    So, true beginner here.

    I want to connect my laptop to my tv so I can use it as a monitor.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 2200 with a
    Mobile Intel® 915GM Express Chipset
    and a VGA output
    I also have a
    Phillips 27" Flat Screen Television, Model 27PT643R37A
    with a S-video input

    I've looked at simple cables VGA to S-Video, but my techy roommate say I need an expensive conversion box.

    Any solutions or advice would be greatly appriciated.

    Thanks guys!

    Hi,

    If your notebook does not have s-video out you will need a scan converter to go vga->s-video.

    Something like:
