http://www.exforexbroker.com/ : In this video i explain how to connect my laptop / computer to my HDTV.
To connect your laptop/computer to your HDTV via HDMI you only need one HDMI cable.
------HOWE VER, if you don't have a HDMI connection on your laptop/computer, but have a VGA connection and a HDMI connection on your HDTV, you can connect both of them using a converter box (VGA to HDMI). Note that you have to purchase your own HDMI cable as it typically not included with converter boxes. Once you get the converter box its self explanatory to set up.

  • so when you full screen something it doesn't full screen all the way on the tv? i'm asking this cuz i'm getting my new lcd tv tomorrow

  • @tokenking420 If you full screen it, it should show on the HDTV too. Unless of course its a setting on your HDTV itself.

  • So if i use my GTX 460 from my pc and connect it to my hdtv using hdmi the sound and video will appear from the tv ?

  • @MacRezzi You got it!! pls thumbs up on vid. any further questions pls ask. thx.

  • Ive had my hdmi but my computer messed up and i changed the grapic options on my laptop and the picture has disappeared, I put it back to the way it was but now I only have sound and no picture. Please Help!

  • @HodHodDee Try this..uninstall the graphics driver, then re install it. This should do the trick! I had this happen to me before.
