Ho there - is it a simple procedure to connect a Laptop to a Television? A friend mentioned that just a single cable is required - is this the case?

Output to a TV - so, for instance, play a DVD or a game on my laptop and have the sound & vision on the television screen.

If you have an S-Video port or something similar you only need one cable. If you only have a VGA (computer screen) port, you'll need some kind of converter.

Looks like it could be (or something very similar for the UK) - pleased to see that it's cheap too :]

Yeah, I'm going to see if I do - I have an HP Compaq nx6325 and it's 6 months old so it'll probably have one - will it be listed in the Systems section?

when connecting an hp laptop to a television, I know the S-video port will only be for video, not for sound. i want to be able to use my laptop to play DVD's and watch & listen through my television. How do I connect the laptop to the rca input jacks on the television for sound. Thanks for your help. MikeLAZY_TITLE
Would I use a single cable out of the headphone jack split into two RCA ends for input into the TV?

...although, if there's an 'aux out' or 'speaker out' maybe use that, but that's a minor issue.
