 * Connect a Laptop to a TV **

There are plenty of reasons to connect your laptop to your TV so you can view whatever's displayed on the PC's screen on your TV. Maybe you have got a number of video clips and photos stored on your PC that you would like to see on a big screen. Here is how :-
 * Step one **

You will need to start by looking at the ports on both your Television and your laptop. There will be at least one of the following connections;:- Composite, S-Video, VGA, DVI, or HDMI port for connecting an external display. However, you will only be able to use whichever you have a corresponding port on your TV. Check which port your machine has and then connect the second display. Note:- If you use S-Video, the audio will continue to be served through the laptop, which is great if your laptop has a good sound system. If not, you will need a connector that handles audio too.
 * Step two **

Next you need to configure the settings for the second monitor in Windows. From the Start Menu, select Control Panel and then open the Appearance and Personalization menu. Select **Connect an external display** from the Display menu. Make sure the display is duplicated on the TV, rather than being used to extend the desktop of your PC.
 * Step three **

From this window you also adjust the resolution for the laptop's display and the TV, as if the resolution and aspect ratio of your TV and laptop do not match, your picture will be distorted. From the Display drop-down menu select the relevant display, and then press the Resolution button. Next use the slider to adjust the resolution. However, it is advisable to use the recommended resolution ( which will be identified in your manuals) for each of the displays. Now you can watch content stored on your PC upon your TV.
