There are a couple of ways you can connect your home cinema to your PC. You can use an HDMI cable or a WHDI kit.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Method 1: Use an HDMI cable
Step 1. Get an HDMI cable
Make sure it's long enough - 4.5 meters should be fine.
Step 2. Connect the cable to the computer
The HDMI port is located behind the CPU for desktop computers; for laptops, it is usually located on the sides of the unit.
Step 3. Connect the cable to the TV
The HDMI port should be on the back of the TV. Connect the cable to the first HDMI port on the TV.
Step 4. Make sure everything is connected well and choose HDMI as the TV channel
Now, your TV should show your computer desktop, and you can use it as a monitor for watching movies and videos.
Method 2 of 2: Method 2: Use a WHDI Kit
Step 1. Buy a WHDI Kit
By doing this, you will enable wireless streaming viewing between your PC and your TV in 1080p resolution.
Step 2. Connect the transmitter to your PC
Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the PC and the other into the transmitter.
Some kits only have a USB stick as a transmitter. Some have small boxes that require additional energy
Step 3. Plug the power adapter into the transmitter and the other end into an electrical outlet
Step 4. Do the same for the receiver, but this time, connect the HDMI cable to the back of your TV
Step 5. Turn on all devices and set the TV channel to HDMI
Step 6. Watch movies and videos on your TV without a PC
Advice
- Using an HDMI cable is the older method, and probably also the most cumbersome, because it requires the PC to be connected to the TV through the cable. If you are using a laptop, you will not be able to move!
- Using a WHDI kit is the best way to connect your home cinema to your PC because it will allow you to view streaming video in high quality without any noticeable delay.
