How to Connect Your Computer to a HDMI TV

HDMI technology enables transmission of high definition video and audio signal on a single cable simultaneously. There are many ways of doing so and below are some of the steps which will enable you in connecting your computer and TV with HDMI capability.

Turn off your computer and go to the back of your computer case where you will find a cable coming out of the monitor. That cable is connected to the output port of the video card which could be a 15pin VGA or a 29pin DVI port. You may find a HDMI port besides the regular monitor port.

If the HDMI port is present there, you can easily connect the HDMI cord coming from your HDMI TV to this port. If there is only one video output and you want to run both TV as well as the monitor with it, you need to buy a new video card. You can buy either an HDMI or a DVI output card and install the same on the available slot as per the instruction provided. If you are not sure how to install it, contact a computer support guy for assistance. If you have chosen a DVI output card then a simple DVI to HDMI converter will be good for converting the output of your computer to an accurate HDMI input for the TV.

You can now connect the TV and the computer through the HDMI cable after installing the appropriate converter or adapter, if required. Unless the computer is enabled with HDMI output, you will also require cords for connecting the sound card output to the HDMI adapter or cable as HDMI technology can transmit both audio and video output together.

Now boot your computer, configure the new output device by going to the Control Panel display settings tab. Consult you HDMI TV manual for the listing of the screen resolutions and refresh rate your TV supports. You can configure the resolution of the TV from the settings tab. You can choose the advanced option for setting the refresh rate.

If you are willing to use the TV as a second monitor, you will also need to configure how your operating system is going to utilize it as per the instruction provided in the video card manual. In case of any difficulty, you can consult Microsoft Technical Support available online. Most of the video cards offer the option of using multiple output devices in multiple ways. In the mirror mode, you can have the same display in both the screens whereas in the extended desktop mode, each monitor will operate independently.

Reboot the computer for applying the changes if required and go to your couch to enjoy movies or sports on your newly created big screen.

Since your computer is now connected to your big screen HDMI TV, you can obtain a cordless keyboard and mouse to control your computer from the couch as well.
