Forum Laptops & Notebooks : General Discussion [Solved] Hdmi-dvi cable converter

Hello,
I have a Samsung TV with an HDMI port or Mini VGA port to hook up to computer. I have a Dell Latitude Lap Top with only a USB, ESata, port and one that looks like a USB port with the upper left hand corner of the port shaved off in the shape of a triangle--I don't know what that port is for. But I do not have a VGA port on the laptop. Would like to know how I could hook-up my laptop to the PC availability of the Samsung LED TV...

What specific Dell model do you have. Most likely, you have either an HDMI or a DisplayPort connection on your Dell if it is a fairly recent model. If that is so, you need either a HDMI to HDMI cable or a DisplyPort to HDMI cable (or adapter).

You may also have a mini-DisplayPort connection. So , send us your model and we'll be able to guide you better.

Good luck!
