laptop video to TV

[JeffCharger]

I would like to figure out how to push video and audio from my netbook to the TV. The netbook has no Svideo or composite out - only has 9 pin serial. How can I convert the 9 pin video out to composite for the TV? Now that I think of this, it wouldn't give me audio... but at least I'd have video on the big screen! Is there a 9 pin serial to composite converter?

You could use a 3.5mm to RCA Audio cable for audio from the headphone jack to the back of the TV. Also, stay away from the VGA to Composite adapter cables -- they won't work with your computer. You have to use a device like the ones jwilson56 linked to.

I thought I might add this site http://hookpctotv.com/ to the thread. It is useful in telling you how to hookup your computer to your TV given your outputs on the computer and the inputs on your TV.

Please tell me you mean 15 pin VGA and not 9 pin serial.

Me three...


If it's a 15 pin connection you're in luck. If it truly is a 9 pin serial connection, good luck.

Netbooks don't come with serial ports, so am sure he means VGA.

That is the assumption I made as well.... doubt it had a serial port on it.
