I am pretty sure that almost every laptop would have a slot\port hat connects to your TV. </p> <p>I have a newer laptop, just maybe a year old and it has an HDMI Slot<img src="http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9172/66229217.jpg" />, older ones may have an S-Video slot<img src="http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/200/2164.jpg" />. Just search around your laptop until you see the ports, and reply here with what you have. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/can-i-watch-my-computer-on-my-tv#post-98808 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 09:12:52 +0000 stonecold2129 98808@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Where do I find the connect an external device program at? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/can-i-watch-my-computer-on-my-tv#post-98746 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:06:31 +0000 0zSpitt 98746@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>the new version of firefox sure makes it difficult to put a picture up.</p> <p><a href="http://s426.photobucket.com/albums/pp348/0zSpitt/?action=view&#38;current=DSCF0063.jpg">computer on tv</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/can-i-watch-my-computer-on-my-tv#post-98734 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:08:37 +0000 takeatoke 98734@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>more than likely you should have a svideo cable on your laptop and your tv, so just connect those two, turn the tv to the right video input, then on your lap top go to connect an external device and search, then wa la, your tv just became a mirror of your laptop screen. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/can-i-watch-my-computer-on-my-tv#post-98723 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:33:23 +0000 LH 98723@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Probably, possibly. Depends what video output sockets you have on your laptop. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/can-i-watch-my-computer-on-my-tv#post-98718 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:49:44 +0000 stonecold2129 98718@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Is there anyway that I can hook my laptop up to my TV?
