Connection from Computer to TV
« on: November 20, 2006, 10:44:15 AM »
I want to connect my laptop to my television so that when I play music I can hear the sound from my tv as well as see the artwork display from my Itune software.

How would I do this?  What type of cord or cable will I need to buy?

What outputs do you have from your graphics card?

I am sure only a 15 pin VGA port.  ::)

That is a low end system with onboard video. Great for a lot of things, but not this.

You could also consider an FM transmitter.  Plug that into your headphones jack and it will broadcast the sound to a radio frequency.  I'm not sure what that jack is called, but you can also buy a cable that will convert the microphone jack into an rca jack.

Good luck!
