Trying to get my comp to connect to tv
As in I'm trying to get my laptop to play vids on the tv (I've got an s-video cable connected to both of them). Was told I just need to plug in said cable into tv/laptop and that I'd be able to watch from there...dunno, I'm probably being stupid here...help?

Cause thats ALOT of dimensions When I see my opponent, I begin shaking uncontrollably, and once he hits me, I think to myself, You just hit Wanderlei Silva, how dare you hit Wanderlei Silva, and then I try to kill him.

For my laptop, you can switch which monitors the video card will output to by:
Right click desktop --> Properties --> Settings --> Advanced In that Advanced menu, there's a tab that let's you determine which monitors are active (laptop screen, TV, etc.) ![]() Your mileage may vary. Last edited by Vietnamese Crippler; 06-27-2009 at 06:29 AM. |

Does your TV have a VGA in? Cause S-Video is shit by comparison.

DVI to HDMI is the way to go.

HDMI to HDMI, then you'll get sound in the same cable.
