How do I connect my laptop to my TV using a VGA to RCA cable?

There are multiple ways to connect a PC or laptop to a TV. Here are the basic options: 1. Connect directly from PC to TV directly on a common interface - if they have one: HDMI - the best option if available SVGA S-Video Composite Video (RCA) 2. Convert your PC video output to a TV type signal with an inexpensive converter. These usually offer multliple interfaces. Make sure you get one that integrates the audio - some cheap models handle video only. So bottom line, if you have a new PC and TV look for a way to connect them directly, most likely HDMI. If either one is old use a converter.

The easiest and most cheapest way to connect your laptop to your TV is through an s-video port. Connect them, go to your control panel and change the settings. Next, set your TV to the correct input. Keep the audio cable and buy a s-video cable. Before you know it you will have your laptop screen on your TV ! :)
