Laptop wireless connection to TV? If I purchased a new LCD tv with a USB input, is there a way to hookup my laptop wirelessly to that input, or would it have to be hard wired?

You may even think of getting the wireless devices available which hooks your tv and laptop.

Windows USB out to hdmi input of TV. Your question implies your tv hasn't enough hdmi inputs. Don't think this will work.

If your laptop has an HDMI port on it it will connect through the switch. I have connected my laptop to the TV and receiver using the monoprice 4x2 switch. I have owned this for about a year now and I havent had a single problem with it.

If your laptop transmits, you should be able to pair, although I have not done that. I have only paired with my phone and a Taotronics transmitter plugged into a TV. Hope this helps.

unless it has new native software updates within it, it is plugged into a usb connector and functions through the computer imaging software system. Newer "smart tvs" may have some ability to interface with graphics transfer. I believe you still need a computer at this time. Ours works with a laptop.

yes all you would need is a HDMI cable to plug into both the tv and the laptop start playing go to source and select HDMI that is all

Installed one a few years ago and no, it does not need to be hardwired to a PC or laptop. The wifi on any unit will capture the signal as long it is within a direct line-of-sight appropriate distance. I've one for sale, too, if you're interested, tough not kind to the Amazon.com service!

You can only plug it into a computer for now (via USB). But if your computer is connected to your TV, you can still see things on the big screen.

The HDMI output of your laptop must be connected to an HDMI input on your TV. The USB port on a TV is for reading files off of a flash drive like music or pictures or whatever. Some TVs only have the USB port there for diagnostic purposes and it can only be used by a repair technician. It cannot receive an audio or video input from another device such as a laptop through the USB connection.

I don't understand the question : display port on the laptop or monitor? In any case, this typically creates an HDMI port out of the other standard (display port?) . Can connect a TV too but watch out :sound does not go through.

Mine is hooked up to LG HDTV. Not where I can look right now, but look at the instructions. Do you need an HDMI cord? I am really not good with this stuff. Know I didn't need anything extra. Just connected directly into my tv, but think instructions did mention a HDMI connection. If your instructions don't work, you might just google how to connect a indoor antenna to your Toshiba and again to your samsung HDTV. Good luck. I am totally inept at this stuff, so have every belief you can do it too!

No, just get a USB to HDMI adapter or if your laptop has HDMI you can go that route as well, some have big or mini HDMI so just look up you model and see what connections you have. This should help you!

There are two USB ports and a mini HDMI port on the unit. I have never tried to hook up a wired connection so i don't know how that would go, but I've had no trouble with the wireless connection. I love me Craig Netbook...it was a really good deal.

Any suggestions for connecting my HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook to this TV? I know I can accomplish this through a VGA connection or S-Video connection, but I wanted to keep the connection digital quality. Thanks!

I wondered the same thing. It took me a month to figure out- and then believe it's really that simple- that YES, I can simply connect my high-end laptop to my mid-range flat screen TV, by HDMI to HDMI ports on each device, and stream anything I could get on my laptop, directly onto my flatscreen TV... But, why on earth WOULD I WANT TO? YES- You CAN do it, but why bother? If you do use your PC as a live stream (to TV) device, then every time you want to watch live-stream TV (vs. cable TV), you have to remove your laptop from it's current location (ie, maybe you were using it earlier,

I'm going to have to go with a safe answer and say no. I'm not 100% sure that I am correct on this, but I don't think it will work. You will probably have to use Samsung's own adapter that they have. It is called a LinkStick. Most usb wireless adapters are going to require a driver to make it work, and you don't have a way to do that with your tv. I would do a search for Linkstick in the Amazon search and look at the ones that come up. If you look at the reviews for them there have been a lot of people posting what models each one seems to work with.

Most laptops have a built-in antenna. They are usually pretty good, so I don't see the point in using a USB wireless receiver. You could always connect to your router with a lan cable, or if it has a wireless transmitter (WI-FI) you could connect wirelessly. I don't thing you could connect the flat panel antenna to your laptop.
