I have my granddaughter staying with me for a year as her home is in Rome and she has just got a place in a Cambridge university which is just down the road from us, she keeps in touch with her mum & sisters by Skype on her netbook, I was going to get a flat-screen
TV for her room but she said to buy one that she can connect to her netbook so what sort of connection do I need to ask for on the TV so she can do this? (then it's orft to jolly ole Comet)
Some Asus netbooks have HDMI out as well as VGA - this might be more convenient.
VGA only carries the picture - if you want sound to come out on the telly you need a separate cable.
HDMI carries both video and sound.
