Computer Video Question

[Tweak]

Does anyone know how or what components are needed to hook up a regular 52' Sony flatscreen with standard AV/Audio jacks to recognise computer imaging? I know that several perifreals alow you to browse the net from your telivision, but I don't want to blow hundreds of dollars on all the stuff that I don't need that comes with it. Is there a simple coaxial cable or other wire that hooks directly into the back of a laptop that then leads to the set? Any help would be great.

as long as you have a graphics card that isnt built into the motherboard. You can use either a yellow video cable and that works fine, but then no sound on the tv, just comp. Or you can get a s-video cable if you have thatg output on the laptop. Could we get pics of the backside of the laptop?

I have both Coaxial and S-video output. both male and emale on the TV. No pics.

And it is an Inspirion 1100 by Dell

also, you need to enable tv out on the laptop if you want to use the s-video or coaxial.

I find things. That's what I do. the last link I sent should be your first resort, though.
