a better way to watch...

[Tutti-frutti]

my son bought a hd cable that goes from my laptop to the tv wich lets me see all the beads in a really new way. And bigger than life, with my eye's going old this is the new way for me to see .
the cable can get pricy if its longger but he paid about 10 bucks for the shorter one. look into it it's soo eyeopening...lol

we have flatscreen lcd tv and where all the cables go in the back like for a dvd player thats one of the slots this cable gets plugged in. I think he bought it at Radioshak. the laptop has to have the insides installed for the cable to work.
when he comes back this Wednesday I'l ask him

Check back side of laptop, on most there is two auxiliary outputs, one for VGA type monitors and one for TV (usually labeled VIDEO) ... The TV (video) one is the simple "RCA" style plug/cable and you plug it into the back (or side) panel of TV to the jack labeled VIDEO... Generally these jacks on laptop and TV are color coded and if so it will probably have yellow as "color code"...

IF you still have manual for TV and Laptops, it should be explain what the jacks do and how to connect them together....

It's pretty simple, just like hooking a VCR to a TV with a "composite" cable...
