You can connect a computer to a TV using a HDMI cable if both devices have compatible ports. High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) input ports are found on HDTVs and most computers. Other types of video cables that connect a computer to a TV include S-Video, Video Graphics Array (VGA) and Digital Video Interface (DVI). Verify that your computer has a HDMI output port and that your HDTV has a HDMI input port by consulting your owner’s manual. Writer Bio
