player plugs into pc via usb then into tv, but i cannot find one that will reach each other can anybody help or can i buy something thats i can bridge them together
uhh, you can buy a USB extender to connect them
Hi,
I have a TV that has an USB. I can plug in a flash drive and view the info on it (movies + music). Can I use a USB cable to plug in a laptop to the TV and use the TV screen as a monitor?
Nope, ain’t gonna work.
I hope someone can help me. I tried several ways as instructed through different website/forums/etc. Maybe theres something i am not doing right or wrong cables or maybe need a pc to tv convertor.
SPECS:
1.) toshiba satellite to Samsung 40" lcd 1080dpi
2.) pc- VGA port / tv - hdmi port
3.) cables - pc vga port - vga (male) to dvi adaptor, dvi to hdmi cable connected to tv
4.) attempted the following: pc display monitor - check extend to 2nd monitor, brought down resolution, send signal (Fn then F5 on mu pc - that’s where my monitor icon is), restarted pc, tv monitor turn off and on.
with all the attempts mention above nothing happened, the tv monitor is black that says "weak or no signal".
i am ready to give up. this is my third attempt (been changing cables already with fry’s electronics just to get the right cable).
do i need pc to tv convertor then instead of all this cable since i only have vga port in my pc???
your input is highly appreciated.
In lieu with my question, what should i do then? any other option other than using a convertor (vga to hdmi - that option is very expensive). I already tried vga to vga (male to male) cable didn’t work as well - same thing is coming up "no signal".
by the way, i also tried S-video connection already, didn’t work (my laptop supports only 4pin - not 7pin).
i guess that means i have to quit trying huh?!?!
Your cable sistem can’t work. VGA - analog, HDMI - digital, you can’t transfer from analog to digital without conversion. You need something like these http://www.nextag.com/vga-to-hdmi/search-html
My new lcd tv came with a pc hookup. The jack on the tv has three rows with five holes each and two ’screw in’ spots on the sides. I’m hoping the pc side of the cord will be usb. What is the name of the cord I would need?
It is VGA. The cable you will get has the same connector on both ends, and connects to the like port on your computer. You will also need an appropriate audio cable, which on the computer end most likely is a 3.5mm stereo, and on the TV the same, or red/white RCA.
how am I able to fix this?
I think when you are connected to HDMI, you are sending the video signal, but not the audio signal, and the regular audio will not work with HDMI. So, you probably need to get into the bios, and see if there is a set up for HDMI audio, or HD audio, or something.
Is there a certain channel you have to be on. Anyone please help
1. go to control panel
2.select intel extreme graphics 2 or whatever you have
3.you should see display devices, select TV
4. Volia!
I recently connected my tv to my PC with an HDMI cable. They both have HDMI ports and the video works fine. However the audio will only come out of my PC speakers. What do I have to do to get it to use the TV’s speakers?
I am on windows xp if that makes a difference.
If you are using HDMI with no adapters, you may need to go into the tv audio menu and change the source to HDMI.
If you are using a DVI to HDMI adapter or patch cord, DVI does not carry audio and you need to use a seperate patch cord.
i have tried many thing to connect it but have not been able to have anything displayed on my television and was wondering is i might be doing something wrong or not doing something i need to dd. i know i have the cables right but might not be pressing the right buttons i have a toshiba - satellite lap top , i have tried to press fn= f5 but that doesnt work - please help
S-video connection wont work properly with different screen sizes of laptop and TV.
Connect 15 pins male-to-male cable to TV, set TV to VGA, right click on PC screen saver and select graphic/output to/monitor. It’s done.
Where do i plug the cable into my pc(my tv can be used for this_)
Connecting your PC to your television is quite a straightforward process if you have a modern television. PCs and newer televisions feature similar input ports, so it’s often just a case of running a cable from the PC to the TV. You’ll either have a choice of D-Sub (VGA), DVI, or in some cases HDMI inputs. You will of course need to select the correct input source via your TV’s menu system, check in the manual. Yours should have options for connecting.
i need a specific male vga (for my laptop) and male red white and yellow rca cable (for my tv). does anyone know where i can find this seemingly rare cable?
