Connecting Mac PowerBook to Samsung TV

I am hoping to connect my 12" PowerBook G4 (1 GHz) to my
newly-purchased 26" Samsung LCD TV.

The Samsung Manual says I need a "D-Sub Cable" to the PC IN connector
on the TV. I also need a PC Audio cable for the audio.

My PowerBook has a Mini-DVI port and came with a Mini-DVI to DVI
adapter and a Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. Apparently there is also a
Mini-DVI to Video Adapter sold separately, which supports composite
video and S-Video connections, but I would prefer something that fits
the "PC IN Connector" on the TV which is a 15-pin socket.

What is a good source for a "D-Sub Cable" and what sort of adapter do I
need to hook my PB to this cable.

Many thanks

VGA uses the 15-pin D-Sub connector, so the Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter and
a VGA cable should work.

When I connected my G4 PowerBook to my Sony CRT HD set I used DVI-HDMI.
The picture quality was not good. But then I got to connect it to my
buddy's 45" Sharp Aquos LCD set and WOW! What an incredible picture.
For that set-up I used DVI all the way to his set. I have not tried
DVI to VGA.
