cables

Hi, what cables do i need to run laptop through the tv?

What outputs does the laptop have, and what inputs does the TV have?

If it's a reasonably modern laptop it may have a HDMI port, in which case if the TV is a reasonably modern flatscreen it'll almost certainly have a hdmi input, in which case a simple hdmi cable is all that would be needed.

Otherwise you may be looking at DVI cables (possibly with an adaptor at one end), or VGA cables and a separate cable for sound.

2yrs old tv and lappie.

Any idea what connections they have/the model names?

At a guess given the age you should be looking at HDMI, but that's a shot in the dark

did neither of these devices come with user manuals?

As the computer says in the Sci Fi Movie;


INSUFFICIENT DATA. CANNOT COMPUTE.

It should be the same connector as my mate used

My Sony TV requires a software download to my computer, to enable an output to my TV.

Brilliant description.

You need a lappie cable and a 2yr old TV socket.

Some wonderful answers, thank you all.

I dont think i am any wiser though.

Tv Technika 34" Lappie Advent 6311, you now know you are talking to a Knob.
Send me a pic of plug then i can tell which i need.

I will have to look through the manuals.

Aways been a good site this one.
