One of the first questions a customer asks when they wish to watch free movies online, is how the movie can be viewed on both their computer and their TV without the need for complicated software and leads & accessories. The answer is very quick and easy. When you watch free movies online, you simply need to make sure you have an output on your laptop or PC for video out. This may be in the form of a composite cable port, or even a HDMI slot. The HDMI capabilities of most laptops now are commonly very good, and more and more manufacturers are tempted to use this feature to sell their products. This article should point you in the right direction so you can watch free movies online, using your TV instead of a monitor.Once you have made sure you have a video out on your computer, you need to make sure you buy the correct lead, or check the leads you were supplied with the computer itself. Usually, because the motherboard supports 5.1 surround or HDMI for example, a bundle of cables will also be supplied, so you do not have to mess about going to the supermarket and buying them. Having the ability to watch free movies online and hook up to your TV in HD is a great bonus. The next step is to check your TV manual for the auxiliary input instructions, as this will detail how best to connect your computer to your television set. Ensure the wires are attached, and then check you are on the correct channel (which is usually called PC or auxiliary).Besides composite can HDMI slots, you will also find that your TV may have a D-Sub connector, which will enable you to plug the computer into the TV using a monitor cable. Whilst this doesn't offer the same clarity as other cables when you watch free movies online or stream video across the cables, it does offer an easy option when you want to connect. Another thing to consider here, is that a HDMI connection allows you to have video AND sound sent across the cable, but a D-Sub connection or composite connection will not. You will need to use your computer speakers, unless you use an audio jack connecting to your TV or surround sound system.Whilst you do not have to be a rocket scientist to perform the connection to your TV, it is always recommended that you check your connections, and read your manual first - both for your motherboard and your TV set. This will ensure you are getting the best picture quality, and the easiest possible connection to watch free movies online.
