the image, this connector allows you to transmit sound, and this greatly improves the procedure for working with it, since there is no need to organize multiple interfaces.
Connection of the computer to the TV is carried out by means of a certain order of actions. To start, you must turn both devices off. Then, using the purchased cable, you should connect them. To do this, use the same connectors, then there will be no problems with the display. After the connection, you should turn on the TV first, be sure to put it in AVI mode, which will allow receiving the signal from an external source. In this mode, the corresponding HDMI port will be the source. When you first connect the computer to the TV, you will need to adjust the image. This is done by right-clicking on the desktop, and in the menu that appears, you will need to find the video card settings. If the TV is not automatically detected in the video card settings , you will need to "Find" it, and then adjust its properties. The computer desktop appears on the TV screen.
When the connection of the computer to the TV is completed, in the settings of the video card it will be possible to change the size of the desktop, its resolution, and also make other settings. If the TV is often used as a second monitor, then it should be set in it settings similar to the basic ones. Many video cards have the ability to configure the mode "Mirror" or "Clone", where both displays are configured the same. If you use the Advanced Desktop mode, you can make sure that both monitors work completely autonomously from each other.
When the process of connecting the computer to the TV is complete, it is desirable to restart the computer, which will allow the changes to take effect.
Before connecting the computer to the TV, you should check whether there are any necessary inputs, outputs, and adapters on the device. If it is a question of using a stationary computer, then it is required to check it for the presence of an HDMI output on the video card, and this interface must also be present on the TV. These connectors guarantee the transfer of high-quality sound and images from the computer. An important point is the availability of the necessary cables. If a complete set of all the necessary elements you have, it will help to easily implement the necessary connection.
