Samsung pub tv
Hi,
I was in my local pub at the weekend and the barman asked me if I could do a karaoke for him, He wants it through his samsung tv on the wall so I had a quick look at the tv and couldn't work out how I can plug my laptop into it as its attached to the wall. I know it can be done because another dj has done karaokes in there, another option is to take my own flatscreen tv but i would be neater and safer to use his.
any ideas how i can do it?
My laptop does not have hdmi

Hello
You need to use your VGA output on your laptop and convert it to either Phono RCA or S-Video using one of these Click Here
Thank you

Bit more expensive than the one Glenski linked to but I use these little gadgets - and they work perfectly!!

If it's a reasonably new flatscreen TV you'll probably find that the TV has a VGA in connection so you can straight from monitor output on your laptop to the TV. Making a note of the TV model will get you the manual online, which will give you a full list of the connectors
The box you've bought which will give you three different ways to connect - every way apart from HDMI in fact - so you should be ok anyway.

As glen said, will do the job, unless the tv in question has a VGA input already, I though most newish tv's did these days

I'm pretty sure it will have a vga input but getting to it is the problem as its on the wall, I did see rca connections on the side and I have a vga to rca lead so hopefully i'm good to go

The reason I put the cable up is because I already have it and thought it might be of use but maybe not, Karaoke is not something I do very often.

It's not meant to be connected to a PAL TV (it's not a composite output). The cable splits the video signal into Red, Green and Blue and the TV will need to be able to handle this (which most can't).
