How to connect your laptop to your TV via HDMI

One of the most reliable (and easiest) ways to connect your TV and laptop is with an HDMI cable. An HDMI cable carries video and audio signals between two devices.

HDMI cables are the same on both ends, so it doesn’t matter which one goes to the TV or laptop.

To connect your laptop to your TV with an HDMI cable:

1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI output on your laptop.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the HDMI inputs on your TV.
3. Using the remote, select the input that corresponds to where you plugged in the cable (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, etc.).

A wired connection between your laptop and TV ensures better picture quality and shorter standby time.

How to Connect Your Laptop to Your Smart TV Wirelessly

Depending on the type of computer you have, you may be able to ditch the cables and go wireless.

To connect your laptop to your smart TV:

1. Make sure both your laptop and TV are connected to Wi-Fi.
2. On your laptop, go to Settings > System > Display.
3. Under the Multiple Displays heading, click Connect to a wireless display. You should see a list of available screens.
4. When your TV appears in the list, click on it to connect your laptop.

If you don’t see your TV listed, click Detect under the Multiple Displays heading. If it still doesn’t appear, your TV or laptop may not support Miracast®, the technology that allows devices to connect wirelessly. However, you may be able to connect your laptop to a streaming device, such as a Roku® streaming stick, which you could then use to project the screen to your TV.

To connect your Apple laptop to your Smart TV:

If you have a compatible Smart TV, you can easily connect your laptop via AirPlay®. Compatible devices include Apple TV® or AirPlay 2-enabled smart TVs (ie, 2019 or newer TVs from LG®, Samsung®, Sony®, or Vizio®). AirPlay allows you to stream videos or mirror your device’s screen display to your TV.

Here’s how to connect your laptop to your TV using AirPlay:

1. Make sure your laptop and Apple TV or Smart TV with AirPlay 2 are on the same Wi-Fi network.
2. On your Mac®, go to the Control Center (icon with two switches) in the upper right corner.
3. Click Screen Mirroring.
4. Choose the device you want to share your screen with.

To end your streaming session, click Screen Mirroring, and then choose Stop Mirroring.

To connect your Chromebook to your smart TV with Chromecast:

If you want to go wireless and connect your Chromebook® to your TV without an HDMI cable, you’ll need to purchase a Google Chromecast ® to connect it to your smart TV. Here’s how to easily set it up on the Asurion YouTube channel’s Hook It Up series:

Here’s how to connect your Chromebook to your Smart TV with Chromecast:

1. Plug your Chromecast into the HDMI port on your Smart TV.
2. Using your remote control, select the HDMI input that corresponds to where you connected it.
3. In the lower right corner of your computer screen, click the time.
4. Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® are turned on.
5. Select Available Streaming Devices.
6. Choose what content from your computer you want to stream.
7. Click Share. Content from your Chromebook should appear on your TV.

To stop sharing your screen, click the time, then click Stop next to the cast screen.
