Connecting Laptop to LCD TV

[dark_horizon]

I want to connect my laptop to my LCD TV. I have a cable which i attach in S-video ouput socket in my laptop, and the other goes in RGB socket in the TV. There is also an audio line, which goes from headphone socket in laptop to the audio socket provided below RGB in LCD in the PC in column. Now when i started my TV, and switched it to PC in mode, i am getting No Signal, although i am able to hear the songs which i play on my laptop , from my TV's speakers. only the video is unavailable. Whats the solution to this ? Also, do i have to do something software related on my laptop to transfer the display from laptop screen to TV ? i am noob to this and haven't connected my laptop to an external display source till date. Plz help.P.S - The TV is Sony - KLV - 32V300A

I have thought about it as well. And it very much possible.But you will have to spend some money for that. You need wireless video transmitter and receiver. Transmitter will connect to TV Out port in your PC and receiver will connect to AV In port in TV.It costs $80 in US.

Don't buy that particular model since it operates in 2.4 Ghz, it might interfere with WLAN. There are models in 5.x GHz range that wont interfere with bluetooth/WLAN.

@netfreakthere will be no inference... even bluetooth operates in 2.4 Ghz frequency only... and it is really not advisable to go for audio and video wireless transmitters for the laggy quality you get. it is primarily used to receive CCTV camera feeds. you should better use wired connection between PC and TV and use wireless keyboard and mouse no probs. that would make sense.I suggest this even though I clearly understand what you want to accomplish (PC in a diff room - stream video to TV in a diff room - play games with wireless keyboard mouse). wireless streaming makes sense for video and is also costly. but for games its not advisable. example for video would be windows media center PC streaming to the xbox 360 to display on TV

Thanks for the suggestions. I am not going to buy it now, just had a thought. Anyway I need to do the new concealed wiring for my home theatre system. Will try to do it along.
