Hey all, got a question just wanted some help. Basically, when i watch the games on the laptop, by streaming, i was wondering if there was any kind of lead or something i could buy so i could watch it on my tv instead?

Thanks in advance.

You need to get a VGA monitor cable. This will allow you to connect your laptop to a computer monitor, an LCD screen etc.

Ok thanks for your help mate.

Have you tried turning it off then on again?

Several times.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Some TV's will not recognise the signal, or it is a distorted signal, so an alternative can be using something like the new Apple TV device.

ok then..try this....pull the plug out THEN put it back in..Everything should be ok then.

i use an hdmi cable. goes from laptop into tv so i get all my shows,films and arsenal games on my tv

Yeah, pretty straight forward really. Just get yourself a cable that matches the connector on your laptop, usually VGA but quite possibly HDMI these days.

Got mine hooked up with HDMI for movies & tv in lovely hi-def

depends on your tv and your laptop, mate. look what sorts of video output (laptop) and video input (TV) they have (you'll see by the type of conector). and the order or preference in terms of quality is this:

1. DVI or HDMI
2. VGA
3. SVIDEO
4. RCA

google image those names if you don't remember what they look like.

Thanks for your help lads.
