    with the s-video output ? heh

    I try doing that but it seems the image on the tv is super blurry, plus windows media player doesn't show anything on the tv. I haven't tried doing this w/ another laptop on the same tv. I HAVE done this before with a desktop and there wasn't really any problems there - I could watch divx on the tv.

    Just wondering if this is one of those other mysteries of the w2v. =D

    its going to be alittle blurry on the tv. to view video on the tv you want to switch the tv as your primary monitor. you can also try and get although never tried it with a laptop. The ati vga to component video adapter. If you connect that to your tv it will be crystal clear. But you have to set it to a resolution your tv will like.

    wow so they actually have a vga to component adapter? didn't know they'd have something like that why I just read the macbook pro review and it was stated that apple actually sells a dvi->s video adapter, I was a bit shocked by that! Well the tv handles 720p so I figure 1280 x 720 or whatever the resolution is for 720p. Question on the s-video, do you know if s-videos ARE supposed to have 7 pins? The cable i have only has 4 pins.
