i know i've asked this before, but i didn't get much of a response. what is the cheapest and easiest way to get my 1330 to display picture on a standard definition tv (using s-video)? send me a link to a good product if you know one.
thanks

I've seen this question a few times now, and each time I've provided the same link.
Searching only takes a minute of your time!

You can also find them on ebay cheaper. -
actually khris, i've been told that those cables don't work. that i need a powered converter. do you know for sure that this will work on a m1330?

I haven't tried one, no.
Who informed you that it doesn't work and you would need a powered converter? -
most of the people on this forum...well, about half of them anyways.

Luckily, I have a newer TV that has both VGA & HDMI inputs, so it wasn't too much of a big deal to me. I wanted to test the composite and s-video anyhow, for when I visit my parents' house, and I'm sad to say that it gives a non-color and completely distorted/scrambled image. It's hard to describe, but basically, it's not even viewable. I tried both the composite and s-video--got the same result, even with 2 different cables for each.
I'm sure if you shelled out a lot more money for a sophisticated converter (I've seen some that are about US$60~$80), then it probably will work, but considering what I already have with my current TV, it's pointless for me.
Hope this helps... -
thanks james, that's kinda what i thought...
