Recommend method is - HDMI w/ digital audio   


 

Locate the cables on the desk and choose  
how you want to connect your laptop. VGA or HDMI?  
This decision will be based on what connection your 
laptop has.  
 
If your laptop has an HDMI port or can be adapted to then use the HDMI cable only.             
Newer PC and Mac laptops may have an HDMI, mini-display port or display port. The later two can be adapted to HDMI.
Older laptops will have VGA or require VGA adapters. 
Mac laptops manufactured after April 2010 support digital audio output via the mini-display port which when paired
with the correct adapter means only the HDMI cable is needed. 
Older Mac laptops will need to use the Mini Audio Plug for the sound. 

Mac users see Step 4 for more details 

Mini-display port adapters can be acquired from Technology Services  
or Equipment Checkout in BMC 5.104 and CMA 3.102.
