That isn't a bad cable, but that is using standard RCA plugs, that is more for a TV studio wire. I would just buy two different wires. Let me explain my situation and it may help some.
I have two TVs, both LCD, one is an Insignia 32", and I love it, best buy brand actually does well. I use this as my primary monitor. I have a DVI to HDMI cable that I bought from Wal-Mart. Only reason I did this is because it is shielded and made a bit better then the ones you can find online, it cost me between 30-40 dollars, cannot remember. The second cable, also purchased from wal-mart, is a male to male 3.5mm cable. It simply uses the headphones jack on my computer to and hooks to the TV. The second TV that I have is a Samsung 42" in the living room, LCD, I use a DVI to VGA adapter, and then a standard monitor VGA to VGA, it does also have a HDMI hookup, but the XBOX is using that :-) Use the same 3.5mm male to male wire. Depending on what computer and setup you have your cables may differ slightly. If your laptop has a VGA cable and so does your LCD monitor then just use a standard monitor cable. If it has a HDMI hookup then you might have to get tricky with this. You can get a signal amp/ changer thingymaggiger but it isn't cheap. Both VGA and DVI Only carry video, and not sound. I do believe that HDMI carrys sound and video, but you cannot pull sound from either on a laptop yet. Best bet would be to just use a VGA to VGA cable with the 3.5mm male to male on your TV, most LCD TVs have these hookups. Some TVs do NOT have a VGA and they have a DVI, just make sure you get the correct VGA to DVI cable for your TV. http://forums.audioreview.com/showthread.php?t=17428 When trying to find a DVI cable there are different pins inside each one to be leery of which to purchase. I believe one that I have is a VGA to DVI-I http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119044&cm_re=VGA_to_DVI-_-12-119-044-_-Product When viewing this product, notice the picture that shows the 4 pins around the DVI set pin (the large long pin) That is the difference between the two, just be sure if you purchase a cable that your hookup does or does not have this. Let me know if you have any questions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
