cable If we consider one of the best ways to
connect a laptop to a TV, it is with the use of
an HDMI cable. You only need an HDMI cable, which
is available in the market at a very affordable
price, to get the job done. The HDMI cable can
handle both high-resolution video as well as
audio. Hence, you can ideally stream your
favorite show or movie through it. You have to,
however, make sure first that there is an HDMI
port in both TV and laptop of yours. Most of the
new TVs and laptops feature an HDMI port. So, if
