    OK, you're saying that you want to connect a tv to an lcd tv, right? Why? If you mean connect the laptop to the lcd tv then the cable you have should connect them fine as long as both of them have the necessary connections. That cable is only for video though, it doesn't carry the audio.

    It doesn't carry audio on that cable unless it has a separate cable with it that will connect into the headphone jack.

    You have to setup the dual monitor display thing on your laptop. It is generally a button combination that does this. On mine it's fn + f8. Try that.
