Connect laptop to projector - how it works
In this short article we explain how to connect your laptop to a projector.
How to connect laptop and projector
The decisive factor for the solution is which connections the devices have. Often both devices have an HDMI connection and you can use your normal HDMI cable, which also allows you to connect the laptop to a larger screen.
- First, find the HDMI cable. If there is another connection, you have to work with adapters. Depending on which one you need, these are available on the Internet.
- Next, plug the cable into both the screen connector on the laptop and the appropriate socket on your projector.
- And that's all there is to it. If you still want to connect speakers, you should of course check which connections are available.
- If there is only one VGA connection on the projector, the connection is also easy, if a little more complicated.
- Since most laptops these days only have an HDMI connection, you need an HDMI to VGA adapter.
- Then connect the HDMI connector of this cable to your laptop while you plug the VGA connector into the projector.
- If you do not have an HDMI connection on your laptop, you can also connect to the projector via the USB slot. The prerequisite for this is that the projector has a suitable connection. If, for example, a mini USB connection is available on the projector, you can use such an adapter, for example.
