How to connect your Laptop to HDTV
This article is going to introduce different ways to connect your PC/Mac to HDTV!

1. Through VGA port
The most common and feasible method for most PCs will be using the VGA cable. VGA refers to Video Graphics Array. It allows you to mirror or extend your computer desktop to TV. But the problem is that you can't get audio through the VGA cable and the resolution is not good enough especially for the big HDTV.

2. Through DVI Port
Some laptops have the DVI port. DVI refers to Digital Visual Interface. It's a revolutionary update from the "analog signal" to the "digital signal". Still DVI doesn't carry audio so it is used mainly to connect to external monitors.
3. Through HDMI port
Many HPs and Dells have the HDMI port. This is really nice since you just need one simple HDMI cable and it will transfer both video and audio with High Resolution.
