The tv should have these by the sound of it just check you have all 5 imputs
if I remeber right the video quality sould be better than converting it to scart

Basically. You've shat out!

Unless your tv has a VGA in and a audio in. But then video quality and sound will be rubbish.

I have no issues with quality. Dont expect too much HD action.. I am betting your comp will not be able to provide a HD out. Have been using such a set up for a few years, and despite the fact that I have a HD TV and Virgin HD box, never needed to do a HD out from my laptop.

Great set up for less than 5 quid.
Top tip: ensure that you get cables that can reach from ur lappy 2 ur TV when you keep it in a table or wherever..
