Hi Matt,
I Have a IBM Thinkpad t60, but it doesn't have a s-video port, nor does the vga have tv out capability i think. my video card is ati x1300 series. i have a 24" sanyo flat tv, it has provision for component and s video input. how can i connect my laptop to the tv. i bought a vga to component cable, but it doesn't work. can u suggest me what should i do
thanks

If you want to connect your laptop to your display using component video, you'll need to pick up a VGA to Componenet transcoder, which is different than a cable with a VGA connection on one end and a component connection on the other. Above, Yog has a link available to the Clear Color 3 from Key Digital, which works well. It's a part I've recommended for years.

If you want to knock VGA down to S-video, there are other types of converters to do that. Read this page of the article How to Connect a Computer to Your TV: http://www.techlore.com/article/10061... There you'll see a huge picture of a device that will help do the trick.
