How to project a computer onto a TV?

When a computer projects a screen onto a TV, it can directly connect the computer and the TV through an HDMI cable. Secondly, if the computer is win 10 system, you can connect the computer and TV to the same network, right-click the file you want to project, and choose to play it on the device to realize screen projection. Finally, it can also realize screen projection through third-party software.

HDMI cable-the most common method

The first way to project a computer screen onto a TV is through an HDMI cable. This kind of cable can connect two different devices through wires. At present, this is the most common and practical method. In fact, even a notebook computer without HDMI port can use this method. Because you only need to buy an adapter online or in a physical store. The following are the specific operation steps of computer projection TV:

Locate the HDMI port and connect one end to the TV and the other end to the laptop. For computers without HDMI port, you can buy an adapter and plug it into your device.

Turn on both devices, and then press Enter on the remote control to select the HDMI port. In this way, you can see your computer screen on TV.

If you need to set the sound, right-click the microphone icon on your computer, and then select playback device > playback options > digital output device (HDMI)”>；; "ok"

In this way, it is very simple to put the computer on the screen TV. However, using cable connection has disadvantages. First, wired connection needs to consider the length of the cable. If the cable is short, you must put the computer near the TV. Secondly, it may be inconvenient to use wired connection for a long time, especially when there are children playing near the TV at home.

Chromecast TV stick-the most reliable method

If you find it troublesome to use cable, you can try Chromecast TV stick. It is a media device that connects a computer or a mobile device to a TV. With it, you can share music or pictures, watch and share online videos such as Tencent, Youku and iQiyi. Similar to the above method, the device connection process is very simple. You can easily put your computer on the screen TV by following these steps:

Get the Chromecast TV stick device, plug the HDMI cable into the TV port, and then connect the USB cable to any power interface or compatible port.

Search for "Google Cast" in Google Home Store and install it as an extension.

Open a new window in the browser and click the Project button.

Finally, when the laptop detects an external device, search for the TV and click to select it. In this way, the computer can be successfully connected to the TV.

Although the Chromecast TV stick is very good, because it is operated through WiFi, if the WiFi environment is not good, there will be delays or low image quality.

Milla Caster-the most popular method.

If you are not satisfied with the Chromecast TV stick, I recommend another wireless connection method-Miracast technology. It enables different devices to establish connections through wireless networks. This technology was first introduced in Windows 8. 1 and later versions, and almost all notebook computers and operating systems adopted this technology. Miracast can play high-definition video on TV, and even display all the tasks in progress on the screen. The following will specifically introduce how to project a computer onto a TV:

Go to Computer Settings, and then click Devices.

Next, select the connected device, and then click Add Device.

Wait for the computer to detect the device, and then click TV from the available options.

If your computer is not automatically connected to the TV, click the right mouse button and select Screen Settings.

After that, set up multiple screens to "copy these screens" and click "Connect wireless screens".

As soon as the TV is detected, click the Connect button to project the computer onto the TV.

Although Miracast has made a great breakthrough in connection, there are still some problems. First of all, it can't keep throwing screens. So far, no one has thought of a solution. Then, there may be some delay between the computer and TV. Finally, it can't support multitasking.
