How to connect a projector to a laptop?
I bought a very cheap projector / projector. I have no idea how to connect it to my laptop.
On the projector there are connections such as 5V 2A, TF, AV, headphones and USB.
What do I have to do now to connect the two?
I would be very happy to receive an answer!
You connect the projector where you would connect an external monitor to the laptop.
Your laptop has hdmi, your projector probably doesn't. I only know that AV is an analog signal, which you can't get into your laptop without an extra device. I just can't do anything with TF.
No VGA or HDMI? As a connection.
5V-2A is the power supply
TF = Trans Flash (Card)
AV = audio-video connection
It is best to send a picture of the connections or the name of the projector.
These are the connectors and the cable that I got
Thank you for your answer! I have inserted the pictures. I also received an AV cable, but I don't know how to use it
The thing is not really designed to display a laptop picture. It seems to me to be more of a portable device to display his latest vacation photos or videos, either directly from the device (therefore power and AV connection) or from storage media. All of which also seems to be getting on in years. I'm not the expert, but I think that AV connections have become rather uncommon with cameras today. If TF actually stands for Trans Flash, Wikipedia says that this term has not been used for 15 years.
Of course you can now tinker to transfer your laptop picture with the projector. You would need an additional device that converts a digital video signal from your laptop (e.g. HDMI) to an analog composite signal. So costs 15 to 20 euro. You can then connect this to the cable, whereby you may also have to purchase corresponding chinch cables, since you have sockets here and no plugs.
But the question is whether this is really worth it. After all, a high-quality, high-resolution, digital video signal is mashed together in this way into an analog signal. If you want to play back films or pictures with it now, it may be acceptable if you can live with the low resolution. The other extreme would be presentations, for example, where the image has been motionless for a long time and there are large, uniform areas with high-contrast writing. You certainly don't want to do this to yourself with the part. Faulty and poor color rendering, blurred and bleeding edges, etc.
The cable does not help here, since it outputs the video signal in RGB. However, a composite video signal is required here.
Then this should be the right one:

In addition, the connection cable with plug at the back and front.
