O/T - Connecting Laptop To TV

hi chaps

im trying to connect laptop to my tv and i have a blue scart socket thingy (haha as u can c i aint very technical ) on my laptop and im trying to connect it to my tv, VGA to HDMI cable is what i have (i think thats what its called) - tried searching online and people are saying i wont get sound etc but that dont bother me! ( i dont know weather i need a diff type of lead - or im just doing something wrong) if i do need a diff lead what would it be called?!

thanks for your help in advance guys,

my laptop is a samsung n130 (netbook)
tv is a shitty technika

If you got a hdmi slot on your laptop and one on your telly, then you just need a hdmi cable.

my TV is about 3 years old and I connect from laptop using the blue VGA output and the 4mm audio jack output from the laptop to the TV's corresponding inputs , if your laptop has an HDMI output then use that instead . My laptop doesnt have HDMI .

I do it the wireless way, the equipment costs just over £40..Here is a link to the one i use..

This is the best solution for you, nice and simple, after you connect your hdmi from your laptop to your tv simply select the relevant 'source' with your tv remote, eg: hdmi 1 or 2

I use this also its great

Did you change the output source on the laptop?. There should be a button at the top by the function keys which shows the picture of a monitor. If it's like mine, you have to press the "fn" key or shift key at the same time or before pressing the monitor one as the buttons are dual function.

Get the wireless gadget..As long as your telly has a hdmi slot, and your laptops got a usb slot for the dongle, it`ll work fine.
