We started with the connections without Internet, the connections with cable. A priori it is simpler to connect the PC to the TV with a cable, especially if it is a laptop. Just look at what ports of entry the TV has and what ports the computer has. From there you just have to buy the cable that allows us to connect the computer on TV. Keep in mind that you will need a cable long enough to reach the PC to the TV.

One of the most common connections on the HDMI . The majority of televisions and new computers incorporate this connection that allows us a connection of video and audio in a single cable of high definition. If the sound is not heard or the sound is played on the computer, the output of the HDMI sound from the PC must be enabled. For that, click on the speaker with the right button and select "production devices". In "properties" enable the option "Use of this device".

If the TV or the PC are older you can use a scart to connect them. Remember that the yellow connector is a composite video cable that the RCA (white and red) are for sound. In this article we tell you how to connect a computer with RCA.

The third option is to use a VGA (analog) or DVI (digital) connection, although in this case the TV would work as a monitor. To solve this problem, we can use a headphone jack (minijack) to connect the computer to the computer's audio input on the TV. In the background is a connection similar to HDMI but with two cables.

If we want to connect through Internet there is only one option where we have to use a cable, connect the TV to the router through an RJ-45 connector (like the one that connects the router to the phone). Of course, this option has some drawbacks such as that the router must be near the TV so that the cable arrives and no signal is lost and that the rest of the PC in the house must connect wirelessly.
