Okay, didn't know that your laptop didn't already have a drive built in that can play DVDs. Anyway, here is what I would try and/or recommend: 1. Hook up the external DVD drive to your laptop via an USB port. 2. Run an HDMI cable from your laptop to your HDTV. 3. Re-direct your laptop display to your HDTV (essentially use your TV as an external monitor). *** Each TV is going to have different settings. On my Samsung I just have to select which HDMI port that I have the HDMI cable plugged into. If the laptop display doesn't automatically redirect I press FN (function key) and then F8 on my dell laptop. Other laptops are FN (function key) and then F7 I believe.

Yes. You can use it similar to a wireless projector. Once you connect it to your TV, everything you do on your computer/laptop will be shown on the TV

Yes It will connect to your computer to the TV. I have tried that as well tried to connect computer to projector as well. I did not had any issue.

It has speciial media software that allows you to Connect to and watch TV. I've had one since 2006 with XP and W7 and they are more reliable than Dells or HP computers. Go to the Toshiba website and read about them.

Yes, all you need is a HDMI or VGA cable if your TV has a VGA port and your computer should recognize the screen, I would use HDMI cable though.

If your laptop has an HDMI out port, then yes. You can connect this TV just like any HD component and both audio and video will work. This TV can also see a media server (Windows media player can do this) that is on the same network as the laptop if you are looking to stream movies or music. If not you will need to buy a VGA to HDMI adapter, preferably one that has audio jacks included that connect to your headphones port. That is a fairly cumbersome method but can be done.

not sure iif it has a vga connector but if your computer has DV I it could hok up thru a DVI-HDMI cable

Yes, but only if the tv is of a certain type. You can not connect the computer to a tv that is too old. The older sets are not set up to handle the signal translation.

Sorry for the delay. We are using this adapter to connect a VGA monitor to an HDMI port on a computer running MS-Windows. It should connect any VGA monitor to an HDMI port on your Dell laptop. The device is working well for us.

The Dell Studio 1555 has a HDMI output.It has one of those Express card slots, so I would imagine that if you want to watch TV you can get a card which allows it. As for finding a laptop like the specifications you asked, I would recommend doing a filter search on Amazon or a similar laptop specific website. Good luck!

did you try this for connecting the external monitor to your laptop. I have a dell laptop and want to buy it for the same use.

Provided you have a HMDI,DVI,or lighting port on your computer, yes. You may need an adapter cable, but virtually any computer in the last couple decades will be able output a signal the TV will use.

In short: Yes, this is what I use it for. This is of course only true provided that everything is configured and connected properly. You first need to make sure that: 1. your computer has the S-Video port and 2. your TV has the yellow RCA port (often there are three round connectors yellow (video), red and white (sound) side by side) In many cases the computer will automatically detect the TV if it is connected before starting the computer. If it does, it should clone the screen on the TV without the need for you to do anything. Of course, make sure you are on the right channel of the TV. To get everything working nicely: -on the computer side: you might need to adjust the screen resolution depending on the exact setup (if the picture is "too big" for the TV). -on the TV side: you might want to tune the brightness and contrast. One last detail, this cable is designed for video. The picture should be fine when watching a movie, however if you display text on the screen, you might find it a little less than super crisp.

I have mines hooked up to my lap top and I can hook the laptop to the TV monitor and see it like that. You can't hook it up directly to your TV be a use it has to be connected to wifi
