Default Re: Movie from laptop to TV question

I'll agree with everyone that's posted in the thread.

If you have a 'high definition' television, that's going to be your easiest option. Use the video out connection from your laptop (3 rows of five holes) and connect directly in the back of your high def TV using the same connector. The connection cable is typically colored blue for the 'non-technical' types.

This cable will not carry sound, however. You can pick up an adapter from radio shack that will convert your headphone jack to a red/white jack. You can then plug that into the audio input on the television. Alternatively, if your laptop speakers are good, you can just listen through them.

Bottom line, we'd need to know a bit more about the tv you plan to watch the movie on, as well as the laptop you're using, in order to get the easiest display.

If you're NOT using a high definition television, things become more difficult and expensive, just FYI.
