Connect Netbook to TV: How do you connect the netbook to the TV?

For the RCA jacks, you need to get a conversion box. I've rarely seen any high quality conversions from VGA to composite video. It always looks fuzzy to me and might cost $70 just to see that. It has been a few years so perhaps there has been improvements. Just don't expect it to look as good as your netbook display. For the sound, any stereo mini to RCA cable/adaptor should work fine. You'd be using the netbook's headphone jack for sound. I haven't used this site yet but they can at least show you what's available - http://www.hdtvsupply.com/ ...and the best thing is they also show you what's fake if you check on that product. There is no VGA to HDMI cable or component video to HDMI cable. Just read the descriptions carefully.

If your tv has a VGA input then it's easy, you can just run a VGA cable (i.e. A monitor cable) from your PC/laptop to the television. However, if your tv only has HDMI and/or component inputs, then you need a VGA-to-HDMI CONVERTER, which you can search for on Amazon. The only other possibility is that some newer laptops have an HDMI output on them, in which case connecting to your tv would be easy with a basic HDMI cable.

Zhi:Thanks for all your great explanations.Maybe S.Pachella knows how to put both the pc and netbook on the same network, but I don't. Could you explain? Linking a pc w/DVD to the netbook seems like such a perfect approach. Thx.Gayle

No, you can only hook it up to a laptop. If you have an HDMI port on both your computer and tv and have an HDMI cable, then you can hook your computer to your tv and this to your computer.

Verify your computer has a HDMI port. Purchase an HDMI cable. Plug HDMI cable into tv, then into computer. Turn tv to whatever input that HDMI port is and the computer screen will show up on the tv. We use for episodes that did not Dvr and stream Internet shows on tv

Help! I am still having problems with ASUS EEE PC 1015PX-MU17-WT Netbook with a LinkStyle LK-219413 YPbPr Component to VGA Video Audio Converter. I have tested the other settings. I know the Roku box is going through the HDMI connection and my DVD player is happily going through YPbPr 1, so I should be seeing the netbook on YPbPr 2. Bright blue... no signal. What do you mean by increasing the video quality to the best the TV can use? With Windows 7 on the netbook I don't seem to have as much control... I am not able to mooch about a device manager. The options under "Appearance" are all pretty lame. How do I increase video quality? Thanks in advance for your help. --Karen Help!

Plug it into the tv first and make sure you're on the right hdmi setting.. Then plug it into the MacBook last. Sometimes it picks it up right away and sometimes I have to plug and unplug it a couple times. When it picks up the MacBook you'll have to open the movie app that you're trying to watch and click and drag as if the screen was addition to your laptop screen. It won't duplicate your monitor like a windows does. There's also a setting for mirror imagine in the status bar by where the clock is. Turn that off. If you need detailed video instructions youtube is where I got all my questions answered. Macs are annoying when it comes to hdmi crap ill give you that

I recently bought this cable, NEW VGA to TV CONVERTER S-VIDEO+RCA OUT CABLE ADAPTER to try it with my Acer Aspire One netbook but it doesn't output the video to the tv. Mind you, I'm using an s-video cable with an RCA adapter on the tv end because the tv I tried it on didn't have an s-video connector.

A cable with a mini HDTV plug on one end and a standard HDTV plug on the other is designed to view something on a TV. In my case a Nextbook. (Tablet) It will probably work for you if your TV is compatible and you select the correct HDMI input on your TV. If there is a signal present the TV will probably recognize it. (How old is TV? Mine is one year old. Good luck.

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

The computer has a VGA and DVI output. So if your Tv has a VGA input run a VGA cable from the back of the Tv to the computer or do what I did and buy a DVI to HDMI cable if your Tv has HDMI input on it.

You should. Plug in the HDTV, boot the MacBook, then close the lid and it should push the display to the external connected display, which is your HDTV.

plug the 3.5mm jack into the headphone output on your laptop and then plug the other end of the 3.5mm audio jack into the audio-in on your tv. hope this helps
