Skye Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I've been trying to connect my tv to my laptop and I'm sure there's a way to do it with patch cords and s-video, but I haven't been successful with it. What kind of program do I need to make this work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggisnneeps Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 You need special hardware for thisYour laptop will only provide output so you can display its contents on other devices. Youcan't, for example, use your laptop display like you would a monitor - eg plug the monitor into any RGB socket and it will show upAs far as i know there is no interface to allow PAL or NTSC incoming to your laptop screen.If there is, though, i would imagine it would involve specific hardware installed (probably USB since its a laptop) and some kind of software to intercept the signals and display them (since the OS would be in control of the screen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
