The large Vizio TV that came with my rig has 2 dead/dying HDMI ports (already! - I've only used it for a year and a half), and that's how I connect my laptop for streaming TV. (And yes, I did buy a new cable to check.)
Don't know what to do now. It's on a reticulating arm and I'm not even sure how to get it off there, or whether there are places that will fix the ports for a reasonable sum if I did?
I maybe have one alternative, which I'm running by you all for opinions. There is an RGB port with a corresponding "PC audio in" port on this TV, and my laptop is so old that it also has an RGB port. If I bought an RGB cable and the audio cable, would this be an acceptable substitute for the HDMI connection?
