In order to connect our laptop and our television with this method, we will need 3 elements. On the one hand a VGA cable, which is the usual used to connect a desktop computer to a monitor. On the other hand, we will see on our television if you have 3 little yellow round pins (video) and red and white (stereo sound). It may be the case that there is a type of cable that combines these three holes on one side and scart output on the other.
The fact is that these three holes of red, yellow and white are to connect a cable known as RCA . Finally, we only need a VGA to RCA adapter .
