[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1633499, member: 131855"] Can you tell us which Philips TV is involved (model number)? Some TVs of that vintage require that the computer be connected to a specific port on the TV or it won't work. If I looked up the right iMac, based on the information provided thus far, I think you will need the following: [url=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=300628&gclid=CNvpnvXcjcMCFaSPMgodRzEACQ&Q=&is=REG&A=details]Apple Mini-DVi to VGA Display Adapter M9320G/A B&H Photo Video[/url] A VGA cable to connect that adapter to the TV [url=http://www.monoprice.com/Product?seq=1&kpid=5597&format=2&p_id=5597&CAWELAID=1329451863&CAGPSPN=pla%26catargetid=320013720000066114%26cadevice=c&gclid=CMDg0vDdjcMCFSxgMgodUTkAKw]3ft Premium 3.5mm Stereo Male to 2RCA [/url] to carry sound from the Mac to the TV. This cable is available in varying lengths. If you don't already have one make sure that the "headphone" end of the cable has two colored bands like the one in the image. Single bands indicate a mono cable. [/QUOTE]
