My TV has a S-Video port but my computer only has a VGA port. And I have a cable of VGA on a end and a HDMI on the other end, I connected the laptop to the TV but it doesn’t work!! PLZ REPLY =(
And what if I have a real TV? they don’t mention that. They expect everyone to be hung like a tic-tac [people who waste money on digital TVs].
why the fuck do they make this shit so fucking complicated?! You need all kinds of crazy cables, converters, etc. for fuck sakes, all laptops and desktops should have a coaxial jack, or RCA jacks on them.
All i want to do is hook my laptop to my TV, but i guess that’s too much to ask for. You gotta jump through hoops, buy expensive cables and adapters, etc.
fuck technology up the fucking ass. The only reason they make shit so fucking complicated is to make fucking money.
@talleyho12 A desktop? Yeah should work fine.
@abuser1231 E Yeah, you do, watch the video though again. There is a bit about the dual phono cables and plugging into the headphone jack on your laptop.
@dulceyponcho4ev Not at all. You’ll have to go and buy them.
Thanks for the Help!!
mine doesnt work either. My sound is working but my tv displays invalid format… Does anyone know what I should do? I have tried changing the settings on my computer to and that doesnt work.. Help please.. SOmebody?
@diego12nunez mine doesnt either. My sound is working but my tv displays invalid format… Does anyone know what I should do? I have tried changing the settings on my computer to and that doesnt work.. Help please.. SOmebody?
why do you want to use s-video, everything is going to look like shit on your tv.
that like, 480i + 1080p = shit
i dont have any of these cables when i bought my computer how come is that weird??
@ruleram1 One of those. It depends what same connection your pc and tv has
so you have to use a vga cable AND a hdmi cable AND an S-video cable? that REALLY doesnt sound right. can anybody please verify for me that you do indeed need all three of those cables.
you can take only kabel hdmi
Pretty good tutorial. Too bad I don’t have any money…
Are these videos for stupid people? Or by stupid people?
how do i do it if its not a digital tv
NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER USE S-Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i connected my vga cable to my lap top and computer and it dosent work
The sgvi56 what?
that is easy my dad has done it before
@RackyBashOne
Your laptop doesn’t output CMYK. No laptop or PC does. Printers do, on the other hand
Third, S-Video cables only have 4 pins. NOT SEVEN! If the cable itself has more than 4, then it’s not an S-Video cable. The reason the video out on his computer has more than 4, is because the other pins are used for different adaptors.
Forth, he’s making it sound like S-Video is only on HDTVs. This is not true. S-Video does not even offer HD.
Finally, he mentions wireless as a possibility, but then talks about a scan converter.
Do they even check these videos, before posting them?
This video is wrong, in a few areas.
First of all, you DO NOT NEED a digital television for this. In fact, all but one of the connection methods he is explaining, is actually digital. Composite, S-Video, Component, and VGA are all ANALOG.
Second, many ANALOG TVs also have an S-Video port. That connector has been around since SVHS was introduced, in the 1980s.
@Axelmaster777 that series is PURE insanity
