The latest computers and TVs offer a wide variety of video connection options. The video connection on
your computer must match an available video connection on your TV or monitor. Select a connection
type from the table below that works best for your environment.
note:
You can use adapters or special converter cables to make a connection between HDMI and DVI digital
ports. If your PC only has DVI and your TV does not have a DVI port, you can use an adapter to make a
connection that is much better than a standard video connection.
