How can I connect my computer to my television screen?

Can I connect my television to my computer to act as a screen?

  • I don't have cable, so I watch netflix and hulu and stuff online. Is there some kind of cord or magic box that would allow me to watch the internet on my tv? The tv is a Phillips flatscreen, and I have DSL and an Xbox 360, if any of that helps. Thanks!

    You mean like this? http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/armchairaviator/computer/IMG_0880c.jpg My computer has a DVI port, which is compatible with the HDMI ports on the HDTV. It's connected using a DVI-to-HDMI cable. As you can see in the photo, it works perfectly.

If you have an hdmi connection on the back of your tv and also on your computer you can buy a cheap hdmi cord from http://monoprice.com/ If you have a vga connection on both the back of your tv and your computer you can connect it using that and also getting a cheap cord from monoprice also.

Yeah I know.

if the tv has a blue connection input, like that same kind on a PC monitor or on the back of the PC. Then you can just reuse the cable. You cant do in wirelessly you need a cable or if your Tv has the right connection

My laptop has a HDMI port, and came with the cable (HDMI) so I plug that into my TV and it work.. So all you need is.. A laptop that has the port A hdmi cable ( you can always buy one for like 10-20 dollars) and a tv that supports HDMI and has the port, most modern day TV has it. Once you plug everything in, mess around with the TV menu, and probably your laptop setting too.
