laptop to tv audio cable!!

nibs

hi, i am trying to connect my laptop to tv as well. I asked in currys and they said because my laptop doesn't have a hdmi port i will have to buy two leads, one for sound and one for picture. Is this correct? My tv is a samsung 1080p (a year old)
Thanks for the thread op.

Looks fine. They're pretty standard things. If you need a 5 metre length, go for it!
