Q: to watch movies on my tv rather than my little 15" inch computer monitor. I know i jsut need to use a wire to connect my pc to my tele, but i need to know, 1)what the wirre is called 2) if i can get long enough wires as my computer and tele are far away.
A: No, you do not just need a wire. First you need a display adapter in your PC that can output component video (which is totally different to the video sent to a monitor), you need to take account of the fact that TV pixels are not square while monitor ones are, or you need a TV that has a VGA input (mine does). If you have the latter, you need a VGA cable and a sound cable (VGA does not send sound to the TV). If you have a card with TV out on your laptop you will probably need an S-Video cable, though if your TV does not have S-Video in you will need a cable that converts S-Video to SCART or to three composite inputs (they are colour coded).
