is it possible to.............

Connect my tv and my laptop, so that I can browse youtube, and watch vids etc, and it is shown on the tv screen with sound through the tv also?

The laptop in question is a Sony Vaio VGN-N11H, and the tv is a Sony Bravia KDL40V-3000?


Sorry to be a luddite chaps, I'm sure its easily do able, but i'm not great with technology..........

Should be, just need a VGA D-Sub cable to go from the back of your laptop into the telly

Oh, and for the sound you need a 3.5mm jack to phono cable, which is equally easy to find.

While you are doing that, it might be worth grabbing a wireless kb/mouse so you can sit a comfortable distance away from the telly.

And a 3.5mm male to RCA for audio.

Actually, if both the laptop and tv have hdmi, just use that. Audio and Video over one cable.

Yup, was just editing my post to reflect the need for sound

Thanks all,

The laptop doesn't have a HDMI port, which is a pain, where would the 3.5mm male RCA go into the back of the laptop?
