Question 1

I need to hook up my laptop to my TV. The laptop does not have HDMI but a pin type connector, so does my TV (it says it's for PC input.
What cable do I need?

You would need to describe the appearance of the "pin type" connector, but it sounds like it might be a VGA connector.  VGA is an analog connector used by older monitors and televisions.  Google images for 'VGA connector' to see if that is what is on the back of your TV and laptop.

Question 2

Are these cables HDCP Compliant? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Well I had to look up HDCP Compliance. It looks like the standard is for the equipment that connects to the DVI-D cable. I couldn't find any reference in the standard for cables.
Having said that, these are made in China. The actual cable number is E314459. The cables look well constructed. I bought these because I had so many different DVI cables that some would work, some would not. I did a little research and decided on these. These cables eliminated my problems. They are the DVD-D dual link cables that seem to be the best for "digital" signals (short of going to fiber optic). I can't imagine they would not work for whatever you are using them for. The only thing these cables do not have are the 4 "analog" pins. If you need the analog audio, then you would need the DVI-I cables but most everything that used these cables is digital now I believe. Strictly from a novice point of view..  :-)
