Connect HDMI Cable to Devices That Support It:
Before we get into the connecting details, let’s go through three key considerations when purchasing an HDMI cable:
Understanding HDMI: As previously said, HDMI cables transport digital audio and video data from one component to another (for example, from your gaming console to your HDTV). The HDMI cable, like a USB cable, is a simple plug-and-play device that only fits one way into the HDMI port.
length of signal boosters and use of signal boosters: Purchase a longer cable than you anticipate. If the distance between your TV projector and TV display is four feet, for example, choose a cable length of at least 4.5 feet or the next length size up to allow for some slack between the two applications. This eliminates any physical strain on the cable length.
Signal boosters, such as amplifiers or built-in circuits, are required for cables longer than 25 feet.
Expensive cables: There’s no difference between a $5 HDMI cable and a $100 one that claims to provide “additional/better” signal quality. The only component of the cable that may cost you a little extra money is its durability. Are you often plugging in and out? Choose a line that is strong enough for the job.
Let’s look at how we link Band ridge HDMI cables to various devices.
How can I connect my laptop to my television through HDMI?
Locate your computer’s or laptop’s HDMI ports. Newer PCs have HDMI ports built-in, while laptops support HDMI via a port on the rear end or side. If you have an older computer, you may need to replace the video card with one HDMI compatible.
Choose a display option that works for you. Right-click your desktop in Windows and select “Screen resolution.” Select “System Preferences” and then “Displays” for Apple users.
How to Connect a Home Theater System to a Television
Look for HDMI ports and determine which HDMI version your TV supports. It should be ARC 1.4. (Audio Return Channel). This version of HDMI and succeeding versions is supported by the majority of televisions built after 2009. Separate audio is required to connect the TV to the receiver if the TV does not support HDMI 1.4. If you’re watching TV through a cable box, don’t bother about ARC because the audio signal comes from the cable box to the receiver.
HDMI-CEC is a standard that allows you to operate all your HDMI-connected devices with a single HDMI remote. HDMI-CEC can be turned on in your device’s settings menu, and it can be used to control any device you choose.
Connecting a Video Game Console to a Television
HDMI is supported by consoles such as the Xbox 360 (most of them), Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and Wii U. Wii and the original Xbox 360 do not have this feature. Connect your console to your TV’s HDMI port.
Select the proper input channel (to which your console is attached) from the inputs menu, just as you did in the previous two examples.
All consoles recognize the HDMI connection and automatically preset it for the best settings. When you start the console for the first time after connecting the HDMI cable, it may take you through a quick setup process.
