My thing is, I wanna hook up my laptop to my television monitor, just to use it for regular computer use nothing special just wouldn't mind a larger screen and the television is definitely that mainly I think for my online poker needs to have more room for more tables at one time. So a friend of mine told me I would need an s-video cable in order to hook up the laptop to the television monitor and that would work. Well I bought an S-Video cable and I got nothing when I hooked the two together. So I was just wondering is there something I am missing? Maybe not compatible? Or does anyone know, am I just stupid(likely scenario)?
HP Pavilion dv9900 Entertainment Notebook PC series Home & Home Office
Thats my laptop
Sony Style Canada
Thats my television
So, I don't know its probably just me being stupid, but any help is appreciated.  |
Your laptop needs an OUTPUT VGA or S-VIDEO. It's not gonna work if it only has those inputs.
