I Have A Sanyo Lcd Hdtv That I Am Trying To Connect To My My Laptop Computer How Do I Do This?
I am trying to use an s video cord to connect my tv and my laptop together
The tv is a sanyo lcd hdtv and the laptop is an HP. Can anyone tell me the steps to use my tv as a monitor? My computer isn’t even recognizing the tv. I am also using windows 7 ultimate.
You neglected to mention what kind of video ports are on your HP and on the Sanyo LCD HDTV. That’s important info, because you might have better alternatives available than that S-video crap.
Keep in mind the best connection is HDMI, which some HP laptops have and virtually all HDTVs also have. HDMI is the best and easiest way to connect a laptop to an HDTV.
Some HDTVs also have a VGA input, which most HP laptops also have. This is also a good way to connect a laptop to an HDTV.
Both HDMI and VGA are FAR superior to S-video. Don’t use that low-definition S-video garbage except as a last resort.
