With which cable would something like this work? The TV very has HDMI.

Need an adapter

St

VGA or a Displayport to HDMI adapter - unless your monitor natively supports DP

Are you sure you have a vga or display port connection? Look at the photos, I don't think so

On the 2nd picture on the left is the D-Sub-15 port (trapezoid) for VGA. It was the standard monitor output for 20 years, but it is analog, but often found on many TVs.

On the first picture on the left is a DisplayPort, a rectangle, with a missing corner. The connection is also digital and compatible with HDMI. However, you need an adapter (passive, cheap), but you have no sound! You have to transfer it differently (3.5 stereo jack?)

Alternatively: WLAN-HDMI dongle… ChromeCast, FireTV Stick, AppleTV Box, MiraCast, SmartTV, …

I can see the VGA.

How old is the device?

If you look at the HDMI socket on your television, you will find that your laptop does not have such a socket.

You will probably need a https://www.google.de/...4&biw=1760 for the left socket in the lower picture (serial interface).

I'm sure, because I see both - DIsplayport on the first picture (between jack and USB), VGA on the lower one (left connection)

Oh right, you are absolutely right!

Do

On the first picture there's a DisplayPort connection to the left of the USB slots, you can simply buy an adapter to HDMi for this, costs 5 euro.

Otherwise VGA (the connection with the holes) would go to HDMi.

It seems that DP transmits sound after all… I didn't realize it until now… But I've never used it…

Ca

Yes, it also transmits the sound. After finally realizing that HDMI is total junk, the port was further developed and the display port was invented.

Ca

But he's right. Are both available on your laptop.

Ne

Whatever the reason… HDMI is currently standard on most devices…

Ca

Bad standard. DVI has a much better picture and is far more stable. You tried to pack too much into one port via HDMI. That backfired. Mini HDMI is even worse.

If you mean… I even have a device with MicroHDMI… A miniHDMI device, which was recently 'warmly' recommended to me, I was just able to 'fend off' and suggest an HDMI device… I was also at a meeting today where it was In principle, around 140,000 for a modernization to HDMI instead of VGA went… Which is probably not done…
