do you still connect your laptop to your tv using hdmi??
Yes Mr. @hownos, I do it all the time. Actually, I don't see other options. Yes, smart TVs appeared during the last years but my old Full HD LG gives so great picture that I don't think to change it for now. So, I'm still with HDMI.

My TV refuses to connect to the wi-fi signal, so yup, still do it the old way and it works just fine.

On modern tvs you can get the internet on the television.
Some of them have youtube like apps I guess.

No I haven't ever connected a laptop to a tv by HDMI. Why would someone want to do that?

You could try casting. I find it doesn't always work

I was watching something the other day on my laptop, and the camera work was so gorgeous I thought, "What heck am I doing, plug this into the TV" - 53 inch was much better than 15.
(and as I said earlier, my TV steadfastly refuses to connect to wi-fi, and my troubleshooting has failed, so that's why the plug in option and not the other)

But to answer the question. I don’t anymore. I don’t really need to have my computer screen put up on my tv. I either cast stuff or use apps (through my NVIDIA Shield) or sometimes I transfer large 4K files to a hard drive and plug that in the Shield as well.
But mostly doing stuff wireless these days.

You can hook a laptop up to a TV?
P.S. What is a "laptop"?

I'm a tech idiot. A simple question... when you connect a laptop to the television to watch a film does the quality suffer at all going to a bigger screen?
I want Disney+ but my cable company doesn't offer it/the app on their cable box, but I can watch it via laptop and hdmi cable.
