How to connect your phone or tablet to your LED TV with a wire

Connecting your device to your LED TV using a cable is the simplest method, but you need the right equipment. You'll need a cable with the correct connectors on both ends and ports that match your devices.

Make sure your LED TV has an HDMI port. This port lets you send both video and audio through one cable, which is important for better sound quality since HDMI uses digital audio instead of analog.

1. If you have these items, you're ready to get started:
2. A USB Type-C to HDMI adapter
3. An HDMI cable

Just plug the adapter into your phone and connect the HDMI cable to the adapter and your TV. Then, you can watch content from your phone on the TV!

How to connect your Xbox to your LED TV

The easiest way to set up your Xbox One is to connect it to your cable or satellite box using an HDMI cable, and then connect it to your LED TV with another HDMI cable. The Xbox One only uses HDMI for video output.

Here’s how to connect your Xbox to your LED TV with an HDMI cable:

1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into your Xbox and the other end into an HDMI port on your TV.
2. Turn on your Xbox. If you don't see anything on the screen after a few seconds, turn it off and back on again.
3. Turn on your TV and switch the input until you find the one for your Xbox (it will be labeled "HDMI" or "Xbox"). Make sure to switch back to this input when you’re done playing games that use wireless controllers, like first-person shooters.

If you still don’t see anything on the TV, try plugging the HDMI cable into a different port. If that doesn’t help, try using a different HDMI cable.

How to connect your PS4 to your LED TV

The PS4 can play content from USB drives, but it can't connect to your LED TV wirelessly. To connect it, you'll need either an HDMI cable or a mini-HDMI to HDMI converter (if your console has been upgraded).

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI OUT port on the back of your PS4.
2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to an HDMI input on your TV.
3. Plug the power cable into the AC IN port on your PS4.
4. Turn on both your PS4 and LED TV, and then select the correct HDMI input on your TV.

Now you're ready to start playing games!

How to connect your Switch to your LED TV

1. Open the back of your console dock.
2. Plug the HDMI and power cables into the dock.
3. Connect the HDMI cable to your LED TV and the power cable to an outlet.
4. Close the dock.
5. Place your device into the dock.
6. Wake up your console.
7. Select the correct HDMI input on your LED TV.
