OK -- I just bought a new Panasonic 50" Plasma HDTV.

I have a laptop but it does not have an HDMI port. It does have a
different port (3 rows, 5 pins each , is that a VGA port?).

The TV does have some HDMI ports as well as a USB port and I guess the
composite ports (red-yellow-green). Is there a cable I can buy that
will allow me to use this TV as a monitor with my laptop? If so, would
it be a VGA/composite or VGA/USB or what? I would like to sit about
13' in front of the TV so obviously I'd need a long cable (say a 15'
cable). Would such a long cable diminish the quality of the output?

Not wishing to be a PITA, but different TVs work differently. Did yours
come with a user manual, or a toll-free number to call?

The user manual sucks.

But, I did think there was a standard answer! Guess not.
