OK, how do I marry my laptop up with my tele? :oops:
presumably your new telly has a pc socket in the back somewhere - just use a monitor cable from laptop to telly...
Well yiss, BUT. The laptop's here (Wireless jobbie), the TV's no more than eight feet in front of me, the internet remote jobby's upstairs in the third bedroom. I'm stumped! :conf:
Worth checking (and depending what you want to do with telly), some new ones - think I recall you saying you were getting a new one a short while ago - have a USB slot for a network adapter, so you can connect the TV direct to the wireless router with a USB NW adapter...

You can also stream wirelessly from your laptop to tv through certain games consoles eg XBox. I don't have one of those but again there's lots of info on the net.

Or go to the computer shop and they'll hook you up with what you need.
Yeah, I stream from my laptop to my TV via PS3 and it works fantastically well. I also used to stream live events like football via an s-cable, so I could watch it on my TV, and that was great until I upgraded my laptop. New laptop doesn't have an s-video output and I've yet to get an HDTV, so couldn't do it anymore.

But yeah, streaming to TV = win.

You can get all sort of adapters these days on the net. I'd be surprised if they didn't make an HDMI to s video one (assuming your new laptop has HDMI output). Not HDMI quality signal but you'll be able to hook up to your tv.

I bought an adapter, but didn't seem to do the trick after spending ages messing with the settings (I read that it doesn't always work, and you need to buy something to the value of over £100, can't remember what it was) so I'm just waiting til I finally buy a new TV in a few months.

What happens with this setup Worthy?

Does your laptop recognise the TV as a second monitor?

You lost me.

I thought the idea was for the laptop to communicate with the TV via the router.

If the TV connects to the internet, you don't need the laptop (broadly)...

Lol, saw that. Can't believe they actually answered it as well!

I'm pretty sure they don't get a private train line direct to London!

it is. s-video is about 10 years before vga.

s-video can only do standard def resolutions (interlaced too)- its sub scart quality as the colours are sent seperately on both scart and vga

vga does all those HD resolutions that were for wierd monitor sizes .

i ran a 1080p monitor on a vga card for ages. i think.

Have always avoided "banter" with opposition fans until this weekend, but some of the garbage directed from "global" Man Utd fans towards SKD's wife and to BWFC in general was just uncalled for. "Banter" ensued.
