If you already consume a lot of online content like videos, photos, television shows, movies and games on your laptop, you might as well use your huge big screen HDTV as a monitor. Howcast, one of our favorite how-to sites on the web, has put together a very straightforward and useful video on how to connect your laptop to your television.
Here is the list of items you will need to get the ball rolling:
- A laptop
- A digital television
- A male-to-male video cable of one of the following types:
- S-Video
- VGA 15-pin
- DVI
- DVI-to-HDMI
- A mini-to-RCA audio cable
- A PC-to-TV converter box
- A mini-DVI-to-VGA or mini-DVI-to-DVI adapter for Macs

This is a good lil video. It is only a matter of time (three to five years I say) before the Internet and Television (as we know it) will converge. No doubt about it.
I think more people will be doing this as online TV evolves
@ktarmen I think you’re right but I think it might take at least 5 years or longer.
@TODHD It seems like many of the tech savvy and money conscious people I know are trying to figure out ways to drop their cable bills altogether. Look for a future post about this.
