How to Connect a Monitor to HP ProBook 650 G3 Without HDMI

Select Language:

If you’re using a HP 800 G3 Mini Desktop PC and want to connect it to your TV so it functions as a monitor, there’s a simple solution. I’ve been using a DisplayPort to HDMI cable that carries both audio and video from my desktop to my 22-inch TV, and it works perfectly.

Here’s what I did: I purchased a DisplayPort to HDMI cable, which is designed specifically for this purpose. Make sure the cable supports 4K at 30Hz to get the best picture quality. I found this particular cable from Amazon Basics to be reliable. It’s a unidirectional cable, so just connect the DisplayPort end to your PC and the HDMI end to your TV.

Once everything is plugged in, switch your TV to the correct HDMI input. Your desktop display should automatically extend or mirror onto the TV. You might need to adjust your display settings on your PC to make sure everything looks right — for example, setting the TV as your main display or adjusting resolution settings for the best picture.

This setup allows you to easily turn your TV into a high-quality monitor, whether for work, gaming, or streaming videos. If you want a dependable cable that supports good resolution and sound quality, I recommend this Amazon Basics DisplayPort to HDMI cable. You can find it here.
