For video, you're using DVI. Usually Plasma TV's will have one or two HDMI ports. On our Samsung one, it has one HDMI port and one HDMI/DVI port (both are HDMI style ports, but one accepts DVI signals). You need a DVI to HDMI adapter cord, where you connect your PC's DVI output and the TV's HDMI/DVI input. For audio, you can use a 3.5mm (headphone plug) to RCA L/R stereo cord to connect the green sound port on your PC to the RCA inputs that go with the HDMI/DVI port you're using. Our Samsung has a special PC Audio Input that's a 3.5mm headphones port, so I can use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord, but yours may or may not have that. You could also use PC speakers and just hook the DVI video to your TV.

that was why I asked for pictures, because a lot of hdtv have 3.5 mm slots for pc audio
