    Hi all, I want to connect my laptop which is a bog standard Packard Bell one to my flat screen telly which is a Toshiba one.The tellyhas a PC input whichI think is VGA. Will a standard VGA cable carry sound? I don't think it will but I'm not sure.....can anyone tell me if any of these cables are suitable for the purpose????</p>

    CHEERS!</p>

    And HAPPY NEW YEAR (gent) </p>

    VGA cables don't carry sound.</p>

    You will need a separate audio cable.</p>

    What model is your telly?</p>

    Dunno, I'm not at home, but it's the 32&quot; one that everyone seemed to be buying about 18 months ago.
