    What sort of tv do you have?
    Does it have hdmi, VGA, or other ports on it?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    My Dell 1080 has a 15 pin VGA connector, chances are yours has the same.
    .....and from the picture of it on Amazon it does, but has the TV got one too??
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Yes, 15 pin VGA cables are standard ones.

    Be careful you don't get ripped off in stores like Currys etc..You can get them on ebay for about £2 each.
