VGA
S-Video What ports to you have the laptop? I use my wireless laptop with wireless keyboard and wireless laser mouse connected to the HDTV using VGA mode. So you need to get a VGA monitor extender or S-Video depends on what you have on the laptop for video outputs.? |

Hi,
You could try a wired or wireless PC to TV converter from AITech. If you have an HDTV, you could go for AITech VGA to HDMI format converter or Scaler. Good luck |

Hard to answer without knowing what TV you have. Some are easy and some are hard. Also do you want HD video or is SD for DVDs and internet videos ok?

Converters don't always come out looking right. If the wireless laptop has VGA port and the HDTV has VGA port and you have the VGA cable then that way would be great. Now some newer laptops have HDMI port so you can connect directly to a free HDMI on the HDTV instead.

I chose my Vizio VO32L because it had VGA inputs. I wanted a Vizio when i first started shopping around for new LCD tvs and the fact it had the VGA input sold me on it.
I only use it when people come over and we all can gather around the screen to surf facebook or e-bay or somthing. Ive used it a few times to stream movies with but not very much. It looks great though

If you have an HDTV, just buy a DVI to HDMI adaptor. They are only 3-4 bucks at monoprice. Then run an HDMI cord to your plasma/LCD.
