You can connect your Laptop to a TV either using an RCA / s-video conversion cable (which connects to the VGA-out on the rear of your laptop)

Some TVs have a PC-in socket, which allows you to use a HD15 VGA cable to your TV instead IMHO this gives better video quality (depending on your TV).

To connect the audio you will need to convert the Headphone/Line out socket on your laptop to match your TVs inputs for the channel you are using (Usually this is RCA) so you will need a RCA/Phono audio cable (L+R) and an adapter to convert to 3.5mm stereo male. (ensure that your laptop volume is turned up to max, as you will use the TVs vol setting to change the volume once connected)

once you have all the cables connected up you switch your TV to the appropriate AV channel, and then switch to the external display on your laptop (using Fn+F5) remembering to set your screen resolution to suit your TV/external display

you can also use this to connect your laptop to a projector

Hello, You will also need to connect the audio cable. You can use a male-male audio connector from radio shack along with the s-video cable to solve your problem.

How to connect acer aspire 5315 to LG led tv

Acer Aspire 5315 doesn't come with an HDMI port. So, you have the following options:
1. Use a VGA Cable to connect the PC to TV if the TV has PC-Input facility
2. Use an S-Video cable to the TV's S-Video-in port if the TV has it

3. Use and S-Video to HDMI converter if the TV has HDMI port
(http://www.amazon.com/Composite-S-video-Audio-HDMI-Converter/dp/B003NS0UUQ)
for audio, you can use 3.5mm to RCA (Red/White) connector to connect to TV's audio-in port.

Acer laptop tm 2420 vga output to tv not working

On most laptops there is a key combination you have to press in order to tell the computer to output to the TV. After the TV is plugged in to the VGA port, you should press the function key (Fn) and another key. I am not positive the key on Acers, but it should have an icon that looks like a laptop followed by a / and a TV.

I cant find a port in which i can connect the tv cable into my acer laptop 5920

The Acer 5920 comes with two options to connect and display the desktop onto a TV.

The First Option is the HDMI port which you can identify by looking here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

The HDMI cables cost around $14 - $20 at Target or Walmart

You must ensure that yourTV has an HDMI port or you will not be able to connect to it.

Also, the regular 5920 does not have an HDMI port, but the 5920G does, so check your model on the bottom of your laptop to be sure.

The second option is S-video, you can see that here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video

Cables are retaltively cheap, but be sure to check the connections to ensure the pins match the port.

What type to cable should I buy to connect laptop to tv

Youre laptop would have to have a video card that has a TV-out port... And for that you would have to run a S-Video cable from the TV-out port of your laptop to the S-Video port on your TV... I assume your TV has a S-Video port?
