Connecting a laptop to a tv

Connecting a laptop to a tv

What cables/adapters do I need to do this?

Re: Connecting a laptop to a tv

depends on the tv? does it have pc connections like dvi or vga or even hdmi?

if not then you'll have to use an s-video lead

It's fairly basic. Has a scart socket though, if that's any use?

ones of these may work but apparently there is issues with the fact that scart was updated and if the scart on your tv is the old type it won't work.

plus that only carries the video so you will need to get a cable to come out of the line out on your laptop and into the tv or speakers of some kind
