Transfer PC screen to TV - how to stream

If you want to stream the content from your PC to a larger screen, you have several options to transfer the PC screen to the TV. This can be done via a cable or wirelessly. In both cases, however, you must first connect your PC to your TV.

How to transfer your PC screen to TV

How to transfer your PC screen to TV depends on several factors. The most important factor here is which connections the devices provide.

1. If you have a Smart TV, a connection between the PC and the TV is possible via WLAN, i.e. without cables. Here, however, both devices must be in the same home network.
2. In older TVs you will usually find a composite input. So you can transfer the image from your PC directly via the video output of your graphics card.
3. Most televisions have a VGA input. To make a connection, you need to connect it to a VGA or DVI output on your PC. Do you need a cable to go from VGA to DVI, you usually need an additional adapter.
4. A connection via an HDMI cable is also possible. Hierfür benötigen Sie jedoch für einen extra Adapter, um notfalls das HDMI-Kabel mit dem Scart-Eingang an Ihrem Fernseher verbinden zu können.
5. Alternativ gibt es zahlreiche Zusatzgeräte wie Chromecast, Fire TV Stick oder ähnliche. Damit streamen Sie den Bildschirm von verschiedenen Geräten in Ihrem Netzwerk auf den Fernseher.
