Which cord do I need to connect computer to television?

Question

I have a Toshiba LCD and it has a function where I click input and it goes to PC mode. I was wondering how I could use that and which cord I would need. The TV I have is this one:

I have a Sony Laptop that i'd like to connect it to. I think it's the CR one. If it's not possible to connect it to that, I have a desktop, but it's around 5-6years old.

I was wondering what I would need to buy to connect my computer to my TV. Thanks

Answer 1

well if it has a pc mode then most likely it has a monitor port on it, so i would just use a reg cord that you would use to hook up  a desktop to a tower of a computer, thats how i can hook mine up to my tv

Answer 2

Your laptop or desktop video card has to have TV-Out capability.  If it does the cable is pretty cheap.  You need an S-Video cable.  It has an S video connector on one side and on the other it has the standard RCA plugs  (red, white connectors ).

Answer 3

depending what kind of output your laptop has this should be the laptop output so you need a cable with this http://www.optimization-world.com/img/pr...
