the dell xps M1330 would be perfect if it wasn't for...

... the lack of an s-video out. I like to watch videos on my TV, outputted from my notebook, and this feature missing is a serious downside to me. Are there any solutions that people have tried out and found worked?

would this work to convert an HDMI signal to s-video?

well it actually has newer technology... Like a HDMI port on it to hook up to a high def tv. Anyway there might be some adapter check on the dell site.

 

Yeah, I realize its newer technology, but I still only have a boring old analog TV.

That won't work. You would need a converter box that converts the VGA to Svideo or Composite to use the VGA output.

I don't know if the HDMI cable linked above would work.

 

that's a sony av connector, like on the PS2, not an HDMI connector.

Wouldn't this work?
