I used VGA on my monitor for a while. Used VGA through to the monitor and then a jack that comes with the official cable to an audio in on the pc, using tha amzing speakers.
You could use the audio sockets or use the jack to the audio in.
On my new HDTV it has a D-Sub but no VGA i had to use a male/female converter that also comes with the official cable, and connect it to an RGB converter cable. Bare in mind I hardly know anything so i could be wrong with technical babble.
I didnt get the one with 12 months, but i got a code for uno, 1 month gold, a headset and the camera for £35 from HMV. You can get it for £30 from play.com or you can get the one with 12 months for £50
