How to connect laptop to TV using a VGA cable and a 3 RCA cable

Question

I would like step by step instructions showing me exactly how to do it especially with pictures to show me where the cables connect to. I don't know what goes where and what program I need to connect a TV to a laptop to watch my movies.

Solution

VGA

VGA or Video Graphic Array output has separate (Component) colour outputs. It has separate outputs for Red, Green, Blue colours.

Also it doesn't have audio output.

RGB

RGB or Red, Green, Blue cables have one (Composite) video line while having two stereo audio lines. Even though it is called red, green, blue, it doesn't have separate video lines.

So VGA output needs to be converted into one or Composite line before it's connected to a RGB or RCA cable.

Such a converter is called a VGA to Composite converter or Component to Composite converter. You need to have a VGA to Composite converter for your purpose.

VGA (RGB) signalling is different from RCA component (Y,Cr,Cb or Y/Pb/Pr - check which is supported by your TV) signaling. You need a special converter box. Google "vga to rca" for more information. BTY you are off-topic :-)
