Connect Laptop to TV via VGA

Your Laptop (VGA Out)
Your TV (VGA In)
Do you ever feel like you're writing the same thing over and over again, just switching out a few words and trying to put a clever spin on the next iteration of the exact same instructions? Sort of like "If your laptop takes Output A and your TV takes Input B, use this cable or converter..."

No?

If your laptop has a VGA output and your TV has a VGA input, this VGA cable is all you need to connect your laptop's video to your TV screen. Also known as a "blue monitor cable," chances are if you're reading this on a desktop computer you're sitting within a few feet of one. While a VGA cable carries an analog signal, unlike its digital HDMI and DVI counterparts, it is the only (common) analog cable that can also carry a resolution comparable to a 1080i TV (1920x1080 pixels).

This particular cable comes equipped with a built-in 3.5mm audio cable that allows for a quick and easy method of connecting your laptop's audio to your TV's speakers. Next to using an HDMI cable, this single VGA/3.5mm cable is probably the easiest solution available to fully connect your laptop to your TV.

Of course, if 3.5mm audio isn't your thing, there are other options...
