Does your TV have a VGA Connection? Usually labelled PC? Does your laptop have a similar connection?

Do you want to watch TV on your PC or use the TV as a monitor?


If a monitor you will need a 15 pin SVGA port on both, if you don't have a SVGA on the PC, I have seen a USB to SVGA adapter in Maplins.

There's probably a sound input to go with it, probably need a stereo jack to 2x phono for the most common type.

And try 99p/poundland for a VGA to VGA cable, not sure if they always have them though.

You should be connecting the pc to the some speakers and not just the TV. So the PC sends the picture to the tv / and the sound to some external speakers.
