Do they make an HDMI cable? DETAILS!!!...?

Question

So I have a Toshiba laptop, and i wanna watch movies from my laptop and have it on my TV. But the problem is my laptop doesn't have any HDMI ports :( Is there any way i can get a USB/HDMI CABLE that will connect from my USB port to the TV's HDMI port??

Answer 1

Its not possible you need to attach HDMI Adapter on your laptop so contact nearest pc provider for more details

Answer 2

No. USB hasn't the practical bandwidth to be a video output or support a real graphics adapter to provide multimedia.



If your computer has VGA only, you need to get a VGA to HDMI converter box.

Answer 3

U desire a good (and costly:(() cable for image in 1080p resolutions , for 5.a million or extra sound, in environment with numerous different electricals (shelding is crucial) and for a huge television and massive distance. For small television with undesirable decision, customary sound, short distance - u can use affordable one and it will do the activity. I recomend monster1000 - the final u can get so some distance:)

Answer 4

I'll second the recommendation for getting a dedicated set top box. I have an Apple TV and love it. I've also heard great things about Roku and WD TVs. For $99 you will have a much better and simpler experience.

Answer 5

Have you considered a small media server that lets you access HuluPlus, YouTube, Netflix, etc and hooks up to your TV with a HDMI cable? The better ones will also play .wmv, .avi, .mpg, .mp4, etc files either through a USB flash drive or even wirelessly from your laptop hard drive.



Check out the WD TV Live box which runs $99 at Best Buy. It plays most of my computer files including .mkv files.



This is usually the cleaner solution to playing computer based movies on your HDTV.

Answer 6

DVI can be made to output HDMI with a simple adapter. You may not get sound out of the laptop and onto the TV though as most laptops do not have a chipset that supports audio over HDMI.

Answer 9

If you want to use the usb with hdmi. To answer your question, there is displayport cable that runs into a hdmi adapter.

- DisplayPort into the usb out on computer, 1st hdmi cable into the hdmi out adapter to hdmi in on receiver, 2nd hdmi cable to hdmi out on receiver to hdmi in on tv.

- Note sure how to get it all to work, and if it does audio, so sorry.



Now instead of the above and if you want another method that uses hdmi, is to get a dvi-d + s/pdif to hdmi converter.

- dvi-d + s/pdif outs on computer to ins on the converter, 1st hdmi cable into hdmi out on converter to hdmi in on receiver, 2nd hdmi cable to hdmi out on receiver to hdmi in on tv.



There can be other methods like the above, but lets keep it simple.





- Hdmi and dvi have about the same video quality.

- Hdmi has better audio quality than s/pdif.

If you don't care about sound quality or want a non hdmi way.

- Dvi out on computer to dvi in on tv. (this cable does not carry audio).

or

- Dvi-d to hdmi cable (this cable does not carry audio).

- For audio you will need to use s/pdif optical or s/pdif coaxial.

(And thus the usb will work fine to tv video and audio, or the receiver+tv, so I can understand why you may want that).



If you don't got dvi, then you can find a method in the pasted information below.



For video + audio: Best.

- 1st hdmi cable to hdmi out on computer/laptop to hdmi in on receiver, then 2nd hdmi cable to hdmi out on receiver to hdmi in on tv.

or

- dvi-d + s/pdif to hdmi converter.



(Instead of to tv, you could go from receiver first, then hdmi from receiver to tv and maybe your receiver can upconvert other video signals other than hdmi-set the settings).

For video: From best to least.

- hdmi out on computer/laptop to hdmi in on tv.

or

- dvi out on computer/laptop to dvi in on tv.

or

- dvi-d to hdmi cable (does not carry audio).

or

- vga out on computer/laptop to vga in on tv.

or

- component out on computer/laptop to component in on tv.

or

- s video(super-video) out on computer/laptop to s video in on tv.

or

- composite video (video) out on computer/laptop to composite video in on tv.

or

- coax video out on computer/laptop to coax video in on tv.



For audio: From best to least.

- hdmi out on computer/laptop to hdmi in on receiver.

or

- s/pdif coaxial or s/pdif optical out on computer/laptop to s/pdif coaxial or s/pdif optical in on receiver.

or

- rca, Red (right channel) and white (left channel) stereo out on computer/laptop to in on receiver or tv.



For audio:

- You have to use a hdmi cable for audio if you have a 8 channel=7.1 surround sound speaker system hooked/wired up to your 7.1 receiver. You want to use hdmi cable for audio if your receiver supports the dolby-true-hd or dts-hd surround sound formats.

- You need to download k-lite codec pack for windows media player or media player classic and use ffdshow (output -> ac3 s/pdif encode mode+48000 hz+many other settings) to send a surround sound signal through a s/pdif cable.

- If you have a sound card that supports multi-channel audio (select output + 5.1 or 7.1.ect speaker setup).



For video:

- You need a video driver that supports multiple monitors and/or can use dual/clone view.

or

- If you cannot use the above (if your video driver is up to date and is not able to do multiple monitors or dual/clone view),

- Method 1: Use a control center for your video driver or windows media center so you can set your tv as your primary monitor+many other settings.

(I have a ati display driver, so I downloaded a matching version of my ati display driver with ati/amd catalyst control center).

- Method 2: Shut down computer, hook up video cable, disconnect your monitor (vga), turn tv onto either video 1 or hdmi or w/e works, then turn on computer and video will display on tv.
