Question

How can you view videos from your computer or laptop on a tv?

Answer 1

vga to rca,

vga to rca (HD)

if u have a nice sound system for ur laptop then get an s-video jack.

Answer 2

you have a LOT of options.

you can burn a dvd of course, or if you have a video player (like an xbox 360 or ps3) that takes flash drives, you can play it through that....but only certain basic video formats like avi or mp4.....or stream wma videos to your 360 with windows media center.

depending on your tv you can also connect your computer to through vga or dvi and use your tv as a monitor if it has the correct hookups....I guess you could get a vga or dvi to composite, component, or s-video and hook it up as well.

Answer 3

IT IS CALLED A"PC TO TV"CONVERTER.THIS LITTLE BOX HAS ALL THE VARIOUS ADDED INPUT AND OUTPUT JACKS ALREADY ON IT.IT HAS A VARIABLE SCREEN ADJUSTMENT THAT WILL FIT THE PC VIDEO OUTPUT TO THE SIZE OF THE TV SCREEN.THEY ARE REASONABLY PRICED AND SAVE A LOT OF HASSLE.

Answer 4

Computer tech here.....The S-Video port can be found on laptops nowadays and there is an S-Video port on televisions as well and you can purchase a wire with S-Video plugs on each ends. Laptops usually comes preinstalled with a special software that transmits the video from the laptop to the t.v. through the S-Video wire. For computers, they are optional. Some will not have that, others may have it. You can purchase a special card for a computer that has an S-video port and usually comes with extras as well. Hope this helps.
