alright i may have posted this in the wrong area.. but here we go...

i have a Satellite L25 - Toshiba laptop. and a one of these here http://www.dealtree.net/cart/select_item.c...96&view.htm but i think mine is 48 inches... anyhow... i wanna be able to play moved on my lap top in office.. and go to the living room and watch them with everyone..........

i bought a s vid to rca adapter.. and a 50 foot set of rca's but i guess the s vid on my laptop is an input not an output?

i also tryed a monitor cable that i have its 100 feet for so.. but it looks as if i would need a double male adapter to make it work.... and i cant find one localy only on ebay.... then im gonna need 30-40 foot of that cable.... i have an idea of how to make it work..but i know for a fact some of you guys have this done.. and i firgued i would check with yall.

sorry my shit is all dusty... im a smoker. i should prooly get rid of this tv as it is projection.

The S-Video connection on your laptop will be an output, however you may need to go into your graphics processor's driver software in order to output the video through that connection.

what os you running? xp or vista?

equally the same, but just right click on desktop go to properties then settings tab and when you have the s video connected to both the tv and laptop just right click on the screen with the 2 on it and choose extend desktop.

Its possible you can only run two of your outputs at the same time.

Also, most generic VGA cables will be male to male. Shouldn't be too hard to find one that will be long enough.

yep, the VGA input is the blue one. You'll probably have to play around with your resolution settings on that output to match the TV.
