Connecting a laptop to a Roku TV using HDMI is a simple process that allows you to share content from your laptop on the larger screen of your TV. Here are the steps to follow:
Check the HDMI ports on your laptop and TV
Before you begin, ensure your laptop and TV have HDMI ports. These are typically located on the back or side of the devices.
Get an HDMI cable
Next, you’ll need an HDMI cable to connect your laptop to your TV. Ensure the cable is long enough to reach your laptop to your TV.
Connect the HDMI cable to your laptop and TV.
Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on your laptop and the other end into the HDMI port on your TV.
Change the input on your TV
Once the HDMI cable is connected, you’ll need to change the input on your TV to the HDMI port you are using. It is usually done by pressing your TV remote’s “Input” or “Source” button.
Test the connection
After changing the input, you should see your laptop’s screen displayed on your TV. If you don’t see anything, try unplugging and reinserting the HDMI cable, or ensure the TV is set to the correct input.
That’s it! You should now be able to share content from your laptop on your TV.
