To connect your laptop to a TV, first check the side of your laptop to see if it has an HDMI port. This is a thin port that looks like a narrow trapezoid. If your laptop has an HDMI port, plug an HDMI cable into your TV, then plug the other end into your laptop. Now your laptop screen should appear on your TV screen. If your laptop doesn't have an HDMI port, you can use an adapter to connect an HDMI cable to your laptop and TV. Alternatively, you can use a VGA cable or a mini displayport cable to connect your laptop to your TV if they both have the right outputs. For a wireless option, use a wireless receiver and transmitter. Plug the transmitter into your laptop and connect your laptop to the TV in the wireless device menu on your computer. If you have a smart TV and a newer laptop, go into your computers Bluetooth control menu and find the connected devices. Select the TV and then turn on the screen mirroring on your TV. To connect a laptop to a Chromecast, first make sure that the TV and laptop are on the same wireless network. Then, open a Google Chrome browser on your laptop.
