I’m still on my quest to watch Netflix online movies on my TV. I just looked at my laptop, and I think I have a solution. My laptop has a VGA out, and my Olevia TV has a VGA in. Is it as easy as hooking a cable between the two, then selecting the VGA out port in Windows Control Panel?

ETA: Where is a cheap place to get such a cable?
