1. Sony Bravia Sync Settings

When it comes to home entertainment televisions, one of the most advanced lines on the market is the Bravia (short for 'Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture') line from Sony. In addition to being Internet ready, these TVs can also be hooked up to peripheral devices, such as laptops. If you want to connect your Dell laptop to your Sony Bravia TV, there are a couple of ways you can do it, depending on your Bravia and Dell models. The first is through a standard VGA (Video Graphics Array) cable, the same as used to connect computer monitors. The second is by using an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable from the PC to the TV. Once the appropriate cable is connected, the Dell laptop should easily detect the Sony Bravia and send its display to the TV.
