Windows users: Connect your computer to your TV, then head to the display settings from the Control Panel. Only the "extend" option gives you full HD on the big screen.
Apply the changes, then drag to adjust the resolution until it best suits your TV. The best highest resolution often requires you to sacrifice some TV screen space, as the dimensions don't match perfectly, so expect to see thin black bars across the top and bottom or along the sides of your TV screen. Finally, for laptop users, adjust your PC's settings so that the computer doesn't go to sleep when the lid is closed.
Mac users: Connect the video cable to your TV first, select that input source on the TV, then plug the cable into your Mac.
Your computer screen should flash blue, and the desktop will display on your TV. Older machines require the use of a mini-to-RCA cable. More details in previous section of this post. Finally, for laptop users, adjust your Mac's settings so the computer doesn't go to sleep when the lid is closed.
Some Macs let you do this in the power settings, but other models don't include this option. If the option is available, enable it. Those who don't see this option will have to choose between keeping the lid open presumably to allow for air circulation , or installing a program like NoSleep , which overrides your Mac's settings and prevents the computer from going to sleep when the lid is closed.
The key to an enjoyable, ergonomic PC-to-TV experience is employing the right accessories. Once your PC is hooked up and you're seeing video, how will you control your computer from your couch?
Smaller than a remote, the keyboard includes a touch pad for an all-in-one typing and mousing experience. The keyboard even includes arrows, which as you'll find out later is ideal for navigating around your computer from the couch.
The good: Ideal for short-form typing, searching for content, basic navigation. Does the job without taking too much space on your coffee table. Backlit keys helpful in dark settings. Compatible with OS X and Windows. The bad: Larger hands might find typing uncomfortable.
Not ideal for long-form writing, and the small touch pad takes some getting used to. Best full-size keyboard: Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K If you'd like the option to comfortably perform long-form typing or play PC games, this keyboard might be your best option.
The keys are slightly smaller than a standard-size keyboard, but your coffee table will be thanking you for the space saved. The good: Almost full-size keyboard gives you complete control over your PC.
Dedicated buttons make navigation snappy. The bad: No backlit keys makes navigating in the dark difficult. Smaller keys make it undesirable for transfer to regular computer setup. Keyboard in a pinch: Wi-Fi keyboard app If a new keyboard isn't in your budget, the best keyboard is the one you already own: your phone. Apps that turn your phone into a keyboard and mouse for your PC are available on all platforms, including Windows Phone. All Microsoft's PowerToys for Windows.
