In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Connecting your computer to your TV requires connecting the two via a video cable. On the back of your computer, you'll see multiple ports and connectors. Video connectors may be located near the USB, speaker, and Ethernet connections, or you may have a separate graphics card further down the back of the computer. There are three main connectors that you want to look for on your computer:  HDMI - This is the current standard for connecting HD devices, and most modern computers will have an HDMI port on the back. HDMI carries both picture and audio. The HDMI port looks like a longer USB port. DVI - This is a digital connection that uses pins. DVI connectors are rectangular and have three rows of eight pins each. DVI only transfers the image signal. VGA - This is the old standard for connecting display devices. It is a trapezoidal connection with 15 pins arranged in three rows, and is typically blue. Avoid using this connection if you have access to DVI or HDMI, as VGA is the lowest-quality. VGA only transfers the image signal, and cannot display HD images. Once you know the types of connections your computer supports, you'll need to find out what types of connections your TV supports. Most TVs have input ports on the back of the TV, though some have ports along one of the sides.  Most modern HDTVs have one or more HDMI ports. This is the quickest and most pain-free way to connect, and also provides the best quality. HDMI is the only connection method that transfers both audio and video through one cable. DVI is not as common anymore, but can still be found on many HDTVs and standard definition TVs. VGA is typically not available on HDTVs, but can be found on standard definition TVs. This will help you select the correct input when switching to your computer's display. Buying a cable can be a confusing experience, as companies often throw buzzwords around to make their cables seem better than the competition. When it comes down to it, most people won't notice a difference between a cheap and an expensive cable. If you're buying HDMI, the cable either works or it doesn't, so a $5 cable will result in the same quality as an $80 cable. If you don't have a matching connector on both your computer and your TV, you'll need an adapter. For example, if you have a DVI connector on your computer but only have an HDMI port on your TV, you can get a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable. In this case, the HDMI wouldn't transfer any audio since DVI doesn't support audio. If you are connecting HDMI to HDMI, you won't need any other cables. If you are connecting using a different method, you'll need an audio cable as well.  To connect an audio cable from a laptop, use a 3.5mm audio cable and connect it to the Headphone jack on your laptop. On a desktop, use the green audio jack on the back of the computer. When connecting the audio cable to the TV, you may be able to use a single 3.5mm audio plug or the stereo (RCA) 2-plug cable. If you're connecting via VGA, turn your computer and TV off first. For DVI and HDMI, you don't need to worry about turning your equipment off. Make sure to select the input that you connected the cable to on your TV. Most TV remotes have an "Input" or "Source" button that will allow you to choose. There are several ways that you can do this, depending on the type of computer that you are using.  Many laptops have a "Display" key that will switch between connected displays. You may need to press the Fn key to access it, and it may just have a symbol instead of the word "Display". In Windows 7 and later, you can press the Windows key + P to open the Project menu. You can then select which display mode you want to use (computer, TV, extended desktop, or duplicate displays). In any version of Windows, you can right-click on the desktop and select "Screen Resolution" or "Properties". The "Multiple displays" menu will allow you to select between the different display modes (computer, TV, extended desktop, or duplicate displays). Your computer's monitor and your TV may have different resolutions, and your TV's display may be blurry when you switch over. Use the "Resolution" slider in the "Screen Resolution/Properties" window to select a clear resolution. Most HDTVs have a native resolution of 1920x1080. Select the "Recommended" resolution if possible.
Summary: Determine how your computer can connect to the TV. Determine how your TV can connect to the computer. Note the input label on your TV. Get the right video cable for your preferred connection. Connect your computer to your TV using your cable. Switch your TV to the correct input. Switch your computer to the TV's display. Adjust the resolution of the display (if necessary).

Problem: Article: Carefully wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and rinse with water. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel. Washing the chafed skin is especially important if you've been exercising or sweating a lot. You'll need to wash away the perspiration before treating the skin. Avoid rubbing the skin hard with a towel. You don't want to further irritate dry, peeling skin. Sprinkle powder over your skin. This should help to reduce your skin's friction. You can use talc-free baby powder, baking soda, cornstarch, or another body powder. The use of talcum powder has been brought into question since some studies show it may be a carcinogen, specifically for women if used in the genital areas. Use any kind of petroleum jelly, body balm, diaper rash cream, or product designed to prevent chafing over the skin to reduce your skin's friction. Several products are specifically designed to prevent chafing for athletes. Once you've applied an ointment, you may want to cover the area with a bandage or sterile gauze pad. If the area is very painful or bleeding, ask your doctor for a medicated ointment. You'll be able to spread it on the area much like petroleum jelly. Cool the chafed skin by applying an ice pack right after you finish exercising or begin to notice irritation. Make sure not to apply ice or an ice pack directly to your skin, since this can further damage your skin. Instead, wrap the ice pack in a towel or cloth and keep it near your skin for 20 minutes. This cooling sensation will give you immediate relief. Spread natural aloe vera gel directly from the plant onto the chafed area. You can also purchase aloe vera, but  make sure it has as few additives as possible. This will calm your skin. You may also want to drop a couple of drops of tea tree oil onto a cotton ball. Then, spread it over your skin. This can fight infection and help your skin heal faster. Create a soothing mixture of 2 cups baking soda and 10 drops of lavender essential oil. Then add this to a running bath of lukewarm water. Avoid soaking in very hot water, which can dry out or further irritate your skin. Soak for at least 20 minutes and then get out and pat yourself dry with a clean towel. You can also make a soothing tea to add to the tub. Boil 1/3 cup of green tea, 1/3 cup of dried calendula (marigold), and 1/3 cup of dried chamomile in 2 US quarts (2,000 ml) of water. Let the tea steep until the liquid cools, then strain it and pour into your tub. Chafed skin can become infected and need medical attention. If you notice an infection or scaly red rash, go see your medical practitioner. You should also see your doctor if the chafed area is incredibly painful or debilitating and sensitive.
Summary:
Clean the area. Apply powder. Apply an ointment. Apply ice packs. Apply soothing gels or oils. Take a soothing bath. Know when to see a doctor.
