[Shop-talk] pc to hdtv hookup (in the shop)

OK, I looked it up from work.  This online store was recommended to me and they have a ton of different cables.  I didn't look to see if they had this specific one or not.  I buy computer stuff from newegg.com, they might have the appropriate cable too.

You may need to do some research regarding your own laptop to see how it operates.  If it turns out that your laptop isn't putting out sound on the hdmi output then you can possibly buy an adapter that will combine the hdmi output and the submini audio output into one cable.
