PC to TV video question: How do you get your laptop to project its image onto your tv?

you have to toggle the video you want to be the primary at your laptop keyboard. Look at your function keys on your laptop. you may have a VGA input on the video/ audio panel on your TV. If so, you can used the VGA OUT ON YOUR LAPTOP and the video in on your TV.

If you are trying to send video from the laptop to the TV, I don't think so. The old TV requires the video be sent on a "channel". This will not make the video on a channel. I use mine to send video from an old VCR to a HDMI input of a HDTV.

A vga cable should do the trick, if your laptop does not have a vga port connect it to the projector and manage your display settings until it works, you can have it set to work on multiple workspaces or just mirror your screen like a regular monitor.

No, this will not do what you are attempting. You either need to get a USB to VGA adapter that will allow your PC to output its video via the USB and then a cable to connect the VGA end of the adapter to the VGA input on your TV. Not sure what sort of computer you are using, but I've never seen one that doesn't either have a VGA output or come with a converter to allow VGA output (unless it is a slim Chromebook or similar).

If you see the screen that means it's working. Go to the Apple logo and choose System Preferences-&gt;Displays. If you are trying to use it as a Television to play media from the computer to the TV, you should probably click "Arrangement" and then click "Mirror Displays" at the bottom. It will then show whatever is on your desktop. Right now it is using the TV as a second monitor, so you can drag windows over to the tv off the right side of your main laptop onto the tv.

This device is not for transmitting anything from PC... this device is for accepting video signal from outside. If you want a device which will let you share computer screen then check what inputs your TV has... very likely it will have HDMI or DVI input and then check what outputs your notebook has. Almost all notebooks has VGA output... or even DVI, so you just need a cable/converter from your port TV port.

the box uses a VGA Output, not sure if you can you a laptop, as its an output not an input, you might need a monitor for a VGA input

I can't imagine it not working. This is a fairly simple piece of equipment. I think, maybe, the emphasis on laptops is because most laptops tend top come "fully loaded" for multi-media whereas desktops - maybe not. My Dell laptop already had all the software I needed to use the camera. If you don't have the software to process the signal coming from the camera, you might need to download something.

Generally you would hook this up to a laptop/PC and load your images onto the laptop/PC and display them from there. This is a monitor, not a all-in-one 3D picture frame, so it needs a computer or some other device (that has HDMI out) to process the picture. I would think a low-budget (even an old) laptop you could get at an auction site (you know the one) could handle the picture processing part. Granted, the laptop needs to be recent enough to have HDMI.

Yes. You can use it similar to a wireless projector. Once you connect it to your TV, everything you do on your computer/laptop will be shown on the TV

Try hooking up to the tv first. The computer should recognize the recommended format and resolution. If that don't work then it could be your graphics card on your computer is outdated if your tv is a newer model.

unless it has new native software updates within it, it is plugged into a usb connector and functions through the computer imaging software system. Newer "smart tvs" may have some ability to interface with graphics transfer. I believe you still need a computer at this time. Ours works with a laptop.

The easiest way would be with an HDMI cable (assuming your laptop has one).

Your TV MUST have a VGA imput Plug IN and also an INPUT jack for Audio... 3.5 standard. If it doesn't have either of these then you can not connect your laptop to your TV that way. Maybe you just need a HDMI cable.

No, not unless you share your screen/presentation with something like a Chromecast or Apple TV. The projector allows you to plug in a USB Flash Drive, a micro SD card, or use the built in 2GB flash storage to transfer your presentation to the projector and then the projector will render and control the presentation by itself. You can plug the projector into your laptop via HDMI or VGA, but in order to "beam" over the presentation from a laptop you would need a receiver of some type.

Most likely you are not selecting an appropriate display resolution or frame rate to send to the TV. The highest settings this Tv can accept from the PC input is 1024x768x60Hz Right click your Desktop -&gt; Properties -&gt; Settings Tab -&gt; Click on the secondary display device (Your TV) -&gt; Advanced -&gt; Adapter -&gt; List All Modes -&gt; Select "1024 by 768, True Color (32bit), 60 Hertz" -&gt; Click "Ok" 3 times to get back to the desktop -&gt; It should work now
