I have posted on this subject before.

My laptop has only a VGA connection (No DVI), I want to connect it to mt philips LCD that has no VGA connection, only HDMI. What are my options and will something like this work

VGA only carries picture and not sound right. Not too worried if sound is off pc once I have the big monitor.

And for sound is it possible to get some sort of cable that will convert the laptop earphone connection to the L/R connections on the Converter.

have you some sort of home cinema system?
if so a 3.5mm to phono would do the trick for the sound.


I don't think that lead/adaptor you posted will do the job, as the TV will have to be switched to an AV channel to receive sound, and another AV to receive picture.
