Your TV has DVI? That's not very common. Also, you'll probably find the DVI port on your laptop is for output. I've yet to see a laptop where you can use Video in on the DVI port (that would be pretty sweet though).
If you can use DVI, go for it. That would work much better.

Thanks for the reply. Both the dvi on the laptop and the tv are female.
I'll try to find a dvi plug hen.
Thanks
