    Greetings,

    I'm planning to play a DVD on my E1505 and run the output through a projector. Is there a better way than the obvious to do this? (Obvious = standard VGA to VGA cable, PC to projector.)

    Are there any tricks or traps I should be aware of?

    Thanks.....LH3

    In my experience that would be the easiest and best way to do it. You'll get better resolution if you use DVI though.

    As far as i know you can use a Vga to Vga cable.. or a svideo cable
    or if your willing to spend some change, get a Vga to Dvi adapter
    ive no experience with those but my dvi to vga adapter works great
