How To Connect Laptop To TV

Laptop to TV cable connection is not complex task. They’re easy and simple. All you need is the proper cable and a few adjustments to your laptop settings.

Cables & Jacks for Connecting Laptop to TV

The first step is to inspect both your laptop and TV and identify the connections, easily located on the back of either component. There are five basic types of jacks, or ports involved:
*Composite/phono plug (RCA)
*S-Video
*Video graphics array (VGA)
*Digital video interface (DVI)
*High-definition multimedia interface (HDMI)
*An RCA connector, sometimes called a phono connector, is used for analog audio and video components. Three round, colored sockets are standard — left audio is white, right audio is red, and composite video is yellow. These are standard jacks on older TV’s and laptops. A three-prong cable, readily available at any computer or electronics, is the easiest way to make an RCA laptop to TV connection.
*S-Video, or Super-Video, a more advanced analog video connector, uses a four-prong round plug, like those used in TV cable installations. Separate audio cables are the same as for the RCA connector, left audio/white, and right audio/red. S-Video is commonly found on older TV sets and some laptops.
With S-Video on both TV and laptop, connecting a laptop to a TV is a simple matter of a single S-Video cable. If your laptop has a great sound system, you won’t need audio cables, but for better quality you’ll also want audio cables.
RCA to S-Video cable, a special laptop to TV cable, is available when you have RCA jacks on one device and an S-Video port on the other.

Lenovo Unveils 3D Laptop


Lenovo has introduced its first laptop capable of displaying movies and pictures in 3D. The consumer laptop supports 3D through technology from TriDef 3D (TrfiDef 3D technology supports displaying movies and pictures in 3D with polarize glasses and the laptop includes Lenovo technology that supports combining hard disk drives with SSDs. ), which provides the player software and the polarized glasses needed to view 3D content.

In entering the 3D market, Lenovo joins rivals Acer, Asus and Toshiba who use Nvidia's 3D Vision technology, which includes software, a GeForce graphics card and special glasses.
Much of the 3D-related media attention is directed at high-definition television makers. The manufacturers see 3D as a way to drive sales of high-end systems, which carry fatter profits than commodity systems.
Without HDTV’s to push, computers makers are outfitting desktops and laptops to take advantage of the 3D craze. Lenovo's Y560d features a 15.6-inch, high-definition 16:9 widescreen. Besides showing 3D content, the TriDef software can also convert 2D videos and photos to 3D.
