Hooking up my pc to my hdtv

i have a pavilion s5705f pc and want to know if i can hook it up to my lg lm4600 hdtv but my computer only has dvi output, and will the image be a good one?

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion Slimline s5705f Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model uses an integrated nVidia GeForce 6150SE chipset supporting one VGA output only. There are at least two LG LM4600 HDTV models available, so I can't pinpoint the exact specs of your HDTV. It appears that both LG HDTVs support input from a computer via the VGA/RGB - PC input on the back of the HDTV and that sound can be routed from the computer to the HDTV via the TVs PC Audio input jack.

  • Can I hook up Apple TV to my HDTV? If so, do I need anything other than the Apple TV box?

    Can I hook up Apple TV to my HDTV? If so, do I need anything other than the Apple TV box?

    You'll need an HDMI cable to hook it to your TV.  Once you have that, you just have to plug in the Apple TV power and then plug it into the television using the HDMI cable.
    EDIT:
    If you don't have wireless you'll also need an ethernet cable to hook the Apple TV up to your router so you can stream content from the internet.

  • What cable do I need to hook-up my laptop to my HDTV

    I am purchasing my new MacBook air tommorow and I just want to know what cable I need to buy to hook-up my MacBook air to my HDTV, preferably using the HDMI connection if possible.

    You'll need to purchase a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI adapter. Apple does not make one, but many retail stores carry an aftermarket one from Moshi.

    There are other ones, much cheaper ones.

  • Hooking my MacBook up to my hdtv

    I have a new hdtv and I would like to hook my Mac up to it so that I can watch the shows and videos that I have on my Mac on my tv. I looked in the store, but since I am not sure what it is that I am looking for, I wasn't able to find anything. What do I need to do this?

    If I may jump into this discussion, I would recommend either the HDMI or DVI port. Either way you will also need a separate audio cord since the mini-DVI does not have the audio channel. IF you go with the HDMI port on your TV, it will be necessary to have an audio port on the same input. I realize this may not be clear.
    On my Sony, I have 3 HDMI inputs, but only one of them allows for a separate audio channel (if needed.) Your DVI input CERTAINLY will have a separate audio input.
    It is my understanding that HDMI and DVI are exactly the same EXCEPT for the audio channel.

  • Hook up my iPad to my HDTV

    I bought a cable and an iPad adapter to hook my iPad to my HDTV so I could look at my photos on the big screen and watch netflix movies. It worked fine for a while, then just stopped working. Can this problem be fixed?

    Restart the devices. Try different apps. Try to remember whether there were any iOS or app updates that coincide with the time it stopped working.
    Are the cables official Apple ones, or third-party ones?

  • How to hook my macbook up to my hdtv

    how do i hook my macbook up to my hd tv

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
    And also what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI, Composite or HDMI. (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)

  • Hooking up my DTT2500 to my HDTV

    Obviously, I have a set of old speakers, but I want to get the best use out of them.
    I have a Samsung 42" DLP (HL-R4266W) (The manual can be found here)
    It has standard component (left/right) sound output and Digital Audio Out (Optical). Is there any cable I can get (Creative part #, or otherwise) that will let me hook up my DTT2500 speaker system?
    Message Edited by NickBurns on 12-16-2005 05:18 AM

    NickBurns,
    Since the DTT2500 doesn't have any optical input. You probably only left with the standard RCA output from your TV. A standard 3.5mm stereo minijack to dual RCA cable should be what you need.

  • I am trying to hook the mbp up to my HDTV but the connector is too short...

    www.monoprice.com
    can you direct me to a longer cable (or extender) with which to connect my computer to my HD TV? I have hdmi, dvi, component, and other lower ones but would prefer dvi.

    Instead of getting an extension cable, why not just get a new cable of whatever length you require? That will avoid the extra, intermediate connection an extender causes.

  • Which Adaptors/Cords do I need to hook my  mid-2010 Macbook Pro into my new HDTV?

    I heard they changed the port (to include audio as well as video) after my model and I want to make sure I order the right adaptors so I can hook my macbook into my new HDTVs HDMI port.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks,
    Jake

    I don't know that it will carry audio on a mid-2010, but for less than $7 you can try this adapter from Monoprice.
    Worked great on my late 2011. Should work for you.

  • IMac hooked up to HDTV - display and colours

    Hi
    I have hooked up my iMac to my HDTV Panasonic TC 26LX70
    It works pretty well, i have 2 issues though:
    Each time i hook up the imac to the hdtv, the display for my imac changes automatically. I tried to find the good setting in systems preferences but so far nothing great. I still have the display of the imac re-initializing eah time
    The colours on the HDTV are not as good as on the iMac screens, they are more "HDTV" like, too bright, too flashy. How can i get the same ones than on the mac?
    Please I would appreciate your opinions
    Thx

    If you have it set to +Mirror Displays+ in System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab, you should uncheck that setting. Then, the two screens together will show an extended Desktop, as represented in the diagram on that preference pane, and you will be able to set the resolution on the two screens independently. So you can use the optimum settings for each screen; the standard HD resolution for most HDTVs is 1920x1080 (1080p).

    In as much as this is really not a "Using Mac OS X Leopard" forum problem but more of an iMac display issue why not post in the appropriate iMac hardware forum?

  • "Arrangement" tab missing, can't display Macbook on HDTV

    Hello,
    I have a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter, an HDMI cable and an HDTV. I'm trying to hook up my Macbook to the HDTV, but I'm having trouble because the "Arrangment" tab is missing in the Display settings.
    The crazy thing is that I've successfully mirrored displays countless times before, with the same cables, Macbook, and HDTV. But one day the "Arrangement" tab decided not to show up, and I'm at the end of my rope trying to figure out what happened or what I did differently.
    The HDTV recognizes that the HDMI cable is plugged in, and the Macbook recognizes when it is connected to the TV as well, flashing blue when I plug or unplug the mini-DVI adapter. I've tried everything I can think of: restarting, unplugging everything and plugging it all back in, sleeping and waking the computer, trying to connect the Macbook while plugged in and while just running on the battery, turning everything off before disconnecting and reconnecting the cables - everything. No matter what I try, clicking "Detect Displays" still does nothing, my HDTV's screen remains blank, and the "Arrangement" tab remains absent.
    I've done everything short of buying new cables, which I don't want to do because I know that what I have works!
    Any suggestions? I've really missed watching things on my HDTV. Thanks for your time!

    After much fiddling with display resolutions and TV setting, and several calls to Apple help, problem was found to have a really basic solution: replace the RCA connector cable. The old one was shot.

  • HDMI overscan to HDTV issue on x120e

    I get very annoying overscan when i hook my x120e up to my Samsung UN55C6500 via HDMI. It's fine via VGA, but not via HDMI. CCC has no setting (that I can find) to fix the issue.
    XBMC has it's own overscan correction so it's fine but win7 is very frustrating.
    any solutions?

    Has there been a fix to this problem? I have had my x120e for nearly a year, but just tried to hook it up to my 1080p HDTV via HDMI for the first time. The overscan issue is horrible -- it's not off by just a pixel or two, but by a lot! I'm running the HDTV at 1920x1080 in extended monitor mode, not cloned mode, in Windows 7 64-bit, and I have the latest ATI drivers and CCC per the Lenovo x120e driver page.
    Further, while the ATI documentation claims that it can be adjusted using the overscan slider, there is no such option anywhere in the actual software -- it's as if the help manual and the software are out of sync. I've tried everything I can find in CCC, but no luck. Meanwhile, the HDTV works just fine with my cable box, my Blu-ray player, and my other laptop via HDMI. So this is definitely an x120e/ATI issue, not a problem with my HDTV. I'll never buy another Lenovo with AMD/ATI graphics -- I've had compatibility problems with a couple of them now, but never with Intel graphics. For crying out loud, this is a digital display, not a CRT, so why should any adjustments be needed at all??
    Help! Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks

  • How To Get Sound To Play Out From MBP Onto HDTV?

    I hooked up my MBP to my HDTV last night using the DVI - HDMI cable and had no issues with picture.
    This is the model of HDTV I have: http://www.hitachidigitalmedia.com/product_techspec.do?pt=17&pg=69&proid=593
    I then connected plugged in a phono L+R to 3.5mm Jack Audio Cable from the headphone port on my Mac to the PC Audio Input on the TV. Nada sound.
    Then tried connecting to the Audio Input points on the TV. Still nothing.
    The only Audio sockets my HDTV has are:
    Audio Input •
    PC Audio Input •
    Audio Line Out •
    Headphone Socket •
    Component Audio
    so don't think I can use TOSLINK either.
    Can anyone help? Spent last night with picture off the HDTV but sound off a set of external Creative speakers hooked up to the MBP.
    Thank You,
    Arivind Abraham

    I think that the audio cable from the MBP to the audio inputs on the TV would have worked if you had gone to System Preferences -> Sound -> Output and assigned the output there. YMMV

  • Probs connecting 13"MBP to HDTV via Receiver

    Hi guys,
    I tried to hook up my MBP to my HDTV via my Onkyo receiver using the Mini Displyport-HDMI cable.I got a weird colour screen on my MBP and then it went blank,with no picture on either the HDTV or the MBP.
    I then tried connecting directly to the HDTV using the same cable and it worked fine.
    Has anyone any ideas as to why i'm having problems connecting through the receiver?
    Cheers,
    Gary

    The receiver isn't a monitor, so it doesn't look like a monitor to the computer, and apparently it isn't "transparent" enough to let the computer see through it to your monitor or TV set.
    You may want to connect the computer's video signal directly to the TV and use the receiver only for the audio, via a separate audio cable from the computer's headphone port.
