    Hi ,

    my name is Dennis, I'm an independent advisor and I'll do my best to help today.

    the easiest way would be with HDMI cable

    1. Connect your PC to your TV with a male-to-male HDMI cable.
    2. Change the input of the TV. Using the buttons on the TV or using the TV remote, press the Input button to change the input of the TV to HDMI.
    3. Right-click on the desktop and select Display Settings. This will open the display settings menu.
    4. Click Detect. This tells the computer to look for the TV you connected. Look to see if there are two squares, labeled 1 and 2, in the display settings window.

    Your computer may have already detected your TV.

    1. Click Identify. This will show a label on each screen so you will know which number has been assigned to your computer monitor, and what number has been assigned to your TV ("1" being the main display and "2" being the secondary display).
    2. Click the "Multiple displays" drop-down box and select an option. This will give you a few options for how you want to show your computer on your TV. The options are:

    Duplicate these displays. This will mirror exactly what is on your computer screen on the TV.

    Extend these displays. This will make your TV an extended part of your desktop.

    Show only on 1. This will turn off display number 2.

    Show only on 2. This will turn off display number 1.

    1. Click Apply. This will change the display settings and apply them to your computer monitor and TV. Your TV should now be connected to your computer.

    You can further customize each display by clicking on its numbered square and then selecting Advanced display settings. You can also drag and rearrange the squares to change the orientation of the two displays.
