You need a VGA to RCA cable, about £10

Thanks for the fast reply i have now found one of these leads online and it says (Make sure your VGA card has TV-Out function to use the product)

Thanks again

If your TV has a VGA-in (in other words it can behave exactly like a computer monitor) then you can connect a standard VGA cable like for a computer monitor to it (but also need to connect a 3.5mm to 3.5mm male to male stereo audio cable most likely).

Only the highest end laptops have a proper TV out.

Hardly any video cards do, so yours probably doesn't.

Your TV doesn't have a VGA socket? Most do these days.



Lots of laptops have TV-out, but it's almost always svideo.



The number of pins might vary, and if they do then you'll need a slightly different cable.
