HDMI, DVI, VGA, DisplayPort - All about connection interfaces. How to connect a computer to a TV? Wired and wireless methods Connecting a computer to a TV via VGA

If you have the right cable and - sometimes - an adapter, connecting your computer or laptop to your TV is not difficult. And for those who are friends with smart equipment and, accordingly, have it, everything is even simpler.

Step one

First you need to decide on the ports used to transmit signals that are available on the computer. To do this, inspect all the connectors on the device. If you can’t figure out what type they belong to based on their appearance, you should find their description in the documentation that came with your computer.

The following connectors are used on modern devices:

HDMI. Almost all modern computers are equipped with this digital interface. It is used for both audio and video transmission. This is the optimal solution to output a multimedia signal to a television receiver.
DVI. The digital port is also widely used on the market. But with its help it is possible to broadcast only a video signal.
VGA is a popular analog connector. But it is also intended only for video transmission.
Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), USB-C, Thunderbolt 2 and Mini DisplayPort- digital interfaces present on Apple computers. Both parameters are passed through them.

There are, of course, other connectors, but we have focused only on the description of the most popular ones. Therefore, we can say with almost one hundred percent certainty that at least one of them is present on your computer.

Step two

It is necessary to perform the same operation and for the same purpose on the TV. The bulk of modern models are equipped with both VGA and HDMI connectors. If you are using an earlier model, it has ports in RCA format. Among users, the plugs through which they are connected are called “tulips”.

Step three

Select a cable equipped with appropriate connectors.

If you connect a TV with HDMI

When both the television receiver and the computer have HDMI connectors, then by definition there can be no problems. You just need to take an HDMI cable and connect.

To connect to a TV with HDMI from a PC that is not equipped with such a port, in addition to an HDMI cable, you will have to use a special signal converter. It can be either DVI → HDMI or VGA → HDMI, depending on what is available on the computer. In addition to the HDMI cable, such converters provide the connection of an additional audio cable that connects to the computer. Thanks to this, it becomes possible to transmit sound despite the limitations of VGA, as well as DVI. Very often such a cable is included in the sales package of the converter.

If you need to connect a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 2 connector to a TV receiver with HDMI, then in addition to an HDMI cable you will have to purchase an HDMI → Mini DisplayPort adapter. When audio transmission is also required, you should ask the seller for an adapter that supports audio.

However, on some less modern models it is impossible to output audio signals to a television receiver with HDMI using Mini DisplayPort. There is only one way out - listen to the sound from the laptop speakers.

The process of connecting one of the latest Apple models with a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connector to an HDMI TV involves purchasing a USB-C multiport digital AV adapter as an addition to the HDMI cable. But maybe your model is not so new and the USB-C port on it does not support Thunderbolt 3, then a regular USB-C → HDMI adapter will do.

Connecting a TV with VGA

And in this case, the order is almost the same as in the previous section. The difference is in the converter - DVI → VGA or HDMI → VGA. The main requirement for them is the ability to convert the signal to VGA.

If your TV has an RCA connector

When the question arises about connecting a television receiver with “tulips” that is very “ancient” by modern standards, you will have to use converters such as VGA → RCA, HDMI → RCA and something similar that can output an RCA signal.

To correctly select the necessary accessories, you just need to tell the seller about the ports available on the PC and TV. Based on this data, he will select the desired kit.

Step four

We connect the devices using a cable for this purpose. To ensure complete safety, you must turn off both the PC and the television receiver. Only when these requirements are met are the necessary connections made. Once completed, you can turn on the devices. If the television receiver does not “see” the computer as a signal source, then the necessary settings should be made on the television.

Step five

Using your computer's capabilities to adjust the picture quality on your TV. It is necessary if the image is not clear. This is done in the system settings, the section responsible for the monitor. Here you set the desired resolution to match your TV and change the display mode.

How to connect a TV to a laptop or computer via Wi-Fi

Many people wonder: why spend money on buying wires and all sorts of converters if the TV and laptop support wireless connections. To find out how to connect a TV to a laptop via Wi-Fi, read.

Modern computers have many options for displaying images on a TV, one of which is connecting via VGA. The peculiarity of this method is that the VGA interface was a de facto standard in the past and even old PCs of venerable age are equipped with it. Therefore, if you are the owner of such equipment, then connecting your computer to your TV via VGA may be the only way to output images from one device to another.

Unlike most modern interfaces, VGA is analog and does not support audio output. However, almost all modern TVs have VGA connectivity. Carefully inspect the connectors of your device and you will probably find one like the one in the picture below. This is a 15-pin D-Sub (VGA).

It is into this that we will connect the cable, connected at its other end to a similar connector on your computer.

Make the connection in the switched off state and with the power cords unplugged from the socket!

When connecting, please note that it is not enough to insert the connector tightly and all the way; you will also need to tighten the “ears” - two screws on the sides. This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally pulling out the cable and guarantees a reliable connection. So, if you managed to connect your PC to your TV via a VGA cable, let's start setting up.

Configuring connection settings

Right-click on a free space on the desktop and select “Screen Resolution”. If you did everything correctly, the display settings should show two devices, and your monitor should be defined as the primary one.

Next, in the “Screen” line, select the second monitor. In our case it is ACER V243HQ. Check whether the resolution of your television device is determined correctly. Please note that it should not be greater than the physical resolution of the matrix specified in the operating instructions.

If the image on the TV is without distortion or change in proportions, then congratulations - you managed to connect everything correctly. If there are black bars on the sides of the screen, then you have set the resolution or aspect ratio incorrectly. Carefully read the characteristics of your TV and, in accordance with them, select the correct value in the “Screen Resolution” menu.

So, we have dealt with image output and are moving on to setting up audio transmission to the TV.

Sound output

As we already mentioned, the VGA interface only supports image transmission. In order to output sound, the easiest way is to use a mini-jack cable, connecting it to the computer output, marked in green, and a similar TV input. The cable has the same connector that is widely used for connecting almost all types of audio devices: mp3 players, stereo systems, headphones, etc. When outputting multi-channel audio, a connecting cable with color-coded connectors is used, so the connection should not cause you any difficulties.

Possible connection problems

Sometimes it happens that, despite a correctly made connection, the computer does not see the TV via VGA. In this case, there are several ways to solve the problem.

New video cards such as GTX 1060, 1070, Asus RX 470, Asus RX 470 and some other samples from other manufacturers do not come with an analog VGA output. The question immediately arises whether it is possible to connect a monitor that only has a VGA interface to a computer with a DVI-D video card.

Since DVI-D is a completely digital interface, you won’t be able to make your own adapter or bend extra pins in the plug. A standard DVI to VGA adapter will not help you either, again due to the fact that the DVI-D interface is designed only for a digital signal, so such an adapter will not work.

Video cards without analog VGA output

Connecting a VGA monitor/other device to the video card

To solve this problem all you need is:

See if your video card has an HDMI output;
Select an active DVI-D VGA adapter.

Following this simple algorithm will save you from tedious trips to the store to buy additional components, the need for which you found out along the way.

Once it becomes clear what inputs you have on your video card, it’s time to choose the so-called active DVI-D VGA adapter.

This device converts the digital signal from the video card into good old analogue, with which the monitor can already work. As a result of this transformation, the image quality will not suffer or, to be absolutely precise, it will be impossible to see a significant difference.

As a rule, such an adapter looks like a box, in which, on one side, there is an input for an HDMI cable, where we connect the DVI-D cable from the computer’s video card, and on the other side, a VGA output for the monitor cable, respectively.

Depending on the manufacturer Device dimensions may vary There are also models that come with a built-in small HDMI cable. HDMI is a new interface for digital data transmission in high quality, which one way or another, in the future, all manufacturers of video cards, monitors and other image output devices will switch to. The presence or absence of this interface on your video card will determine the need to purchase an adapter from HDMI to DVI-D. P similar adapters are found quite often in electronics stores and finding them will not be difficult.

Maybe it's easier to buy a new monitor?

Are all these design decisions justified, due to which you will have a whole system of cables and adapters between the monitor and the system unit? Of course, the design may not be the most elegant, but the very possibility of connecting a VGA monitor to a computer with a video card that even has a single DVI-D output exists. Although, with such a connection arrangement, the bottleneck will be the adapter from DVI to HDMI (provided that the video card does not have a DVI output). One way or another, it will in any case be cheaper than purchasing a new monitor or video card.

Here you may encounter two main problems:

Price for the device you choose;
Lack of the device you need in the nearest stores.

If you can overcome the first problem by searching on the Internet for models without cable (as a rule, they will be cheaper), then with stores, not everything is so rosy. Since the DVI–I interface is more common and can work with both digital and analog signals, it becomes difficult to find components for its exclusively “digital” counterpart. Most likely, they will tell you that such devices do not exist in nature and will offer to buy a new monitor with DVI-D. Therefore, the best option would be to order such an adapter via the Internet or buy it again through online stores, this will help you significantly save time.

Be sure to read the device characteristics and reviews. In order for everything to work as it should, since some devices have their own connection features, which are not always indicated in the specifications on the pages of online stores. You should be especially careful when the description of the adapter does not indicate that it is active. To purchase the active adapter you need, you should find the website of the manufacturer of the device you found and carefully read the description for it.

There are no significant qualitative characteristics between existing samples of these adapters. Rather, each specific option will be good for use in a given situation. For example, if you are going to make a quick-release connection, then it makes sense to use an adapter with a built-in cable. If you are going to set up the connection between a monitor or projector once and not touch it again, then it would be wise to use an adapter only with cable outlets, this will allow you to choose a cable of suitable length.

Projector owners often face the problem of connecting digital equipment that only has an HDMI connector. Most monitors do not have HDMI, and not all TVs purchased ten years ago are equipped with such a connector. As a rule, monitors and projectors primarily have connectors from VGA or YPbPr, that is, analog component video.

And all the latest video equipment has an HDMI multimedia interface.

Agree, it is not wise to change your projector or monitor to a more modern and expensive one just because of the presence of a connector! But don’t forget that these are not just different connectors - these are different signals. This means that to transmit the signal you need a converter that converts the digital signal to analog. Moreover, via an HDMI cable, unlike VGA or YPbPr, sound is transmitted simultaneously with video. Therefore, the converter has separate audio connectors for transmitting an audio signal. Audio outputs can be RCA (red and white tulip), optical (SPDIF) or 3.5mm audio (headphones).

Below we will take a closer look at the HDMI to VGA/YPbPr converters we have. Let's talk about the pros and cons of each equipment. So that you can easily choose the equipment you need! Let's start with the simplest equipment in terms of price and functions:

HDMI to VGA+Audio adapter (male HDMI cable to female VGA connector) /VConn/

Portable convert HDMI to VGA, sound is output to 3.5mm audio, which comes with the adapter. Power comes from the signal source via an HDMI cable. Therefore, only a strong source is connected to it; weak equipment may not receive a signal (tablet, camera, something that is not powered from the network). This adapter is ideal for connecting a laptop to a TV or monitor. Attention! Based on the testing results, it was revealed that this equipment is not suitable for connection to the projector. The image is cut off or does not play at all.

HDMI to VGA adapter (male HDMI cable to female VGA connector) /VConn/

The same equipment as the previous one, but without sound. Ideal for the price and needs of those who only need an image.

Connection - if the monitor to which the adapter is connected has a male VGA connector, then it is simply screwed into the monitor. The HDMI connector is inserted into the signal source. One minus is the length of the HDMI cable is 20 cm, which is sometimes not very convenient. To extend the wire, you will have to use an HDMI-HDMI female-to-female connector and connect an HDMI cable of the required length.

Converter HDMI to VGA+Audio (3.5 mm) /VConn/

Has small sizes. The audio signal is output using a 3.5mm cable. Power supply of equipment via USB cable. A USB cable for connecting power comes with the equipment. USB connects either to the signal source or to the charger. If the signal source is powerful enough, the converter can only be powered via an HDMI cable. The HDMI input in the converter is “female”, that is, an HDMI cable of the required length is inserted into it, which is connected to the signal source. The VGA connector is “female”; a VGA cable of the required length is inserted into it and a monitor is connected. Supports video resolutions up to VGA, HDMI version 1.3.

CONVERTER HDMI to VGA+Audio 3.5mm CV123HVA /Dr.HD/,

The difference from the previous converter is charging from the network. Sound is transmitted through a 3.5mm audio jack. You can connect headphones to your gaming equipment. Or transmit the audio signal to the speakers. The main thing in this equipment is support for HDCP signal. This makes it possible to connect to a game or digital console or Blu-ray player. Supports HDMI signal version 1.3, HDCP, VGA up to

HDMI to VGA+YPbPr CV133HVY /Dr.HD/ CONVERTER

more versatile than previous models, although in size and appearance it does not differ from cheap models. Its appearance is deceiving. First of all, this is a converter that converts the signal to VGA. It has a male VGA connector, which allows you to insert it directly into the monitor and secure it with special bolts. It is very convenient, it is small in size. And from it an HDMI cable of the length you need will go to the signal source.

If your monitor is hanging on the wall, and the distance between the wall and the monitor does not allow you to insert the equipment directly into the monitor, then a VGA cable extension is included with the equipment. A small VGA cable (15 cm) is female on one side and male on the other. .

If the VGA connector on your monitor is busy, then you can convert the VGA connector on the converter to a YPbPr connector. Using a VGA - YPbPr cable, which is included with the equipment. The wire has a female VGA connector on one side, which is connected to the converter, and on the other side it has a tulip - red, blue, green.

Sound – also has several connection options. Initially, the converter has an audio output in the form of 3.5mm. But the kit includes an adapter that converts it into an optical connector. It immediately becomes possible to convert analog sound to digital and connect a High End home theater with an optical cable of the required length.

This equipment supports VGA video resolution up to 1920x1080, YPbPr 1080p50/60Hz. Supports HDCP signal protection, which allows you to connect expensive equipment (Apple TV, game consoles, Blu-ray). The equipment is powered via USB, cable included. That is, you can power it from a signal source or receiver, or by connecting it to a charger. Or, provided there is enough power, then from the connected source via an HDMI cable.

HDMI to VGA+YPbPr+S/PDIF+RCA CONVERTER /VConn/

new in our store. It is a full-fledged converter, powered from the network. Output connectors - VGA, YPbPr, RCA, S/PDIF. You can connect two signal sources (via VGA or YPbPr), and switch to the required connector using the button on the front panel of the converter. Audio is transmitted via optics or RCA (tulip red-white). Supports VGA video resolution up to 1920x1080, YPbPr 1080p50/60Hz. This equipment can act as a splitter for analog receivers, which makes it simply unique!

CONVERTER 2xHDMI to VGA+YPbPr+S/PDIF+Audio 3.5mm CV233HVY /Dr.HD/ The operating principle is the same as the previous equipment, but has two HDMI inputs, i.e. acts as a switch. You can connect two signal sources at once. Audio is transmitted via optical cable or standard 3.5mm audio. Switching between sources is manual - using the switch button on the front panel of the equipment. It also switches between VGA or YPbPr connectors and audio outputs.

As you can see from the article, the choice of equipment is large. We hope that after reading this article, it will be easier for you to make the right choice.

How to connect a TV to a laptop via VGA? Connect TV to laptop via VGA-HDMI

Agree, sometimes when using programs on laptops that require a large working space that a standard screen cannot provide, it is much more convenient to use a modern television panel as a monitor. In this regard, there is an urgent need to solve the problem when you need to connect a TV to a laptop via a VGA output. Why VGA? Because almost all models of laptops and TVs are equipped with such connectors. But when creating such a connection, in some cases you may encounter some difficulties. Next we will show how to bypass or eliminate them, as well as make the correct connection and initial setup of both devices.

How to connect a TV to a laptop via VGA: what will you need?

The first step is to make sure that there are appropriate connectors on both devices. Of course, when connecting devices to each other, it is advisable to use outputs and inputs of the same name. There are no problems here.

But you can often encounter a situation where the laptop only has a VGA output (aka D-Sub), and the TV only has an HDMI connector. Here the essence of the question of how to connect a TV to a laptop via VGA-HDMI is to use a special adapter.

VGA connection problems

But the problems don't stop there. This is due to the fact that only the picture is transmitted through VGA, but not sound.

But many would like to use the powerful acoustic systems of modern TV panels with multi-channel sound. How to connect a TV to a laptop via VGA so that there is also sound?

In such a situation, you will have to purchase a special VGA to HDMI adapter model, which additionally has connectors for audio transmission (either a regular 3.5 mm mini-jack or standard “tulips”).

How to connect a TV to a laptop via VGA with sound?

As a rule, connecting when choosing the above scheme does not present any particular difficulties.

The VGA and HDMI connectors are connected to the corresponding ports, after which the audio cable is connected. It is impossible to confuse the connectors. There is a special socket for the mini-jack, and the “tulips” are connected in accordance with the color marks.

Initial screen setup

The TV is connected to the laptop via VGA-HDMI. Now you should check your screen mirroring settings.

You may initially need to specify the connection type on the TV panel by selecting HDMI as the source by pressing the Source (Input) button on the remote control several times or by calling up the appropriate menu. On some models of television panels, you may need to enable or disable the TV/AV or TV/Video modes (it all depends solely on the modification of the TV and its manufacturer).

After this, to connect the TV to the laptop via VGA, you need to send the image to the television panel. As a rule, one of the function buttons F1-F12 should have a special icon with two screens. The button is used in combination with the Fn key, although there is no uniform standard among manufacturers. Typically, a single press causes the image to appear on the TV, and a second press returns the image to the laptop screen.

However, there is a universal solution on all Windows systems. It is enough to use the combination Win + P, after which a setup menu will appear, including expanding the screen to multiple monitors or duplicating it. In Windows 10, this function is available by clicking on the notification icon in the system tray at the bottom right. In addition, if the automatic setting of screen parameters does not work, you will need to set the resolution on the TV directly in Windows manually, based on its characteristics and capabilities.

Alternative Image Adjustment Method

But, let’s say, using this method, the TV did not connect to the laptop via VGA, or the combination did not work for some reason.

As a backup option, you can use RMB on a free area of the “Desktop” and select the screen resolution setting. In the basic settings, you can perform the same operations (extend the screen onto two monitors or duplicate it, depending on the user’s needs). For example, when expanding, you can display only the media player on the TV panel, but when duplicating, you can display the entire space of the “Desktop” or a running program.

Sound settings

As it turns out, connecting a TV to a laptop via a VGA connector is only half the battle. Now you will have to start setting up the sound, since for some reason Windows systems do not automatically switch to television panels.

You can set the sound parameters through the RMB menu on the volume icon in the system tray, where the line of playback devices is selected. In principle, settings can be accessed from the standard “Control Panel”.

Here, on the playback tab, you should pay attention to the device that has HDMI in its name. Right-clicking opens a submenu, and in it selects the default device usage line. If the TV panel's audio system is not in the list, you should activate the display of disabled devices in the menu that is called up, and then repeat the steps described above.

As for switching the sound format, it all depends on the capabilities of the speaker system of the TV itself. On some models, right on the remote control you can find a special button that changes the sound, activating various audio circuits, setting the priority sound of different speakers, adjusting the equalizer, if provided, etc.

Conclusion

As you can see, the problem of how to connect a TV to a laptop via a VGA output can be solved quite simply. In theory, there should be no questions with the choice of connectors. The most important thing is to further configure the transmission of image and sound to the television panel. However, no particular difficulties are foreseen here, since in Windows systems this entire procedure is standardized.

Actually, the connection procedure comes down to correctly selecting the required adapter, connecting it to both devices, and adjusting image and sound parameters. At the same time, Windows can sometimes additionally install the corresponding driver when selecting an audio device. But such a procedure is performed in the background, and user participation in this process is not required at all. Otherwise, as practice shows, everything is simple even with the use of somewhat outdated models of laptops and television panels. And in the case of Smart TV, setup is usually simplified even more. In most cases, such panels are initially focused on the ability to connect external computer or mobile devices with automatic device recognition mode and its appropriate settings at the time of connection.

Connecting a second monitor to a laptop/computer (via HDMI cable)

Hello.

I think many people know and have heard that you can connect a second monitor (TV) to a laptop (computer). And in some cases, it is impossible to work fully without a second monitor: for example, accountants, financiers, programmers, etc. And in general, it is convenient to turn on, for example, the broadcast of a match (film) on one monitor, and slowly do the work on the second :).

In this short article, I will look at the seemingly simple question of connecting a second monitor to a PC or laptop. I will try to touch on the main issues and problems that arise in this case.

1. Connection interfaces

Remark! You can find out about all the most common interfaces in this article: http://pcpro100.info/popular-interface/

Despite the abundance of interfaces, the most popular and in demand today are: HDMI, VGA, DVI. Modern laptops usually have an HDMI port, and sometimes a VGA port (example in Fig. 1).

Rice. 1. Side view - Samsung R440 laptop

The most popular interface, present on all modern equipment (monitors, laptops, TVs, etc.). If you have an HDMI port on your monitor and laptop, then the entire connection process should go without a hitch.

By the way, there are three types of HDMI form factors: Standard, Mini and Micro. On laptops there is usually a standard connector, as in Fig. 2. However, pay attention to this as well (Fig. 3).

Rice. 2. HDMI port

Rice. 3. From left to right: Standard, Mini and Micro (a type of HDMI form factor).

Many users call this connector differently, some VGA and some D-Sub (and manufacturers are not guilty of this either).

Many people say that the VGA interface is reaching its end (perhaps this is true), but despite this, there is still quite a lot of technology that supports VGA. This means he will live another 5-10 years :).

By the way, this interface is available on most monitors (even the newest ones), and on many laptop models. Manufacturers, behind the scenes, still support this popular standard.

Rice. 4. VGA interface

On sale today you can find many adapters connected to the VGA port: VGA-DVI, VGA-HDMI, etc.

Rice. 5. DVI port

Quite a popular interface. I should immediately note that it is not found on modern laptops, but on PCs it is (most monitors also have it).

DVI has several varieties:

DVI-A - used to transmit only an analog signal;
DVI-I - for transmitting analog and digital signals. The most popular type on monitors;
DVI-D - for digital signal transmission.

Important! The sizes of the connectors and their configuration are compatible with each other, the only difference is in the contacts involved. By the way, please note that next to the port, it usually always indicates what type of DVI your equipment has.

2. How to choose a cable and adapters for connection

Rice. 6. HDMI port

The connected monitor had only VGA and DVI interfaces. What’s interesting is that the monitor doesn’t seem to be “pre-revolutionary”, and there was no HDMI interface on it...

Rice. 7. Monitor: VGA and DVI

In this case, 2 cables were needed (Fig. 7, 8): one HDMI, 2 m long, the other - an adapter from DVI to HDMI (in fact, there are quite a lot of such adapters. By the way, there are universal ones that provide all kinds of interfaces for connecting one to another).

Rice. 8. HDMI cable

Thus, having a pair of such cables, you can connect your laptop to almost any monitor: old, new, etc.

2. Connecting a monitor via HDMI to a laptop (computer)

In principle, when connecting a monitor to a laptop or desktop computer, you won’t see much of a difference. Everywhere the same principle of action, the same actions.

1) Turn off the laptop and monitor.

By the way, many neglect this action, but in vain. Despite this seemingly banal advice, it can save your equipment from damage. For example, I have encountered several cases where a laptop’s video card failed due to the fact that they tried to connect them “hot” with an HDMI cable without turning off the laptop and TV. Apparently, in some cases, residual electricity “struck” and disabled the iron. Although, a regular monitor and a TV are still slightly different equipment :). But still...

2) Connect the cable to the HDMI ports of your laptop or monitor.

3) Turn on the monitor, laptop.

When everything is connected, turn on the laptop and monitor and wait for Windows to load. Usually, by default, the same picture appears on the connected additional monitor as is displayed on your main screen (see Fig. 10). At least, this is what happens even on new Intel HD cards (on Nvidia and AMD the picture is similar; you almost never have to go into driver settings). The picture on the second monitor can be corrected, more on this in the article below...

3. Setting up a second monitor. Types of projection

A connected second monitor can be “made” to work in different ways. For example, it can display the same thing as the main one, or maybe something else.

To configure this moment, right-click anywhere on the desktop and select “Display Settings” in the context menu (if you have Windows 7, then “Screen Resolution”). Next, in the parameters, select the projection method (more on this later in the article).

Rice. 11. Windows 10 - Screen settings (In Windows 7 - screen resolution).

An even simpler option would be to use special keys on the keyboard (if you have a laptop, of course) - . Typically, a screen will be drawn on one of the function keys. For example, on my keyboard it is the F8 key; it must be pressed simultaneously with the FN key (see Fig. 12).

Rice. 12. Calling the second screen settings.

Only the computer screen. In this case, only one main laptop (PC) screen will work, and the second one, which is connected, will be turned off;
Repeating (see Fig. 10). The image on both monitors will be the same. It is convenient, for example, when the same thing is displayed on a large monitor as on a small laptop monitor when presenting some kind of presentation (for example);
Expand (see Fig. 14). Quite a popular projection option. In this case, your workspace will increase, and you will be able to move your mouse from the desktop of one screen to another. It’s very convenient, you can watch a movie on one and work on the other (as in Fig. 14).
Only the second screen. In this case, the main laptop screen will be turned off, and you will work on the connected one (in some form analogous to the first option).

Rice. 13. Projection (second screen). Windows 10

The connection process is now complete. I would be grateful for additions on the topic. Good luck to all!
