The buyer faces a bewildering range of cable options when trying to join together their Pc to their Tv.

Hdmi cables are by far the most favorite cable of option nowadays, but consumers are ill-informed that they have other options of connecting their television to their computer.
So, what are the 'other options' of connecting Pc to Tv?
If your computer, or Pc, has a Usb port or 'socket', there are many products available from numerous online retailers which will allow you to stream both audio and optical article wirelessly from your Pc, provided that your Television has a Hdmi port or socket (same thing). Fortunately, nearly all Hd Televisions on sale in the Uk are qualified with a Hdmi socket, and every new 3D television is qualified with a Hdmi port.
Connecting mini Usb and micro Usb Pc to Tv wirelessly
Some Laptops, Desktops, Tablet Pcs and even Smartphones have mini Usb or micro Usb ports, and so to stream audio and optical article wirelessly from one of these devices, you would need a micro Usb to Usb (Type A) adapter, or mini Usb to Usb (Type A) adapter to use a Wireless Pc to Tv streamer.
Connecting iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch to an Hd Television screen with a Hdmi cable.
If you want to join together your Apple iPad or iPhone to your Television screen, you can do this by using an Apple 30-Pin Dock connector to Hdmi (Type A) adapter in conjunction with a Hdmi (Type A) 1.4 cable. This blend of adapter and cable can also be used with the iPhone and iPod touch.

Is it worth investing big bucks into a snazzy Hdmi cable?
If you have just spent your hard-earned cash on a 42" Hd Television, you may think that spending 40 on a "top-of-the-range" Hdmi cable will ensure better image quality, but it is widely regarded that colse to 9.99 is a sensible estimate to spend on a Hdmi cable (to attack a good compromise between value and quality), unless you want a cable of more than 3 metres. Lengthier Hdmi cables tend to cost more than 10, but are precisely a cost-effective alternative to connecting Pc to Tv wirelessly.
If you don't know your Pc or Tv association type, use an online configurator to hunt for a Pc and Tv association by Make and Model. If you don't know the Make and Model of the Pc and Tv you want to connect, you can also hunt by cable association type.
If your laptop lacks a Hdmi input, but has a Vga socket, you have two options:
Option one: Buy a Vga (Male) to Vga (Male) cable, a Vga to Hdmi converter box, a Hdmi (Male) to Hdmi (Male) cable, and a 3.5mm Mini Jack to Rca cable
Option two: If your Pc also has a Usb socket, use that instead and buy a Wireless Pc to Tv Streamer
Option one will cost you nearly the same as the wireless Pc to Tv streamer, because the Vga to Hdmi converter box will set you back at least 39.99.
Most wireless Pc to Tv streamer devices are rated to work from a distance of up to 30 feet, so if you are planning to join together Pc to Tv wirelessly from a large distance, you will be better off using high quality Hdmi cable, Vga cable and Hdmi to Vga converter box, along with a 3.5mm Mini Jack to Rca cable.
You will need a 3.5mm Mini Jack to Rca cable when connecting using Vga because Vga does not carry audio signal. Vga ports must be used in conjunction with a 3.5mm Mini Jack to Rca cable when connecting Pc to Tv.
If you have a modern Apple laptop or Pc, you are likely to have whether a Mini DisplayPort socket or Apple Thunderbolt socket. Most new Mini DisplayPort adapters and cables are compatible with Apple Thunderbolt for connecting Pc to Tv, so if you are planning to join together your Mini Displayport or Thunderbolt qualified Apple expedient to your Apple Led Monitor, you can use a Thunderbolt cable. Like Hdmi cables, Thunderbolt also carries audio signal.
If you want to join together your Apple Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort Pc, Desktop, Laptop, Netbook or Tablet to your Hdmi High Definition Television, you can use a Mini DisplayPort to Hdmi adapter, or Apple Thunderbolt to Hdmi adapter.
Some new televisions come qualified with a Dvi port (either a Dvi-Integrated, Dvi-Analogue, or Dvi-Digital). Dvi cables do not carry audio signal, so need to be used in conjunction with a 3.5mm Mini Jack to Rca cable.
