    Is it possible to connect it to a TV, so you can watch your games or movie on a TV?

    Just go google image HDMI and you'll see it.

    Also, note that while you can do it with VGA, you're gonna have to first connect the VGA cable to a converter box and then connect the converter box to the TV with S-video.

    Its much simpler to just go the HDMI route.

    a ton (id probably say majority) of lcd and plasma tvs nowadays that would have hdmi inputs also usually have a vga input too. but hdmi will give u your audio and video in one send, so its easiest, and allegedly has better quality.

    Hmm....I'm pretty sure that neither of my TVs have VGA inputs but I suppose some of the newer ones out there may.

    my 2 year old polaroid lcd does (its garbage i know), and i've been shopping around for bigger tvs as of late for my first appartment up at school, and a lot of them have vga inputs (labeled as pc input it their specs sometimes)

    also i'll take this moment to point out the g71gx's lack of dvi out, even tho thats negligible cause hdmi is on everything now.
