Before i get my proper monitor, i will be using my TV just to get by for a bit, but im not sure what i will need to connect my computer to my tele.

this is my GPU (if it helps)

and my computer has VGA and HDMI inputs/outputs, so i guess it will be one of them. Im just not sure what cable i will to hook up to my tv,

thanks.

do OCUK sell the cable i would need ? I guessed HDMI, i dont think VGA incorporates audio, only video.

Its a cheap make, made in China with a dodgy "Neon" name stuck on the front...
parents thought they would buy a really good spec but really cheap :/ been a year with no problems, but i will try to look for a model number

Typed in the model number into google, found this, http://www.trustedreviews.com/tvs/review/2010/03/03/Cello-iViewer-C3298DVB-32in-LCD-TV/p1
here its under a different name but looks like the same tv.

Google
C3298DVB, thats the model number, the second link (hotukdeals) is the tv i actually have

Is eBay a competitor with OCUK? If it is i'll refrain from posting, but i found one
