Technology Tips

Chromebook or other laptop to HDMI cable to flatscreen TV

It’s always our goal to help our Lifetree hosts deliver the best experience possible week after week. For that reason, we’ve gone to great effort to enable them to present our video content on a variety devices. Through exhaustive testing, we’ve found the following methods offer the most reliable experience and the highest picture quality.

The presentation options are:1. Chromebook or other laptop to HDMI cable to Flatscreen TV2. iPad or other tablet to HDMI cable to flatscreen TV3. Laptop to VGA to flatscreen TV

The Chromebook to HDMI to flatscreen TV solution proved to be the most reliable and economical option, and it offered the highest picture quality of all the options we tested.

In this configuration the video episode is stored in and presented from the flash drive. That’s because the Chromebook’s internal hard drive is not large enough to store the entire video.

The flash drive is inserted in the USB port (Image 1). The video then transfers through the HDMI cable (Image 2) to the HDMI port on the flatscreen TV (Image 3).

Note: This is essentially the same setup you’d use if you were running a laptop to HDMI to flatscreen TV. You may not need to store the video on the flash drive.

iPad or other tablet to HDMI cable to flatscreen TVIf you have an iPad or another tablet, you may need to get an adaptor designed to fit whatever data port is available on the device and connect it to an HDMI cable that then goes to your flatscreen T.V.

In this configuration using an iPad, the video is saved on the device and presented using a Lightning to HDMI adapter (Image 4). This is a close-up of the HDMI adapter (Image 5).

Android tablets typically offer a variety of ports. Find the best adaptor that will work for the tablet you plan to use (Image 6).Image 4

Laptop to VGA cable to flatscreen TV or projector

When using a laptop to present, you can also use VGA cable running from the device to the VGA port on a flatscreen TV or projector (Image 7).

If your TV or projector does not have a VGA port, you can get a VGA to HDMI adaptor (Image 8).

Note: This option experienced the greatest loss of image quality.
