How to connect your laptop to a TV?

If you have a laptop with HDMI output, (the new laptops have them) just connect that to the HDMI inputof the HDTV. Select the HDMI input option in your HDTV.You will see what you see on the laptop monitor of the laptop. So your HDTV will function as a large screen monitor.

If you have an old Laptop you can connect the 15 pin VGA output to the 15 pin
RGB of the HDTV and select the Function key number in the laptop ( just like you would have done if you were using data projector) that will transfer the
signal to the HDTV monitor. However, you have to connect the speaker output to
the audio input of the HDTV to hear the sound.

So it is possible to see Netflix, Youtube, and even DVD (if your Laptop is capable of playing it)
on the larger HDTV screen.

Good luck
