Cable HDMI scart lead

    Hi not sure where to post. I am just wondering about the HDMI scart leads to watch films on tv not just a laptop that can connect between a laptop and tv can't seem to find one that is suitable in the technology shops. The one I think is suitable is one with a small connection for the laptop for HDMI and a bigger connection for the TV in argos.

    What would anyone recommend? Or would one that bridges a connection with a usb/box with a scart lead be a better option, tried looking at the ones I have and they don't fit.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    If your laptop has a HDMI slot it's just a case of connecting a bog standard HDMI lead to it, the very same as from a games console to the tv.

    Ya just the scart leads I saw in the shops seemed either too small or too big to fit the slots for the laptop/tv. I'll look into it again thanks.

    It's not a scart lead from the laptop. Had your TV a hdmi port? If it had and your laptop has as well then as said above you just need a hdmi lead.

    Don't want to buy one and then end up returning it. Thanks for the help and suggestions!

    They're all the same. Just buy a cheap one in Dealz.

    A HDMI lead in Dealz is about €1.50, that's all you need.
