Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone knows a way I can connect my TV Logik TV Logik L39FE12 to my PC? I have done it with a HDMI cable but would prefer to do it wirelessly? Does anyone know how? and what I would need? I have a NOW TV box, not sure if that helps?

Thanks all in advance.

ohh I have a OptiPlex 3020 Small Form Factor BTX Base

Somewhat confused, the title says connect internet to TV. You can't do that with a HDMI cable. Suspect you mean display the PC pictures on the TV. You may be able to use a miracast dongle on the TV and casting software on the PC.

If you are using a desktop PC then presumably you are not wandering all over the house with it? In which case if the cable is not trailing across the floor presenting a trip hazard then keep it.

A cable is a far more reliable method of connecting two devices together than wireless by and large. So if the PC and telly are in close proximity then there is little to no point going wireless IMO,

If it can not be done wirelessly then how can I do it with a wire? as I am not sure if this computer has a hdmi port.

I/O Ports:
2 external USB 3.0 ports (rear) and 6 external USB 2.0 ports (2 front, 4 rear); 1 Serial port (optional); 1 PS/2 (optional); 1 RJ-45; 1 VGA; 1 DisplayPort 1.2; 1 Mic-in & 1 Headphone out (front); 1 Mic-in/Line-in & 1 Line-out(rear)

Suspect you mean display the PC pictures on the TV. Yes thats true.

It has a DisplayPort socket on it which can be converted to HDMI with something like this

Exact same thing Dell sell but a few quid cheaper than their prices

Thanks, really helpful, but is there a way I can do it wirelessly do you know and if so how.

Now megaconfused

Your first post


Perhaps we need to start again, what input sockets does your TV have ? Converting a displayport socket to HDMI out simply needs an adaptor.

Why do you want to do it wirelessly? Where is the Dell relative to the TV? As I said if they are close to each other and the cable won't trail across the floor then a cable is by far the easiest way to connect the two.

My tv has a hdmi socket along with other sockets. Its a Logik L39FE12, I am looking for the manuel online to figure out what the other sockets are called.

my dell computer has

I/O Ports:
2 external USB 3.0 ports (rear) and 6 external USB 2.0 ports (2 front, 4 rear); 1 Serial port (optional); 1 PS/2 (optional); 1 RJ-45; 1 VGA; 1 DisplayPort 1.2; 1 Mic-in & 1 Headphone out (front); 1 Mic-in/Line-in & 1 Line-out(rear)

I have connected my Laptop to my TV before but never my Desktop Dell though which is what I was trying to figure out how to do? as my laptop has different sockets to the laptop. I really wanted to connect my TV with my Dell Computer wirelessly though. But if it can not be done then to connect via a cable. The Dell and the TV are about 10 feet away from eachother but would have preferred not to be using a cable but thats ok if thats the only option.

SO what your all saying is it can be done wirelessly (please tell me how) but can be done via a cable and in which case to do it via a cable I would buy a HDMI cable and a -Display-Adapter-Converter

http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-192.../dp/B009YC3W1Y

or

http://www.expansys.com/startech-dis...ID=1&ADTYPE=10

and connect the HDMI end to the TV and put the -Display-Adapter-Converter on the other end and connect that to the Dell Desktop?

Is there anyway it can be done wirelessly though?

Would this adaptor also work?

Is there a particular type of HDMI cable that I need that would work for my TV? As I read there are many types of HDMI cables such as mini HMDIs etc? I no longer have my old one so can not check and dont know what type of HDMI socket my TV has?
Would this one work?

This is the manual for my TV.

That PC World device is not DisplayPort. It's not suitable for connecting to your PC.

You could try Chromecast which will let you do some interaction between the computer and the TV. It depends what you want to display on the TV but it is not a substitute for a HDMI lead.

If you want the ability to display absolutely anything on the TV that you could see on a monitor plugged into the PC then a lead is your best option. But if you want to use the PC to send things like iPlayer or similar streaming media services to the TV then Chromecast might do the job.

Would this work

instead of

http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-192.../dp/B009YC3W1Y

as would save money.

OK, seems like via cable is the only way so basically just want to find the cheapest possible way for me to display what is on my Dell Monitor onto my TV screen. So what do you all recomend?

Would these work?

and

The lead is probably OK. Not sure about the adapter. Mind you at that price if it is a pile of sh1te you can chuck it in the bin and get something else.

Thanks but on the descriptions of those two items they are suppose to do what I need them to do right?. Its just you think maybe the adaptor maybe not good enough a quality yeah?

Well at two and a bit quid it ain't exactly going to be Rolls Royce spec is it The reviews of the adapter on Amazon suggest it will do the job.

Thanks, I hope so anyhow.

Get yourself a 5450HD video card for 20 quid and just use a standard HDMI cable.

I contacted the manufactuer about this and said I am thibnking of getting an adaptor and a cable and they said

No this cable wouldn't work for that as its purely a HDMI to HDMI
cable. You may need something else exactly as the resolutions on Pcs and
TVs can be different.

But I know its a HDMI to HDMI thats why I am going to get that adaptor? I explained that to them?

Just noticed that other cable is coming from Hong Kong and dont want to wait that long for it to arrive, so have found another one. WOuld this one also work as well?

It should do but without actually trying it no one can be sure.

I'm still confused as to what the OP wants to do!!

Would this work?

Im trying to display whats on my Computer Monitor to my TV screen, my TV has a HDMI port but my Computer has only a 1 DisplayPort 1.2 and a few other sockets as I have mentioned in post 5.

If your tv has vga, u could connect using a standard vga cord to the pc.....but it doesn't do sound, u would need additional audio connections input on the TV to allow for this.
