    Need some sort of RCA TV-Out... laptop only has VGA and HDMI

    I have an HP 8510w that only has a VGA and HDMI port. I need to be able to run dualview and connect to a TV that only has RCA composite ports.

    I didn't have an issue on my old HP 9440w that had svideo because svideo-RCA is easy to do.

    But this newer 8510w has HDMI. Is there some sort of HDMI to RCA adapter out there? I need to be able to do dualview (not clone) on this laptop for presentations.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is what you need: (both of the ones Zewle linked are Component, not Composite) beware tho changing types up like this can lead to undesired side effects sometimes, like bad picture quality, or the pc not recognizing the external monitor correctly ect.
