Hi,

Most laptops have a S-Video output on the back, which either connects to the S-Video connector on you TV, or through an adaptor to a Composite Video or SCART socket.

If there is no TV out then it it possable to buy a converter to use on the VGA out, these cost around £30 in the UK

on mine my tv has a s-video socket on the front, so just plug it in there, you will also need a cable for the sound, just a hedphone socklet to phono plugs will do.

Yeah found that article to be un-helpful.BUT I do appreciate your suggestion.

I have already updated,double checked,plugged and unplugged everything.I just have a fuzzy picture...color but fuzzy.
I have adjusted resolution,color properties and everything else I could think of
