Help with the LCD

JayinGR · 08-02-2007, 01:22 AM

Hey guys...can anyone help mere here?

I recently bought a 37" LCD TV for the family room. When I got it I realized there was a hook up on the back for it to act as a computer monitor. Well I decided to buy a cheap Dell vistro with wireless keyboard and mouse so I could go online while in the family room.

Anyway on the back is a plug for sound (looks like the little green one on the back of the computer) but I cant find such a cord with TWO male ends on it so I can plug one into the computer and one into the TV for the sound.

Does anyone know where I can get one or how to hook it up?

Thanks

Cruise down to your local Radio Shack. They'll have them there. Make sure you get a STEREO one or you'll be listening in mono. If memory serves me right, those are 1/8" plugs...

Good luck!

Any new electronics comes with a manual and there should be a support number as well.
