Smile Connecting laptop to tv
Okay since you guys have been 2 for 2 with my last two questions, let me it 3 for 3.

I'm currently going to be getting a new laptop around May or so, and I am interested in having a laptop that i am able to connect to my tv (so i can view my laptop on my tv).

A couple of questions I'm hoping you can help me out with.

1. I know there are a few ways to connect a laptop to a tv... so which method is the best if:

- I am connecting the laptop for playback on a regular (non-hd) tv?
- I am connecting the laptop for playback on a HDTV?

2. If i am connecting a laptop to a tv..... would the audio play from the computer speakers or the tv speakers? My preference is for the audio to play from the tv speakers. Is there any additional cable connections I would need for this to occur?

3. I assume this would be answered in the previous two questions but, if i am looking for a laptop that can have the ability for playback on a regular tv and/or HDTV..... what input connectors on the laptop should I be looking out for (or would these input connectors on the laptop be standard now)?

Thanks once again for all the help.

Very much appreciated.

1. Non-HD: S-Video/Component HD: HDMI

2. It should play from the TV if hooked up with either HDMI or S-Video/Component with some audio jacks as well

3.Loads of laptops have HDMI. Computers look shit on SDTVs anyways so you're best off getting one with an HDMI and hooking that shit up to an HD
