How to Connect Laptop to TV (Wireless & HDMI)

About this video

Kevin covers both wired and wireless ways to show a laptop screen on a TV. For the wired route he plugs an HDMI cable between the laptop and TV, using a USB-C to HDMI adapter if the laptop lacks an HDMI port, then selects the matching HDMI input with the TV remote’s Input or Source button. Pressing Windows plus P on the laptop lets you duplicate the display, extend it, or show only on the TV. For wireless casting, the TV needs to support Miracast, which most newer TVs do, or a Miracast adapter can be added. Pressing Windows plus K lists available displays to cast to, selecting Screen Mirroring on the TV if needed, and Windows plus K again controls whether the TV duplicates or extends the desktop.

Key takeaways

• HDMI is the simplest, most reliable laptop-to-TV connection
• Use a USB-C to HDMI adapter if your laptop has no HDMI port
• Select the exact HDMI input you plugged into on the TV
• Press Windows+P to duplicate, extend, or show only on the TV
• Press Windows+K for wireless Miracast casting to a supported TV
