connecting laptop to tv

hello. i have a phillips HD ready tv.

i want to connect my laptop to the tv. my laptop only has a VGA output.

my tv doesnt accept a VGA connection, only a DVI (on the pc) to HDMI (on the tv)

 so how can i connect them together when i dont have a DVI output on my laptop?? do i need a VGA-DVI adapter plug (that will plug into my laptop), then get a DVI-HTMI cable to plug from the adapter to the TV?

 

any advice?

Panasonic LCD - Picture showing only vertical lines

I have a Panasonic TC-32LX50 32" LCD TV.  It's 1 year and 1 month old so unfortunatly just out of warranty.  When I switch it on all I see is a series of vertical color lines.  These are fixed on one side of the screen and move around on the other side.  The sound still works.  Any idea what's wrong with my TV, and if it's easy to fix?  Thanks!

Help with Samsung HCN653W Rear Projection

I have owned this TV for approx 3 years. While watching last week the TV shut down. I have attempted to power up, but only red timer light on the front glows. I have checked the fuse, it is OK. There is no visible signs of any damage. After unplugging for several minutes and plugging back in the TV does make a sound, but does not power up. Any suggestions??? Thanks.

Phillips Magnavox Model 9P5040 C102 Chassis PTV843: Image issues

I have a 50" Phillips Magnavox Rear Screen Projection TV.  When it's cold, and we turn it on for the first time, the image starts small in the center and quickly grows to full screen.  Sometimes it flickers several times between sizes.

I've read this was fixed with either a $400 power supply, or OPTO COUPLER 7412 PART #483520988561 THAT COST $6.49.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
