Connect netbook to tv

Options
Can someone please help me connect my samsung n145 to an Lg LH2000?

I've been reading up about it and have been told I need a vga to vga plus a 3.5mm audio jack to red/white phono leads.

The netbook though seems to have a mini vga port with no screw holes and any leads that I have researched are mini vga to scart or hdmi...

Could anybody please direct me as what leads to buy?

Thanks in advance

  • You sure it has mini vga? Its just all the websites (including samsungs own) say VGA, cant see anywhere saying it is mini vga. Pics show standard vga too.
    Does the connector on the back look like this or this (but without the screw holes?

    If it is just vga, plenty on ebay for next to nothing

    My Samsung N150 netbook - same series as the OP's - has an ordinary VGA socket, but with no screwholes.

    Any VGA lead should work, so that's pictures sorted.

    A 3.5mm jack to twin phono lead should do the sound, but I read somewhere this arrangement can produce sound which is out of sync with the pictures.

    If that happens, I don't think there's an easy answer.

    Does your TV have a 3.5 mm audio input? We have a Samsung NC10 netbook and a Samsung TV and I can connect them with a VGA cable for the picture and a 3.5 to 3.5 mm cable for the audio. No syncing problems at all.
  • Thanks everybody, so its an ordinary vga then

    TV is on the wall so difficult to see but it seems to have

    usb in (service only)

    hdmi/dvi in

    rgb in (pc)

    audio in rgb/dvi

    rs-232c in (control and service)

    so does this mean I can use a vga to vga (and connect to pc in?)

    then a 3.5mm (and connect to audio in?)

    Many thanks for all replies x

    Yeah that'll do it. Id suggest ebay as you can pick up cables for only a few pounds.
