I'm not sure what you mean by "more professional advice", but that's the advice that's been offered in these forums. You can ask the same question over and over, but you'll likely get the same answers, since you're asking the same forum.

If you took the time to actually read the search results I gave you, you would have found:

For audio, you'll need a 3.5mm stereo to RCA L/R cable to go from the headphone jack on the MBP.

That's one way to connect your Macbook pro to your tv. The Macbook Pro has a DVI output on the right side....looks like a rectangle. You need to buy a DVI-RCA cable... or a DVI-DVI if your LCD has the same port. You can check the back of the LCD if it has that kind of port. If your LCD has HDMI, you can use DVI-HDMI. There are numerous connection possibilities, it just depends on what you have available on that LCD. DVI is versatile in that there are many cables out there you can connect with since they many various DVI cables. Again, here they are:

Macbook Pro LCD
DVI to VGA - You'll need an adapter
DVI to Composite - Higher quality of pictures
DVI to HDMI - Higher quality of pictures
DVI to RCA - Good quality of pictures

Anyone of the following above, you can find a cable for. The only type of connection that would need another part to would be the DVI-VGA. The rest you can find a specific cable for it in Radio Shack or Best Buy.

And the answers you got were in those links, if you had taken the time to read them. The fact that your post was the first link is an indicator of how effective the search was!
 
Seriously, just stop guys this is stupid. I am really tired of people saying use the search button without giving him any help. Give him help than at the end of your help just say "next time use the search feature because you can find your answer easier"

I didn't just say "search", I did the search for him. I'm not going to read the results of the search to him. If someone is too lazy to click and read, I can't help them.
