A question for you techy people :)

[slleipnir]

I have no clue about this sort of thing, so hopefully someone here can help me....

I want to connect my laptop to my TV so I can play avi or other video files on my computer but have it display on my TV. My computer isn't that high tech. I have USB ports and VGA port. That's it really.

I was looking at this http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...&sku=G126-1034
it seems to work other then it doesn't have audio...also, what are composites?? I don't think my TV has S-video...oh and is there some way if i bought that thing that I could still hook audio up to my TV??

Or maybe you know of something easier/cheaper?

Composite is RCA, which if you have a newer TV, are those yellow, white and red plugs. If you have an older TV, you can get an RF Converter from one of the dollar stores or walmart for about $14 to go with this. Hope this helps!

That one is like $40 more then the one I posted...my bro told me I could probably get audio cables to go along with it and it would be cheaper...do you think?

I believe you need s - video out to conect an tv to an laptop. Thats the only cable you need because svideo carries both audio and video, like coaxial. Mabye try this little gaget: http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/u...o_adapter.html

As I said, my computer is pretty basic and doesn't have s-video...it would make life so much easier if it did though D: I only have usb and vga

From the same site Reggie posted, might do the job.

I have tv cards in some of my pcs so hooking up a tv is easy but wouldn't work unless you have a tv card in the laptop
