HI,
The screen on my laptop is dead (sob!). Is it possible to get the VGA output to a TV. I have tried using S-video (laptop) to s-video (TV) but the resolution on the screen is terrible. Is it possible to link the VGA output from the laptop to the s-video or SCART input to get the best resolution?
Thanks
Tim |

I'm absolutely sure about this but I think the problem is on the TV not the connection...if you don't have a High Definition TV you are limited in the NTSC/PAL standard which is 480 or 576 lines of resolution (pixels) across the screen.

| The real problem CAN be the refresh rate of the laptop output. being (don't quote me) 72hz, where a television cycles at 60hz. (something like that) SOME computers have a video card capable of switching. If you can get a picture on your television that is usable, check your control panels or system preferances. |

| There are all sorts of cable connections you can buy that will help you out. I've connected my computer to an old style console TV that only had a coaxle cable connection all the way up to a projector that I use on a regular basis. I actually went out and purchased all the conversion cables soon after purchasing my laptop and haven't had a problem at all. |
