Watch TV

Most personal computers can be connected to TV sets. This means you can double your computer screen on a TV. This is mostly usefull when you have a movie on your computer that you want to watch on a bigger screen. Here is how to connect your PC to your TV.

First, you need to check what kind of TV output your PC has. Note that some cheaper notebooks and laptop computers might not have any output at all. This means you probably can not connect your PC to you TV. In such case, there is only one solution. If your TV has a connecting pins for a computer monitor, you can connect your TV with your PC via standart computer screen cable. This will mean that there will be no sound from the TV (since the cable only transmits picture). If you need sound on your TV, you can connect PC and TV using standard sound cable (it has the same 3,5mm plug as your headseats, but instead of having headsets at one end, it has connector on both).

Best way to connect your PC with a TV set is by using a HDMI cable. HDMI cable is a cable that will transfer picture and sound in high quality. It is a standard today and all the new TV sets and most of computers have it. In order to use HDMI cable, make sure your computer has HDMI connection (it is usually marked as HDMI). Also, make sure your TV set has the same. If you have a never LCD, plasma or LED display, you can be almost certain that it has one. Prices of HDMI cables can vary and can even cost up to $1000. You best bet is to buy one online, where you can get them for as little as $4.95.

There aren’t many TV sets out there that would be Wi-Fi enabled and would allow you to surf the web like you do with your laptop or smart phone.

I don’t see any reason why a TV set could not double as a PC as well. For example, Apple’s iPad or Samsung’s Galaxy Tab are a small tab computers that can do almost anything that a regular computer does. So why not put Android system on a TV, enable it with a Wi-Fi and create some kind of wireless mouse to use it from your arm chair? Or make something similar like Microsoft did with Kinetic. You could use your hands and wave in the air in order to flip pages, select things or even type on a virtual keyboard.

Well the last one would probably be super hard to make, but the idea of having a web browsing device or even full Android system on your TV sounds great. What do you think? Tell me below in comments.
