A question for you techy people :)

As i posted, S - Video carries both audio and video. So there is no need for additional cables.

again, I don't have s-video....

... VGA (computer) on one side, and RCA (tv) on the other.

see above

again, I don't have s-video....

Again, as i posted, an USB to S - Video converter.

My bro just came and looked at my computer/TV...apparently my TV is made to support computer hook up. He said all I need is a male/male VGA connector and a male/male audio thingie...not really sure about that but he said he'd help me look tomorrow...hopefully it works. Definitely cheaper...

ok so I wanted to look for this today in stores (as there is $20 shipping for this....just keeping my options open) I forgot to ask my brother something.

Is this:

the same thing as an extention cable? I looked online at different places and all I see are extention cables...if not, what's the difference?

What your brother is recommending would work -- however it will only send a video signal from your PC to your TV.

This is the same thing, cheaper for 7.99 but only a 6' cable instead.

You would also need a cable like this one http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...5581&CatId=449 (plug into your headphone jack on your PC and will split into left/right channels so you can have stereo audio instead of just mono -- plug into the TV - $16)

That setup would run you around $24, +tax +shipping, unless you source it locally like at Radio Shack or such.

Thanks! I already got the audio thing this morning....I went out by myself and got a VGA cord...however, I'm not sure it's the right thing. The guy at the store told me it was, but he seemed a little unsure of himself (I can return it, so no problem there) I plugged both cords in, and switched my TV to PC mode and it says no signal input...do I need to do something with my computer? How would I get it to work?
