Quick computer question...

[bing_17]

Hi guys, just a bit of advice here please.

Im wanting to connect my laptop (toshiba a200-1v0 equium) to the tele.
Now the laptop has the blue 15pin vga port, as does the tele.

I've heard that I can use a male to male VGA cable, and a headphone jack plug from the laptop to a twin red and white RCA cable. Will this work?

Or could I just use one of these instead? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VGA-15Pin-Mal...14&_trkparms=72:1690|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

If so how can I find out if my laptop supports TV out or whatever it is it needs? I've looked in the systems folder but can't find anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It doesn't need to support TV out, as TVs are just big PC monitors.

Just get a VGA cable, same as comes on desktop pcs

And a completly seperate Ear phone to Phono (I think) audio cable.

Ahh right yeh, so the first way I said (same as you) works then?

Will it work with the single cable in the link do you know? Its just made me think because it says in the listing, needs to support blah blah...

The cable in that link is shite.

Don't buy that cable off ebay, it looks crap

EDIT:

The cable in that link is s**te.
