Is anyone else a registered at the vinyl collective forum? I tried to make an account but it's taking forever to get approved by the staff. Is this normal?
Took a little under a week for them to approve my account.

The video of the dudes climbing the 1800-foot tower is back up on YouTube. So crazy.

Not for any amount of money.

I've never understood why horse racing is such a big deal, but that was an awesome finish.

What are those cables called that you can hook up to play stuff from your laptop on to your TV? I want to buy one, but I don't know what to search for.

Well HDMI are the standard cable it seems like nowadays for flat screen TVs but depending on if your laptop actually has the input for one....DVI is probably a little more standard for what you want to do (....at least, I think it is)

If you have an HDMI port on your laptop then its extremely easy to set up.

DVI (Top) /HDMI (Bottom)



But apparently I just learned a lesson myself that you can buy a DVI-HDMI cable which I did not know actually existed. It all just depends on what outputs your laptop/computer/device has.

My laptop has an HDMI port because it's a Seton Hall laptop and all of their classroom projectors run on HDMI. But I'm graduating in December and I'm thinking about eventually getting a Mac or a different laptop, so maybe that DVI-HDMI cable would be safe to get.

I play all my stuff through my computer with a DVI-HDMI cable, works just fine. If you're using a new Mac, they have the display-port and thunderbolt connections, which are other options. Definitely get knock-off versions of the Mac ones, they overcharge by 200+%.

The new Macbooks should have the retina display last I heard, so that would be pretty sweet

I have both Mac & PC Laptops and I know the PC has an HDMI connection and I've used that to hook straight into my TV via HDMI/HDMI cable to watch a slingbox back home at my parents place on my TV, works great.

I think the first time you do it, you have to go into your display settings and toy with a few things on your computer but it only takes a second and is very easy if I remember correctly.

yes, I believe they have the highest premium of any product in stores. buy it from monoprice.com or meritline.com. there is no difference in quality and you will save a ton. i suggest you buy a 3+ HDMI cables and one DVI/HDMI adapter. no need to buy the DVI/HDMI cable, an adapter works the same and you can remove it. everything will run you less than $20. everything uses HDMI nowadays, and the DVI adapter will have you covered in connecting anything to a computer monitor. people that buy Monster brand cables are suckers.
