Then you use an under 10 buck HDMI cable and done. I have such a setup and have used it for about 5 years.
What would be my easiest and simplest way to show pictures and video to my TV? I have a Google Chromecast but you have to move all the pictures you want to show into Google Photo to show them. I don't suppose that is so bad but I've never been able to find out for sure if anyone can access them without my Google login and password. My TV has a USB and HDMI ports. Can I connect to them and get pictures directly from Windows to the TV. Or show videos directly to the TV with Win. Media Player?
