    k my laptop is a Hp G 60 104-CA ..

    these are the ports on my laptop: HDMI, VGA(15pin) and i have a microphone and headphone jack

    my tv is a Sony WEGA XBR 36 inch ... got S-Video port and the regular Video and Audio ports...


    how would i be able to hook this thing up ...

    if i gotta run audio off my laptop i guess thats gonna be alright cuz the speakers are louder than life ...

    how would i get the video

    you can use hdmi out to the tv assuming your tv has that. that way, the audio would come through the tv because hdmi is video + audio out.

    alternatively, you can use vga out to the tv but then your sound would be either coming off of the pc speakers OR you can do what i did and hook them up to a surround sound system.

    hth.

    i have a logitech z5500 surround sound speaker connected to my laptop. my 42" plasma is connected to my laptop via VGA cable. that way, anything i play on my laptop, the video goes to the tv, and the sound gets sent to the surround sound setup. that goes for anything - games, movies, etc.

    What is that cable? HDMI-->Component? If so that would be perfect.
