    Is there anyway I can hook up the E1405 to the tv so I can watch dvds playing on the E1405 on the TV?

    Thanks

    S-Video if your TV Supports it, however you will need to run the audio off your Laptop, or run a Head-Phone To RCA Splitter and then hook that to your TV's Audio input

    Ohhh but you won't be able to work on it really, the screen on the TV will be what you are doing on the computer, so if you are watching a movie it will display that, if you are typing in word it will display that, and so on....

    Yeah it's easy! Depending on what inputs your TV has use that along with an S-video out cable. For example, I have a S-video out cable connect to composite cable which connects to my TV. For watching movies, the quality is fine.

    When I connected it to my TV vis S-Video to S-Video and after hitting <CTR><ALT><F2>, I do get the picture but the horizintal edge is all distorted i.e. the pin cushion. Is there some settings that I need to adjust?
