littleitaly1990 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hey guys, I have this tv : http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electro...5702#tabsection and this laptop: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/dell-inspi...7-32471367.html and I am wondering what is the single best way to connect them and maintain quality, without spending ton of money...basically, what is the best wire for the job. By the look of things, my lappy only has vga and s-video out, and my tv only has s-video, hdmi, and component in, so would s-video be best, or something like a vga to component, or is there a better way? Thanks. Quote A vitrolic, megalomaniacal sadistic psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Can you just take a pic of your laptops sides.. lol..

AI James Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 rgb connection although i wouldnt recommend it for a long period of time on a plasma due to burn in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleitaly1990 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) rgb connection although i wouldnt recommend it for a long period of time on a plasma due to burn in so what wire would this require...vga to rgb? Or is there a converter needed? Also I'm not worried at all about burn in, the new plasmas it's barely an issue, and my panasonic has multiple features preventing burn in... Also I'm pretty much just using this to watch my blu-rays on my tv (if possible, my laptop has bluray) and other online videos...

littleitaly1990 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 basically, my laptops weakest point and my tv's weakest point are clashing here...there is no dvi or hdmi out on my laptop, despite having bluray, and there is not vga in on my tv, so I pretty much have to use s-video, which I know doesn't support hd, and would suck, or something with an adapter.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) HDMI then.. dude if your trying to watch blueray on your TV that will be the best connection.. unless you can get opti connect, which i believe is better then HDMI S Video isnt that bad to be honest... i use it to connect my laptop to my 42" LCD TV and it comes in really good to be honest, not HDMI or blueray or anything of that nature *thank god for PS3.. lol * But its still good quality Edited August 31, 2009 by Army_guy614 Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

1992Chevy K1500 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 S-video is your best bet. My dad has a 46" Sharp LCD tv. The picture quality is pretty good but resolution is still limited. At best, you will get DVD quality videos. Blu-ray seems to be a stretch.
