Question

My computer does not have an HDMI port, or an RGB, just USB ports.

Community Answer

Buy a double USB port. Or buy a USB port connected to HDMI. Then connect it to your TV. Or you can buy a computer with an HDMI port.

Yes. Use an HDMI cable and connect your computer to your TV. Then, on your PC, go to your monitor settings and select project to a second monitor.

Question

What is the maximum length of HDMI cable that can be used?

Community Answer

You can use a 50' HDMI cable before you start to notice signal degradation, though you may have a difficult time finding an HDMI cable longer than 25' unless you order online.

Question

How do I connect my smart TV to wireless?

Community Answer

Look for the VGA cord port on the back of your television, and use a VGA cord to connect your computer and television. Note: Newer Apple computers and Apple Air computers tend to not feature VGA ports; in this case you may have to buy an Apple VGA adapter.
