    Is it possible to hook this ACER TravelMate laptop (no s-video out, only VGA ouput) up to a TV with an adapter and get a decent picture? (if any).

    Cheers

    Actually, I'm in the market for a VGA to scart connector, S-Video just doesn't really cut it tbh, though maybe I'm doing something wrong. Damn picture shows up in black and white.

    You think it would be easier to hook a sony laptop up to a sony tv.

    Had a problem with black and white colour using s-video to scart. Try changing the video setting from VHS to SVHS on the AV channel if you can. It worked a treat for me - the picture's perfect!

    Yeah, oddly enough, I tried it again yesterday and it just worked this time :?

    Cheaper than buying a bunch of new cables in any case ;)
