How to connect a Chromebook to a TV

Chromebooks are generally low-end machines, but they can handle many lightweight tasks like content consumption. However, most budget models come with small and often not-so-pleasant screens. So what do you do when you want to watch Netflix or do some game streaming on a Chromebook? You hook it up to a TV, of course. Here are a few ways to connect your Chromebook to a TV.

QUICK ANSWER

To connect your Chromebook to a TV, the device needs an HDMI port. If it doesn’t have one, you can buy a USB-C dongle with an HDMI port. Either way, connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your TV and the other end to your Chromebook. Alternatively, you can wirelessly cast your TV via Chromecast or Fire TV.
