Hi,

I have LG 29" Turbo Sound CRT TV with 2 audio and 1 component channels and a dell vostro 1400 laptop which has S Video Out 7 pin port. I want to see movies on my TV stored on my laptop. I bought a S Video to 3 RC cable and a audio cable to connect to TV from laptop to watch movies. While audio cable works fine, I am facing problem with S-Video cable. with S-Video cable only black & white video is getting projected on my TV with disturbances, I also tried connecting VGA to 3 RC cable to TV from laptop but with this cable I am not even able to see video.

How to solve this prb so I can project video with color and no disturbances on my TV????

is there any single cable available which supports both audio & video and how much does it costs ???
