    My computer does not have an HDMI port, or an RGB, just USB ports.
    Community Answer
    Buy a double USB port. Or buy a USB port connected to HDMI. Then connect it to your TV. Or you can buy a computer with an HDMI port.

    How can I use my Smart TV as a display for my PC if I don't have Smart Viewer installed?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Use an HDMI cable and connect your computer to your TV. Then, on your PC, go to your monitor settings and select project to a second monitor.

    What is the maximum length of HDMI cable that can be used?
    Community Answer
    You can use a 50' HDMI cable before you start to notice signal degradation, though you may have a difficult time finding an HDMI cable longer than 25' unless you order online.

    How do I connect my smart TV to wireless?
    Community Answer
    Look for the VGA cord port on the back of your television, and use a VGA cord to connect your computer and television. Note: Newer Apple computers and Apple Air computers tend to not feature VGA ports; in this case you may have to buy an Apple VGA adapter.
