The Chronic Consumer

I’m interested in being able to connect my laptop to my TV so I can watch streaming videos on a bigger screen, but I have no idea how to do this. Of course Google was my first stop in the research process, and while I’m usually pretty good at deciphering How-To tutorials, the ones I found were incomprehensible to me. After spending several hours reading through different sites, I’m still completely lost.

I know that I need a couple of cables to connect the laptop to the TV. I think one of the cables needs to be an HDMI cable and one needs to be an audio cable, but again I’m not completely sure. It depends on the kind of laptop and the kind of TV, as well as various other factors that I don’t feel like listing right now.

Who knew that this particular task could be so hard?
