Thanks for the input - I'm a bit confused...what's the difference between a RGB cable and a VGA cable? For my PC laptop, I presume I'd use the output that looks just like the cable you pictured above and the TV has the same input jack labeled "PC in", along with a spot for the 1/8" mini (both are female jacks). So the cable you show should work fine but what is the rgb cable that should be better quality? Does it use the same jacks? As for my MacBook Pro laptop, it's pretty new to me and I'm still adjusting to the Mac world but it doesn't have any such jack...so for the MAc users out there, are there options for it that I could use? Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, I should understand this stuff better at this point in my life.
