What lead connect laptop to TV?

stphnstevey

I have a HP Compaq 6910p and a HP G56 laptops that we want to connect to a Celcus (don't laugh!) 40913FHD.

The laptops don't appear to have a HD port, but only VGA. Tried a VGA cable and it works, but knicked it from PC monitor so need to know exact one to get another - think it might be a male to male VGA cable - not sure if need 15 pin to 15 pin or 15 pin to 9 pin?

Also how do I get audio through TV speakers - read need cable from headphone jack laptop (would this normally be 3.5 jack?), but not sure what connector needed for TV. Tv has component video and audio inputs (YPbPr?). A link to an example lead needed would be good or the description needed to search.

Thanks alot!

usually a VGA to VGA male and a 3.5m jack to 3.5m male, and choice of length upto you.

Thanks, is that 9 pin or 15 pin?

I have headphone socket on TV and laptop, can I connect those together or are both outputs rather than output input?

15pin, on both ends, check the connector on my lcd tv and laptop, which both should be female.

i did a bit more research, and read on this site http://celcustv.co.uk/products/celcus-40-fhd-lcd believe thats your Tv,

maybe i'm missing 2 rca connections which should be Red and White,
maybe I should ask the question on your TV on the rear does it have 5 RCA phono connections marked Y Pb Pr and then L R with audio under neath ?
if so the audio cable your looking for would be a 3.5mm Jack to a 2 RCA phono connections. like this http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/3.5mm-jack-phono-cable-1m.html
the headphone socket would be a output only not a input, the link is to give you an idea of the lead your looking for only. probably be cheaper to get 1 via ebay.

Please double check before buying any leads about the audio.

Excellent, just the lead I needed! Got the VGA from ebay for £2 and the 3.5mm to RCA for £1.

Found some leads already had (but only short cables) and managed to get it all connected up working great! Been watching Sky Go and now just need to find a few film sites to watch

THANKS :beer:
