I hate when I don't proofread what I've written! I meant "laptop to your TV".

I have a plasma display that has several inputs, oneof which is an S-video connector. The manual doesn't say anything about hooking up a computer to it, but I'd guess that'd be where it connects.

Does your interconnecting cable connect from the laptop video output connector to an S-video connector?

Bob,

It depends on the laptop. Every laptop has an external VGA output - it's the small serial like coupler with 15 pin holes. Some (like my Vaio) have an S-Video output (which you could use to connect to a TV). Others have a DVI output, which can also be used.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)
