    Hope you can help on this.

    Have a laptop with a regular external monitor connection and a couple of usb ports.

    Can i get a cable to connect to my HDMI slot on my tv so i play and hear video?

    cheers

    As far as i know theres no way to connect the two. I could be wrong though. A lot of tvs have a vga connection though so you could check if it has one of those? Sorry if that wasn't much help!

    I have connected my laptop to my tv using a HDMI and DVI cable .Had to connect the sound seperately though. You can also get HDMI and VGA cable .Can be done . Now I watch films from an external hard drive through my laptop on TV. If this granny in her 60's can do it any one can Enjoy :)

    USE a vga to vga cable, using the tv vga interface.
    See www.svideo.com for tv settings etc ,set pc resolution at 720x576, or 1024x768, refresh rate 60mhz.
    Download powerstrip prog, here, http://entechtaiwan.com/util/ps.shtm
    for sound use a 3.5mm to 2 rca male cable , from pc line out ,audio out.
