So I'm wondering, I guess I can use what they call an "s" cable? (a little round thingie) or ???
I don't have a little round thingie plug slot on my computer. What is my other option? And if I get a round thingie is it gonna be super expensive? My computer is less than a year old (a dell laptop, inspiron 1150).

Wed, January 4, 2006 - 11:41 PMsince you have a laptop, your only option is to buy an external video card that has a tv out - S video in your case.
here's a pretty good product that does what you need for pretty cheap:

Thanks Ra.
Thanks Ra.
Thanks Ra.
Just wanted to make sure it posted.
Actually I looked at the link. This looks like for taking signal from the tv to the laptop. What I want to do is play music from my laptop and have the tv screen display the cool little wavy thing and play the music thru my stereo system.
Is that doable? I saw Flintie do something similiar I think. -

Re: hooking computer up to tv
Thu, January 5, 2006 - 9:28 PMthis should do both of those. you will have an audio out of this thing to plug into your stereo, and an tv output (s video in your case) to plug into your tv. -

Thu, January 5, 2006 - 10:27 PMAs of right now, I don't have an S cable output on my computer, so what is the output supposed to be? USB??? Don't think so. So uhm..... ? I have audio out of course for headphones, but what about video out? The monitor plug?? -

Sun, January 8, 2006 - 10:00 PMwell, the S video is on the video card that i'm talking about. as well as all the audio outs. i believe that thing connects to your computer through a USB connection.
