I have just bought a new SONY TV and would like to connect it to my PC to watch IPLAYER etc.

How do I do this?

You will need a DVI cable. Very easy to to.
Unless your PC and TV has hdmi connections in which case just a hdmi cable will do the job.

If only your tv has hdmi connection, the you could also use a dvi-hdmi cable

If it's a Sony, it's more likely to be a VGA connection (same as a standard computer monitor).

Thats how my laptop is connected to my Sony LCD and the picture is spot on.

You'll also need a 3.5mm stereo lead to get sound out of the TV as well.

VGA lead

3.5mm stereo lead

(All the above assumes you have VGA out and a 3.5mm line out jack on the computer)
