Which is the best/cheapest cable to get to connect a laptop to a tv?

VGA-RCA is unlikely to work ,It will only work if your laptop supports TV out from the VGA socket,

280403001376

Better 1 220492522817

or this one in Ireland 280403740293

but as above only if your laptop gfx card supports tv out via vga

what website are you getting the numbers from..
i've got a dell studio 17..
i.e ati radeon 3650 HD MOBILITY , will this work?

they are ebay sorry thought it would be obvious

http://ati.amd.com/products/mobility...600/specs.html

spend a couple of quid and find out... says it does it in specs (as long as the specs are for a mobility radeon hd )

Just a couple of quid wasted if they lied and a bit of hassle for you

Starting again ,Does your TV not have a hdmi socket ?., Are the RCA connectors red/green/blue (component) ?.If they are then search Ebay for VGA to component lead / cable and give it a try,If this doesnt work you will need a VGA to Component convertor box which is quite a bit more expensive,

tv's pretty old so no VGA or hdmi. rca is red white and yellow (the ones you need to plug in your ps3, wii etc..) I'll have a look on ebay though

These cables wont work because the ends aren't the right ones needed...

They are the right ones it's just the ends are female rca ----- you need to buy your own rca to rca to use them or use ones you have in house from any previous vcr/dvd player purchase

Yes you need VGA to composite then ,the yellow socket carries the video and the red and white are audio which you will need an audio cable for,
