Connecting PC To TV.....help

[E11OOT]

I want to connect my PC to my TV. I have the required sockets in the rear of the TV, how do i know if my computer graphics driver/cards thing supports this type of output?

CABLE

thanks in advance

I don't know why that cable has audio plugs 'cause VGA doesn't carry sound... only video.

What gfx card do you have?

Does your TV have S-Video? In fact, does your computer have S-Video? VGA is pretty standard tbh, if you have a monitor it is most likely connected to your PC via VGA (or possibly DVI)

If so

It's not audio, it's Y/Pb/Pr. Commonly used on TVs for Analog Hi-Def. Will work fine if your sceen can show reasonable resolutions.

The plugs being component plugs would make much more sense, but the website describe it as "15 pin SVGA VGA to 3 RCA AV Audio Video Male to Male Cable". The description also tells you to plug them into the audio connections!

I think they've got it wrong though.

I think they probably have, as there's definitely no provision (although there is plenty of space!) for audio on the 15-pin VGA connector.
