If you would like to learn how to connect a HDMI laptop computer to a flat-panel television, this video is for you.

Seeing is believing.

Too many of the uninitiated assume that connecting a laptop computer to a flat-panel television is “geeky” and complex. Our instructional video today shows you how I did it with a HDMI-equipped laptop. Not only does the video demonstrate that it only requires a single cable, but also convincingly documents that connecting-up the cable set-top box and TiVo is far more complex than connecting the laptop to the TV.

After searching the Internet we discovered that most of the instructional videos about computer-to-television connectivity are indeed “geeky”. One reason is that most focus on the use of older connection technologies that require multiple cables. The beauty of HDMI is that a single cable transports both High Definition audio and video. It also has built-in piracy protection thereby enjoying endorsement from copyright holders.

This is Third Generation Television.
