How to hookup your laptop to the TV!


Nov 18, 2013, 10:17 AM

Since our game is on ESPN3, I figured I'd bring this post back out. Let me know if you have questions:

To stop the same question over and over...Your laptop will have one of these video outputs:
Port:
S-Video
VGA
DVI
HDMI
Picture of Port:
Cable needed:
S-Video/3.5mm to RCA for video & audio.

VGA/3.5mm M/M for video & audio.

DVI to HDMI for video and 3.5mm to RCA for audio.



OR

DVI to VGA for video and for audio.

HDMI M/M for video & audio.

TV Port:
(Click on image to make larger)
Plug into RCA Ports

Plug into "PC-in" VGA Port

Option A - As the picture shows, plug into designated "DVI/HDMI" port with Audio



Option B - If TV doesn't have designated "DVI/HDMI" plug into "PC-in" VGA Port

See Image to left
Plug into HDMI Port

No chance of our game being on ESPN3 only

Thanks for that though - not me, but I'm sure there are more than a few people that will come in handy for.

It's on ESPN3 for most people. It is here in Raleigh.***

The football game? In 2 weeks?


Nov 18, 2013, 10:23 AM

Hmm - if that's true, then "F* the lamecocks" (again). If that happens, it's solely because of their underperforming. Either that, or the major networks don't want to risk getting shot or their more expensive equipment getting stolen.

Sorry - yesterday there was a bunch of USC game on ESPN3 links. Turns out that was for basketball - but I was thinking we were still discussing the sc game. My apologies. At this point, I'm 100% in "kill the gamecocks mode". I'm even going to this weekends game, but all I'm focused on is next week.

what you already have available. Sounds brilliant.

Maybe if you didn't use your hubris filled post of "Apple TV..." and instead said something like "I would recommend buying an Apple TV, it can do WatchESPN and so much more", then you wouldn't come off as a douchenozzle.

Re: How to hookup your laptop to the TV!


Nov 18, 2013, 10:43 AM

My wife bought a smart tv Saturday, so I'm having enough trouble just figuring out how to access the internet with the remote. If I can get it done, will be nice to watch the game without having to sit in front of the pc monitor.

Serious question...MacBook Pro doesn't have these.

Dang it! I knew someone was going to ask me this.


Nov 18, 2013, 11:18 AM

I had this table at one point and added a column for DisplayPort (which is what your Mac has), but couldn't find it, so I used the older one in this OP. I'll see if I can find it and get you your info!

In case if I don't find it, you will need a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI cable: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024603&p_id=9476&seq=1&format=2

How about sound?


Nov 18, 2013, 11:20 AM

I have the HDMI working with my Macbook Pro using the HDMI/port adapter but can't figure out if there is a way to play the audio through my TV. I currently play it through the MacBook but I can't get it very loud.

Any ideas?

If that doesn't work, then get a 3.5mm to RCA and plug into a sound system.

Love my Chromecast, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to stream it via Chromecast without jumping through some hoops...unless you know a method I don't.

Do you know a way to cast WatchESPN?

Re: Chromecast***


Nov 18, 2013, 1:08 PM

Ah ok...I think it'd be useless for me anyway. WatchESPN isn't available in Brasil, but I just got a VPN which allows me to use services like WatchESPN, Hulu, HBO Go and get the American Netflix library...however when I try to cast through these channels, it gets an error since it switches the source from an American server to a Brasilian one.

Re: Chromecast***

You can cast from places like vipboxonline.eu using a chromecast.
